- New devices for electrical installations in industrial and infrastructure environments with a lower nominal current of 0.1 to 0.4 amperes
- Firmware update with improved control and diagnostic functions
- Failsafe group shutdown function without additional wiring
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is adding four new devices to its portfolio of Simatic ET 200SP motor starters, which can be used to start electric drives with a power output from 0.1 to 0.4 amperes (A). These types of drives are found in fans and coolant pumps, for example. The compact motor starters are installed in control cabinets and are designed to start single and three-phase motors of machines and systems, protecting them against overloads and short-circuits. They are each available in standard and safety variants.
- Safer and more efficient: Catania Airport is updated with integrated building automation by Siemens
- More reliable and accurate fire detection using Sinteso connected to the Desigo CC building management software
- Cloud-based Navigator software to optimize energy consumption
With almost ten million passengers in 2018, Catania Airport is continuing to grow, solidifying its number one position in southern Italy. This makes the hub an increasingly important strategic part of the Mediterranean aviation network. As a result, however, it faces greater security and energy efficiency challenges. This is the context in which the Sicilian airport made the decision to entrust Siemens with its integrated building automation project, intended to increase security levels and monitor overall energy consumption at the hub.
- Spectrum Power ADMS to provide reliable energy supply for 1.5 million people
- One multi-site system to handle all voltage levels
Hafslund Nett, Norway's largest grid company has contracted Siemens to supply a new Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) for the operation of the regional power grid in Akershus, Oslo and Østfold. The fully integrated grid operating center will enable monitoring and control of the complete power grid covering all (high-, medium-, low-) voltage levels. At the same time, it will allow easy integration of third-party IT/OT systems, such as customer information systems, workforce management or geographical information systems. The project is expected to be operational at the beginning of 2022.
- Siemens successfully completed the first phase of its shallow water test of the Subsea Power Grid.
- The development program was conducted in collaboration with industry partners Chevron, Equinor, ExxonMobil, and Eni Norge.
- This will be the world's first Subsea Power Grid for medium voltage power distribution using pressure compensated technology.
Siemens has successfully concluded the first phase of its Subsea Power Grid shallow water test in Trondheim, Norway. Siemens, in collaboration with industry partners Chevron, Equinor, ExxonMobil, and Eni Norge, is in the final stages of a program to develop a barrier-breaking system that will become the world’s first Subsea Power Grid designed for distribution of medium voltage power using pressure compensated technology.
- Expansion of Siemens offering with open software framework for building automation and IoT
- California-based J2 Innovations to be managed as independent legal entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Siemens
- International expansion of J2 Innovations beyond North America
Siemens is acquiring J2 Innovations (J2), a leading software framework provider for building automation and IoT, headquartered near Los Angeles, California. The company has been a successful player in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) software business for 10 years, building a strong reputation in the US and internationally with its FIN (Fluid INtegration) Framework technology. Both parties have agreed not to disclose financial details. The transaction is expected to close by the end of May 2018.
Siemens has received an order from the regional grid operator EWE Netz GmbH to supply the key components of a Siharbor shore power supply system in Cuxhaven. The order includes the complete transformer station as well as the cable feed system for ro-ro (roll-on/roll-off) ships. The plant owner will be the northern German Gesellschaft für Hafeninfrastruktur Niedersachsen Ports (NPorts). With a power output of 630 kilowatts (kW), the plant will supply these ships with electricity during their lay time. They will thus be able to turn off their diesel generators, significantly lowering exhaust gas and noise pollution. The berth is located next to the new factory for wind turbines operated by Siemens Gamesa, which will be the plant's main user in the future. Siemens Gamesa will ship wind turbine components to its sister factory in Hull, UK. The Siharbor system is expected to go into operation by April 2018.
Building on its commitment to innovative power plant solutions, Siemens has been awarded a contract from Colbún S.A. to upgrade the Central Termoeléctrica Nehuenco-I plant with Siemens' Power Plant Automation T3000 Cue (SPPA-T3000) system. The 368-megawatt (MW) combined cycle power plant is located in Quillota, Valparaíso Region, in Chile and provides electricity to approximately 350,000 homes in the region.
- New outbound baggage screening and inbound baggage handling system
- Project completion planned for summer 2017
- Los Angeles International Airport is the sixth busiest airport in the world
Southwest Airlines® has chosen Siemens to install a new baggage handling system in Terminal 1 at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The project covers layout, engineering, assembly, commissioning and integration of a completely new outbound baggage screening system and a new inbound baggage handling system. The extension and conversion work will be performed during ongoing operations with completion planned for summer 2017.
