industrial gas turbines will provide peaking power to help improve the
reliability and flexibility of the Belarusian power grid
Siemens will deliver the power generation equipment for two
new peaking power plants in the Republic of Belarus. The customer is the
state-owned utility company RUE Vitebskenergo. The new plants will be operated in
conjunction with the existing Lukomlskaya and Novopolotskaya power
plants in
the Vitebsk region in northern Belarus and will help ensure the
reliability and flexibility of the country’s power grid. The plants are expected to go into
operation in the end of 2021.
Independent industry research company Verdantix has recently ranked
Siemens Smart Infrastructure as a leading provider of the Internet of Things
(IoT) platforms for smart buildings. The “Green Quadrant IoT platforms for
Smart Buildings 2019” report assesses 13 companies that Verdantix considers as
shaping the market, which is still at its infancy but seeing strong
competition.
- Cooperation aims to test renewable fuels at the Rya CHP plant located in the energy port of Gothenburg
- First phase with Göteborg Energi is to validate 3D-printed burners at the Rya plant
By 2030, the ambition is that all district heating in Gothenburg, Sweden, will be produced by renewable or recovered energy sources. With this in mind Göteborg Energi and Siemens have come together in a cooperation agreement with the aim of testing state-of-the-art gas turbine technology that enables the operation of renewable fuels in the Rya combined heat and power (CHP) plant, which is today powered by natural gas.
- Five sensors in a single device for optimal ambient conditions and maximum energy savings
- Control of lighting, ventilation and heating systems
- Precise readings, monitoring and control of energy consumption
- Fast installation thanks to a single KNX cable
The new presence detector WIDE UP 258Dx1 from Siemens Smart Infrastructure can now for the first time contribute to energy-efficient lighting and climate control without having to rely on additional accessories thanks to its built-in multi-sensor technology. It is part of the GAMMA instabus building system technology portfolio, a series of products based on the worldwide KNX standard and with five different sensors for HVAC and lighting control. Dedicated sensors record presence, brightness, temperature, humidity and CO2 levels, guaranteeing perfect room conditions in commercial buildings with substantial room depth and high occupancy fluctuations.
- Digital solutions provide for improved operational efficiency and reduced emissions
Siemens will equip Lalitpur Power Generation Company Limited (LPGCL), a Bajaj Group company, with advanced digital solutions for its power plant located in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, India.
- 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.
At "SPS – Smart Production Solutions" 2019, Siemens will present sector-specific applications and future technologies for the digital transformation of the discrete and process industries. At the heart of the 4000 square meter booth will be new products, solutions and services from the Digital Enterprise portfolio, which can be used to merge the real and virtual world.
On November 26, the first day of SPS, Klaus Helmrich spoke at the Siemens press conference, which took place in the trade show Convention Center. Mr Helmrich discussed the latest trends in digitalization and the next stage of digital transformation in the discrete and process industries.
- Exact recording of energy consumption and electrical parameters
- Secure data transfer over existing communication networks
- Flexible use in industrial and commercial buildings as well as data centers
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has added the 7KM PAC3220 and 7KM PAC3120 measuring devices to its Sentron power monitoring portfolio. These devices capture energy and system data from buildings, infrastructure and industrial facilities and transfer them via standard communication protocols to higher-level energy management, automation and IoT systems. This data can then be used to identify energy hogs, detect system malfunctions as early as possible and proactively prevent downtimes. This allows companies to sustainably boost their energy efficiency and system availability. The new devices offer higher accuracy than the previous models and have a new design.
