Siemens
and Swinburne University of Technology have agreed to set up the most advanced
future Energy Transition Hub of its kind in Australia in at the University’s Hawthorn campus
in Melbourne. Featuring
some of the most advanced digital energy technology from Siemens and the
technical, R&D and teaching expertise of Swinburne, the $5.2 million Hub
aims to build a future energy grid laboratory accessible to students and
industry. When fully operational, the Hub will also offer researchers and
industry the opportunity to work on solutions for greener, more efficient
future energy systems using Siemens Xcelerator, a new open digital business
platform and marketplace.
- ETH Zurich runs unique research project on automation and energy supply for buildings in different climate zones
- Project includes one-of-a-kind artificial sun
- Siemens supplies digital building technologies, part of Siemens Xcelerator, for lab
ETH Zurich,
one of the world’s most renowned universities, has just opened a unique
research facility: the Zero Carbon Building Systems (ZCBS) Lab. It allows research
into the behavior of building components and systems in different climate
zones. The new building, located on the university campus in Zurich, comprises
two floors with different test cells, climate chambers, and experimentation
rooms. As part of its existing industrial partnership with ETH Zurich, Siemens
has equipped the new research facility with state-of-the-art digital building technologies,
including for building operations and management. The technologies are part of
the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.
- Siemens will deliver energy efficiency improvement measures to immediately cut 10 percent of the University’s carbon emissions
- Subsequent project phases will see on-site, low-carbon energy production, and the installation of renewable generation infrastructure
- Partnership will create an inclusive talent pipeline for the green economy, and a ‘living lab’ for teaching and research
The University of East London (UEL) in the
United Kingdom has established a strategic partnership with Siemens to collaborate
on their aspiration of achieving net-zero carbon by 2030. Siemens will deliver
improvement measures to reduce overall energy use, and engineer solutions to drive
the shift to renewable and on-site low-carbon energy generation at UEL’s
campuses in the London Docklands and Stratford.
- New innovation hub for research at Siemens in Garching, Germany
- Joint research facility with Technical University of Munich in Garching’s “Isar Valley”
- Modern and open work environments in a digitally planned, sustainable building
Just nine months after construction began, a
topping-out ceremony is being celebrated for the new Siemens Technology Center
at the research campus in the university town of Garching, Germany, near
Munich. As a result, this new building – which was planned digitally and is
being built to meet stringent sustainability requirements – has thus now
reached an important milestone on the journey to Siemens’ future research activities in the
Munich area. With its modern work environments, this facility will serve as an
innovation hub that provides space for inspiration and new ideas. At this center,
more than 450 researchers from Siemens’ “Technology” unit will collaborate on
technologies of the future with around 150 employees and students from the
Technical University of Munich (TUM).
- Industry
analyst firm recognizes Siemens for clear strategy, broad portfolio and
successful commitment to industrial metaverse
- Siemens
manager Virginie Maillard elected to the Metaverse Standards Forum’s board of
directors
Siemens is
the leading international provider in the growing industrial metaverse market,
according to the latest PAC RADAR from PAC, the renowned market research
company specializing in business software, IT services and digital
transformation. This rating is based on three aspects: a clear strategy, an
existing portfolio and the progress Siemens is making in this area.
- Siemens installs its fluorine gas-free, medium-voltage switchgear NXPLUS C 24 blue GIS at Iberdrola
- Climate-friendly insulating gas Clean Air with a global warming potential <1 consists exclusively of natural components of ambient air
- The power distribution solution enhances sustainability and climate protection for Spanish utility
Headquartered in the Spanish city of Bilbao, Iberdrola, one
of the world’s largest electric utilities and the world's largest wind power
producer, aims to become carbon neutral across Europe by 2030. To achieve this
goal, it is systematically implementing its environmentally-friendly and
sustainable business model. To this end, Siemens Smart Infrastructure has been
commissioned by i-DE Redes Eléctricas Inteligentes SAU, the company responsible
for power distribution activities within the Iberdrola Group, to supply its sustainable
medium-voltage switchgear to the northern Spanish province of Burgos. This marks
the first installation of fluorine gas-free switchgear from Siemens’
climate-friendly blue portfolio at a customer site in Spain.
- Siemens to supply fluorine gas-free blue GIS medium-voltage switchgear to Liechtensteinische Kraftwerke (LKW)
- Climate-neutral insulation gas Clean Air replaces the greenhouse gas SF6 and dispenses with all other fluorinated gases
- Investment in climate protection and supply security in Liechtenstein
Liechtensteinische Kraftwerke
(LKW) has chosen sustainable medium-voltage switchgear from Siemens. The new
5-field NXPLUS C 24 system from the environmentally friendly blue GIS portfolio
of Siemens Smart Infrastructure was commissioned by the customer at the
Wiesengasse West substation in Schaan, Liechtenstein. This makes LKW one of the
first grid operators to convert an entire medium-voltage switchgear
installation to the climate-friendly insulating gas Clean Air.
