- New order for equipping two solar farms in Pakistan and Brazil with a total capacity of 140 megawatts
- Provision of the entire product portfolio, including turnkey installation by Siemens
- The collaboration between Siemens and the solar inverter manufacturer SMA Solar Technology AG will end on December 31, 2017
Siemens has received an order for the turnkey electrical equipment and installation of two solar farms in Brazil and Pakistan with a total capacity of 140 megawatts (MW). The customer for the PV power plant in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, is the Turkish company Zorlu enerji holding, while the PV power plant in Brazil is operated by Quebec Engenharia. The scope of supply includes, among other things, the transformers and medium voltage switchgear (RMUs) from Siemens as well as solar inverters from its technology partner Wind & Sun Technologies SL (WSTECH). Siemens will install the components as a turnkey project and connect the solar farms to the local power grid. Both plants are expected to go into operation in early 2018.

- 5 and 10 ampere power supply for the Simatic ET 200SP
- Flat format for use on distribution boards
- Current monitor for early fault detection and energy management
- Shutdown and isolation of the 24 V supply simplify commissioning and maintenance of the system
Siemens is bringing onto the market the Simatic ET 200SP PS, a single-phase power supply for the Simatic ET 200SP distributed I/O system. The 24 volt power supplies from the Sitop product family supply rated currents of 5 and 10 amperes, and their design, construction and functionality are optimally matched to the distributed controller. An on/off switch for the 24 volts, and plug-in terminals for three load circuits simplify the commissioning and maintenance of the system. The power supply has a current monitor that outputs the momentary output current and enables, for example, optimization of the energy management. A mounting depth of a mere 75 mm allows the power supply to be used on flat distribution boards.
- Siemens EnergyIP software will manage nearly five million meters by 2022
- Con Edison is the first U.S. energy providers capable of recording and processing electric meter data in near real-time
- Solution underpins the utility's strategy to transform to a new energy system, part of New York's "Reforming the Energy Vision" (REV) strategy
Con Edison Company of New York and Orange & Rockland Utilities (O&R), both regulated operating companies of Consolidated Edison, Inc., have begun their advanced metering rollout after the successful initial implementation of Siemens EnergyIP meter data management software. The software solution was implemented by Omnetric Group, the Siemens and Accenture technology services company, dedicated to the energy sector.
- Quiet running due to diesel-electric propulsion
- Blue Drive Plus C improves safety and lowers operating costs
- Launch scheduled for early 2020
On behalf of Lousiana-based Gulf Islands Shipyard, Siemens will supply the propulsion system for a Regional Class Research Vessel (RCRV). The ship is operated by the Oregon State University (OSU).
