- Acquisition
to expand ability to create a comprehensive digital twin with addition of
material modeling
- Siemens
to integrate MultiMechanics’ TRUE Multiscale simulation technology with
Simcenter 3D software to accelerate innovation and adoption of advanced
materials
Siemens
announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire MultiMechanics, Inc.,
developer of MultiMech finite element software that helps companies virtually
predict failure in advanced materials at an unprecedented level of speed and
accuracy. The company plans to integrate MultiMechanics into Siemens Digital
Industries Software, which will add the ability for customers to create a
digital twin of materials by closely integrating materials
engineering with part design, performance engineering, and manufacturing through
the unique TRUE Multiscale™ technology for a broad range of material-driven
applications. MultiMechanics’ technology helps companies to efficiently predict material
properties and behavior, including failure starting at the microstructural
level, at an unprecedented level of speed and accuracy. This unique technology
will be incorporated into Simcenter™ software within Siemens’
Xcelerator portfolio, implementing materials engineering into the digital
workflow and establishing a pervasive link between material developers,
manufacturing process developers and part designers.
- Third Mireo order from DB Regio
- Service in the Karlsruhe 7b network
- Passenger comfort and sustainably increased value over entire lifecycle
DB Regio, the regional transport business of Deutsche Bahn AG, has
ordered seven Mireo trains from Siemens Mobility. The trains will operate on
the regional express route between Karlsruhe and Heidelberg/Mannheim via
Bruchsal in the Karlsruhe 7b network. They will be built at the Siemens
Mobility plant in Krefeld, Germany, and their delivery is planned for the end
of 2022.
- New trend to supply renewable energy for mines as secure and cost-efficient alternative to fossil fuels
-
- Siemens' proven microgrid controller serves as technical basis for juwi's Hybrid IQ microgrid solutions
- Two projects in Australia successfully delivered, paving way for partners to roll-out solution in other countries
Siemens and the renewable energy developer juwi have joined forces to enter into a strategic technology partnership to focus on microgrids in the mining industry. A corresponding agreement was signed today. The two companies aim to roll-out and continually develop the advanced microgrid control system that enables the seamless integration of power from renewable energy to a mine's off-grid power supply. The Siemens Sicam based microgrid control platform is a proven and tested technology which is the basis for juwi's Hybrid IQ microgrid controller. juwi, on the other hand, brings industry-specific domain know-how and an excellent track record of planning and executing renewable energy projects at mine sites.
- Sinamics Startdrive V16 brings a single-axis version of Sinamics S120 to the TIA Portal.
- Innovative functions simplify safety approval, reduce commissioning times and increase user-friendliness.
Sinamics Startdrive commissioning software is the perfect tool for integrating drive hardware into the TIA Portal engineering framework. With the latest version Sinamics Startdrive V16, Siemens is expanding the hardware portfolio available on the automation platform. Following on from the integration of the Sinamics S120 multi-axis system, the single-axis version of this high-end servo drive system can now also be engineered in the TIA Portal. The drive control of the recently introduced Simatic Drive Controller is now also integrated in the commissioning tool. Drive-CliQ hubs, which increase the number of interfaces in the Sinamics S120 multi-axis group, as well as other add-on components, are now integrated in the TIA Portal, perfectly completing this hardware update.
- Two new indoor GIS systems increase power and ensure reliable supply
for consumers
- Clean Air products ensure
much more climate-friendly operation
- Turnkey solution provides
key support for transition to a new energy mix
German transmission grid operator TransnetBW
has commissioned Siemens to build new switchgear in the 380 kilovolt (kV)
Daxlanden substation in Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg. Two new gas-insulated
indoor switchgear, initially with 26 panels, will boost the substation's
transmission capacity and cover the increased transport demand in the German
high-voltage grid as a result of the transition to a new energy mix. In the
future, it will thus be possible to transport large quantities of wind energy
from northern Germany to the southern part of the country. Replacing sulfur
hexafluoride (SF6) with treated air, so-called Clean Air, as the insulating
medium in the bus ducts simultaneously ensures much more climate-friendly
operation. The commissioning of the turnkey solution will take place in stages
and be completed in 2029. The order is priced in the low triple-digit millions
range.
- Gas turbine rotor exchange allows for increased output and efficiency
- Control system upgraded to latest version of SPPA-T3000
The Dunamenti Power Plant in Százhalombatta, Hungary, is the largest gas-fired power plant in the country with a capacity of 794 megawatts (MW), making it a major source of reliable electricity in Hungary. Recently, in collaboration with the customer and plant owner, MET Asset Management AG, and within the scope of an overhaul project, Siemens Gas and Power replaced the entire rotor of the plant's SGT5-2000E gas turbine and installed a new, state-of-the-art SPPA-T3000 control system.
