• Pilot project in Hamburg aims to develop scalable, technical solutions

Growth in electromobility, along with the required charging infrastructure, presents distribution networks with enormous challenges. To address this, Siemens and Stromnetz Hamburg GmbH have started collaborating on a three-year pilot project aimed at avoiding extensive expansion of the low-voltage networks and preventing overload situations in secondary distribution networks. Applying a concept for resilient information and communication technology to digitalize secondary distribution networks, the project's goal is to facilitate stable and reliable operation of the low-voltage networks to ensure secure power supply as demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure grows.

• Siemens to replace four floating power generation barges in the Upper Bay of New York City
• SeaFloat turnkey solution will provide reliable peaking power for New York City's renewable ambitions 
• Boost power generating efficiency by nearly 50 percent 
• 20-year long-term service agreement signed

Astoria Generating Company and Siemens signed a contract for the turnkey construction of two SeaFloat power barges to be equipped with eight Siemens SGT-A65 gas turbines. The barges will replace four existing power barges located at Gowanus Generating Station in the Upper Bay of Brooklyn, New York City, resulting in cleaner, more efficient energy production. Siemens will preinstall the high-efficiency power generating facilities on two newly constructed floating barges with a generation capacity of about 300 megawatts (MW) each. Retrofitting the station with SGT-A65 gas turbines and generators will improve the plants' power generating efficiency by nearly 50 percent while significantly reducing potential emissions of pollutants like carbon dioxide and monoxide – all while using the existing gas infrastructure. 

• Turnkey construction and operation and maintenance for 20 years
• Order worth about €450 million
• 40 percent equity participation during project development phase

Siemens will build a new combined cycle power plant as a turnkey project in Landivisiau in western France. The company will also operate and maintain the plant for a period of 20 years. With an installed capacity of 446 megawatts, the power plant will help to reliably cover Brittany's growing demand for electricity. The order volume is approximately €450 million. Siemens Financial Services (SFS), the financing arm of Siemens, held an equity stake in the project, ensuring stability during the entire development phase.

• Viking Link ensures increased security of supply and integration of renewable energy
• Siemens to deliver both HVDC converter stations 

Siemens has been awarded a contract to deliver two converter stations for the first high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) link between Great Britain and Denmark. Viking Link will enable the exchange of electricity up to 1,400 megawatts (MW) to provide increased power-supply reliability and security to consumers in both countries. By allowing transmission to flow in both directions, Viking Link will support the integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid. The interconnector is being jointly developed by National Grid Ventures (Great Britain) and Energinet (Denmark) via National Grid Viking Link Ltd. and Energinet Eltransmission A/S. Viking Link is scheduled to begin commercial operation at the end of 2023. 

• Brownfield Engine Exchange (BEX) delivers cleaner energy, long-term reliability, improved efficiency and more powerful performance
• Making Energy Greener is one of Siemens’ continuing core focus areas as the global energy landscape evolves and changes
• Over 30 engine exchange projects worldwide to date with several recent new orders

Siemens Gas and Power is focused on helping customers navigate the world’s most pressing energy problems, both for today and tomorrow. Essential applications include providing products, solutions and services that make fossil energy greener. A recent example is a project in Alabama where Siemens is has completed its first large gas turbine section exchange in the U.S. - delivering on that commitment. In this way Siemens is helping make energy greener and more sustainable in an evolving energy landscape.

• Comprehensive concept for the development of the energy sector of Nigeria
• Goal is to secure reliable and affordable electricity supply
• Scope includes rehabilitation, upgrades and expansion of transmission and distribution networks and power generation

Siemens and the Federal Government of Nigeria signed an implementation agreement for the Nigeria Electrification Roadmap. The goal of the Roadmap is to resolve existing challenges in the power sector and expand the capacity for the future power needs of the country. The document was signed by Joe Kaeser, President and CEO of Siemens AG, Onyeche Tifase, CEO of Siemens Limited and Alex Okoh, Director General/CEO of Bureau of Public Enterprises in Abuja in the presence of Muhammadu Buhari, President of Nigeria.

Siemens will provide MODEC with three 34-megawatt (MW) SGT-A35 gas turbine power generation packages that will power MODEC's floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel. The vessel, referred to as the "Eni Mexico Area 1 FPSO," will be deployed in the Offshore Area 1 approximately 6 miles (10 kilometers) off the coast of Mexico at a water depth of approximately 105 feet (32 meters). The field is owned by a consortium of two companies including Eni Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Eni Mexico") as operator and Qatar Petroleum.

• F-class gas turbines, steam turbine, generators, and main transformers 
• Power Diagnostics Services for optimized performance 
• Power supply for more than three million Iraqis

Siemens has received an order to supply the key components and long-term power generation services for the 840-megawatt (MW) Maisan combined cycle power plant in Iraq. CITIC Construction Co., Ltd., the Chinese engineering procurement and construction firm building the plant, and Iraqi developer MPC, part of Raban Al-Safina for Energy Projects (RASEP) awarded the contract valued at more than EUR 280 million to Siemens. The independent power project is expected to deliver first power by March 2021 and enter full combined cycle mode by early 2022. The plant will supply sufficient electricity to meet the needs of more than three million Iraqis, while also supporting the industrial sector.

• Compact device providing combined functionality for measurement, monitoring and data transmission
• Separate detection of energy consumption and energy recovery
• Operating hour and switching cycle counters enable preventive maintenance
• Commissioning, measured values and status information via Profinet

Siemens has just launched its SIRIUS 3UG546 DC load monitoring relay on the market. The new device is the most compact of its kind for direct current (DC) applications, enabling simple and precise power measurement. The SIRIUS 3UG546 is unique in our industry: It is the first and only DC load monitoring relay to combine current and voltage measurement, power monitoring, communication and various other useful functions in one single, compact device. Until now, several individual components were required for each of these functions. The innovative new approach saves space and costs.
