The Acvatix product line meets all control and hydronic requirements associated with the generation, distribution and use of heating and cooling. The SSA actuators feature quiet and fault-free operation and manual override for flexible valve and actuator testing, regardless of system availability. New features offer a variety of installation options as well as a choice of installation direction. With new functionalities such as feedback signal for safety-critical applications and a modern, compact and IP54- compatible design, the new actuators can be used for more applications than ever.
- Communications-Based Train Control signaling system to be installed on 11km of ‘D’ Metro Line in Buenos Aires, Argentina
- The automated signaling system will provide greater availability, enhanced operations and passenger experience
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract by Subterráneos de Buenos Aires, Sociedad del Estado (SBASE) to install a Communications-Based Train Control system (CBTC) on the ‘D’ Metro Line in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The CBTC signaling system will be fully implemented across the entire 11 kilometer line that incorporates 16 stations between “Catedral”, located in the historic Plaza de Mayo, and “Congreso de Tucumán”, located in the northern part, close to the borders of the city of Buenos Aires. The system will include the installation of onboard units on 24 existing cars, as well as a radio system, electronic interlockings, and wayside equipment. All elements of the system will be coordinated by a newly established operations control center. As part of the overall SBASE project to renovate the ‘D’ Metro Line, Siemens Mobility will also provide a passenger information system.
- Measurement and control of particulates with a particle size of 0.3 to 2.5 μm (PM2.5) or 0.3 to 10 μm (PM10)
- Unique mechanical design for highly accurate measurements
- Easy installation on existing and new air handling units (AHU)
The new PM2.5 duct type fine dust sensor from Siemens Smart Infrastructure comes in two variants and creates a healthy as well as productive indoor air climate. Part of the Symaro product group, the sensors measure dust and dirt particles, including fine sand, transmitting them rapidly and precisely to advanced building management systems for comprehensive climate monitoring and control. This improves the indoor air quality of residential and commercial buildings, which in turn has a positive effect on the health and comfort of room occupants. By ensuring the early detection of hazardous particles, the sensors help achieve energy and cost- efficient control of the entire HVAC system.
- Co-CEO Sabrina Soussan to leave the company at her own request
- Michael Peter stands for strong expertise in digitalization and
connectivity as well as for continuity in Siemens Mobility’s top management
Michael
Peter will be Siemens Mobility’s sole CEO, effective July 10, 2020. Sabrina Soussan,
who has been his Co-CEO until now, will leave the company at her own request to
take on a new challenge outside Siemens AG. Until her contract ends on December
31, 2020, Ms. Soussan will remain available to Siemens Mobility in an
advisory capacity.
- Up to three additional applications on one processor module
- Siapp eliminates need for additional hardware, saving space and costs
- Secure distributed data processing 24/7
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is expanding the options for distribution grid applications with the new Siapp, a software license for the Sicam A8000 automation and remote terminal unit. The Siapp application is based on the Sicam A8000 with the powerful CP-8050 processor module. Siapp allows up to three separate custom applications to be developed, parameterized and loaded onto the remote terminal unit. Only one runtime license is needed. Siapp complies with the strictest data security standards and benefits customers including major energy suppliers, municipal utilities and industrial companies.
- Direct integration into Building Operator for control, alarming and energy reporting
- Expanded product range now available as 3-port valve
- New features such as Delta-T limitation control, make it possible to optimize plants with chillers and reduce consumption
The self-optimizing and dynamic Intelligent Valve from Siemens Smart Infrastructure has become more versatile, thanks to new features and applications for heating groups and air handling units. The device controls the flow, measures temperature and output and automatically adjusts the valve settings to the heat exchanger. The Intelligent Valve is connected to the cloud and now, for the first time, directly integrated into Building Operator, the Siemens cloud application for the remote monitoring of buildings. This makes it possible to control the Intelligent Valve and adjust its settings anytime and anywhere. For increased flexibility, the product range has been expanded to include 3-port valves, which allow variable-temperature and constant-flow control of the water supply (mixed circuits). New features such as Delta-T (DT) limitation control, differential pressure and flow temperature control ensure smooth and energy-efficient HVAC plant operation and enable the Intelligent Valve to be used in even more applications.
- Greater comfort for passengers
- Environmentally friendly, energy-saving trains with proven technology
After the first C2 metro train from the first option in 2016 entered service in May, Stadtwerke München (SWM) has also called up the second and final options for 22 six-car metro trains from Siemens. When all trains are delivered, Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG) will operate a total of 67 C2 trains on its system.
- Joint training against cyberattacks key in protecting digital grids
- Valuable insights on attacks and vulnerabilities enable innovative solutions and safer products
Siemens Smart Infrastructure and the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to continue the cooperation on cybersecurity for critical infrastructure. The CCDCOE organized annual high-level cyber defence exercise Locked Shields exercise provides a key pillar to jointly build up defence capabilities. With the new agreement, the parties advance their existing cooperation on cyber security training for power grids. In experimenting with grid control software Spectrum Power, Siemens gains valuable insights on the potential attack vectors and can thoroughly test new security features or protocols for its products and solutions.
- System based on Siemens Spectrum Power supports second-by-second control of all assets and integration of RWE wind and solar farms
- Improved combination of electricity generation from renewables and conventional fuel is a major milestone for the energy transition
RWE is making its power station control system fit for the future by adopting a new technology. Optime, a new SCADA system based on Siemens Spectrum Power, gives RWE a uniform control technology. SCADA stands for 'Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition' – in other words monitoring and managing technical processes using a computer system. Previously, there were two separate systems: one for power plants in Germany and another for the Netherlands and Belgium. The new solution combines the two, while integrating RWE’s renewable energy assets in Europe. It can also accommodate additional units such as battery storage systems and diesel-powered backup generators.
