- F-class
gas turbines, steam turbine, generators, and main transformers
- Power Diagnostics Services for optimized performance
- Power supply for more than three million Iraqis
Siemens has received an order to supply the key components and long-term power generation services for the 840-megawatt (MW) Maisan combined cycle power plant in Iraq. CITIC Construction Co., Ltd., the Chinese engineering procurement and construction firm building the plant, and Iraqi developer MPC, part of Raban Al-Safina for Energy Projects (RASEP) awarded the contract valued at more than EUR 280 million to Siemens. The independent power project is expected to deliver first power by March 2021 and enter full combined cycle mode by early 2022. The plant will supply sufficient electricity to meet the needs of more than three million Iraqis, while also supporting the industrial sector.
Siemens will provide MODEC with three 34-megawatt (MW) SGT-A35 gas turbine power generation packages that will power MODEC's floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel. The vessel, referred to as the "Eni Mexico Area 1 FPSO," will be deployed in the Offshore Area 1 approximately 6 miles (10 kilometers) off the coast of Mexico at a water depth of approximately 105 feet (32 meters). The field is owned by a consortium of two companies including Eni Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Eni Mexico") as operator and Qatar Petroleum.
- SWM and MVG order additional Avenio trams
- Order volume more than €200 million
- Deliveries to begin in 2021
Stadtwerke München (SWM) have ordered 73 additional Avenio trams worth more than €200 million from Siemens Mobility. The municipally owned company is thus drawing existing options. The trams will supplement those of the same type already in service in the city. Delivery of the first vehicles is planned for 2021.
In September 2012, Munich city utility company (SWM) was the first customer to order the new Avenio for the light rail network of the MVG (Munich transport company). In the meantime, SWM has continually expanded its Avenio fleet.
- Siemens FABRIC combines design and data to tell a fascinating story about Berlin
- Kiani Del Valle has implemented a design by Vladimir Karaleev to create a 360-degree audiovisual experience dome
- Siemens also to launch "The Berlin soundtrack" produced by musician and composer Andrew Claristidge (Acid Washed) and available on SoundCloud
On July 2, Siemens will launch an extraordinary data visualization project called Siemens FABRIC at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Berlin, demonstrating the crucial role that data is playing in the transformation of today's global urban centers into the smart cities of the future.
- Compact device providing combined functionality for measurement, monitoring and data transmission
- Separate detection of energy consumption and energy recovery
- Operating hour and switching cycle counters enable preventive maintenance
- Commissioning, measured values and status information via Profinet
Siemens has just launched its SIRIUS 3UG546 DC load monitoring relay on the market. The new device is the most compact of its kind for direct current (DC) applications, enabling simple and precise power measurement. The SIRIUS 3UG546 is unique in our industry: It is the first and only DC load monitoring relay to combine current and voltage measurement, power monitoring, communication and various other useful functions in one single, compact device. Until now, several individual components were required for each of these functions. The innovative new approach saves space and costs.
- Voltage
regulation system for the Kusenhorst substation
- Two-thirds
of the multilevel STATCOMs installed worldwide are from Siemens
In handing over the converter for a state-of-the-art grid
stabilization system for voltage regulation to the German transmission grid
operator Amprion, Siemens is celebrating delivery of its one-hundredth STATCOM
(static synchronous compensator) from the SVC PLUS series. The turnkey
installation will be deployed in the important Kusenhorst node in North Rhine
Westphalia, Germany. STATCOM systems stabilize fluctuations in the grid by
absorbing or feeding in voltage-supporting reactive power, depending on the
requirements. This approach significantly reduces the risk of voltage drops and
blackouts. Two-thirds of the globally installed STATCOM systems with modular
multilevel converter technology (MMC) are from Siemens, making the company the
world market leader in this segment.
- New combined cycle power plant Yerevan 2
- Plant operation and maintenance for 20 years
- Siemens to hold equity in special-purpose project company
Siemens will supply a complete power island for the new Yerevan 2 combined cycle power plant at the existing plant site in the Armenian capital. The company will also operate and maintain the plant for a period of 20 years. Siemens Financial Services (SFS) – Siemens' financing arm – holds a 40 percent share in the special-purpose project company ArmPower founded specifically for this project. Yerevan 2 is the largest single order that Siemens has ever received from Armenia.
