- 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.
Siemens Water Solutions successfully installed and started up a Zimpro® wet air oxidation (WAO) system at a global petrochemical company’s olefins plant in the Southern U.S. The order, received in November 2017, is the second Zimpro® wet air oxidation system supplied to the customer. The first system was supplied in 2004.The Zimpro® WAO system will treat spent caustic generated in the production of ethylene by destroying odorous and high chemical oxygen demand (COD) pollutants. The system also generates an effluent that can be safely neutralized and sent to a biological treatment plant, where it is further treated for discharge.Siemens Water Solutions addresses water and wastewater needs of the oil and gas industry with a portfolio that includes physical and chemical separation, biological treatment, and complex hydrothermal technologies.
- Siemens, MW Storage International, Fluence and Vibeco develop unique ecosystem for global beverage manufacturer
- Solution to enable new levels of energy optimization
- Encompasses software, financing, latest storage technology
- Sinebrychoff’s first energy storage service contract
In a move that brings new market opportunities for industrial players, Siemens has developed a unique business model to support the next level of energy optimization for Finnish brewery Sinebrychoff, a subsidiary of the international Carlsberg Group. At the heart of the solution, which will be implemented at Sinebrychoff’s plant in greater Helsinki, is a virtual power plant (VPP) and the latest energy storage technology, supported with financing solutions, to create one of the first examples of power flexibility in an industrial site.
- First Siemens Energy electrolysis project in China
- Cooperation with SPIC on green hydrogen
- Lighthouse project for ongoing energy transition
Siemens Energy and Beijing Green Hydrogen Technology Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Power International Development Ltd. (China Power), signed an agreement on providing a hydrogen production system for a hydrogen fueling station. Located in Yanqing District, Beijing, one of the three main competition areas for a major sporting event in 2022, the green hydrogen production solution provided by Siemens Energy will help guarantee the hydrogen supply for the public transportation during and after the event. The megawatt green hydrogen production solution is the first of its kind to be built by Siemens Energy in China. The project is expected to be delivered in May 2021.
- Siemens will refurbish 30-year-old HVDC back-to-back system in the State of Madhya Pradesh in India
- Modernization will extend the lifetime to ensure reliable power supply
- First Siemens refurbishment project of a third-party HVDC system
Power Grid Corporation of India (POWERGRID), the Central Transmission Utility of India, has chosen Siemens to modernize the country's first and oldest high voltage direct current (HVDC) link, Vindhyachal. Located in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, the 500-megawatt HVDC back-to-back system was put into operation in 1989 to interconnect the asynchronous 400-kilovolt alternating current networks of the Northern and Western regions. By installing its latest HVDC components Siemens will extend the useful life of the link. This will be the first Siemens HVDC modernization project in India and globally the company's first refurbishment of a third-party system involving replacement of the thyristor valves. The upgrade is expected to be completed in 2021.
Siemens Gas and Power has entered into an
agreement with Total, a broad energy group, to advance new concepts for green liquified
natural gas (LNG) production. As part of the contract, Siemens Gas and Power is
conducting studies to explore a variety of possible
liquefaction and power generation plant designs, with the ultimate goal of decarbonizing
the production of LNG.
- Bavarian Minister-President Dr. Markus Söder kicks off H2lighthouse project for energy transition in Germany
- With 8.75 megawatts of electrical power, it will be one of Germany’s
largest carbon-free hydrogen generation plants
- Siemens Financial Services, Rießner Gase GmbH and SWW Wunsiedel GmbH
are investors in Wunsiedel’s WUN H2 operating company
- Plant to go into operation in
summer 2022 with an annual production of up to 1,350 tons of hydrogen and CO2savings of up to 13,500 tons
- WUN H2 to supply Northern Bavaria, Thuringia and neighboring part of
Czech Republic with hydrogen
Kickoff
for one of the largest green hydrogen projects in Germany: The official
groundbreaking ceremony in Wunsiedel marked the start of construction of a
hydrogen generation plant with a capacity of 8.75 megawatts. The facility will
produce up to 1,350 tons of hydrogen per year using only renewable energy, for
example from solar or wind power. Using the generated hydrogen in
transportation and industry allows for CO2savings of up to 13,500
annually.
- Siemens Energy delivers another highly efficient combined cycle power plant to Marl
- Evonik replaces old backup gas power plant
- Siemens Financial Services arranges customized financing
Siemens Energy is building
another highly efficient combined cycle power plant for the specialty chemical
company Evonik at its largest industrial location in Marl, North
Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Consisting of one SGT-800 gas turbine, one SST-400
steam turbine, and two generators, the plant will produce power and heat with
90 megawatts of electrical capacity and 220 megawatts of thermal capacity. It
will go into operation in 2022 replacing a backup gas power plant. Along with
the power plant components, Siemens Energy is also supplying the SPPA-T3000
control system for controlling the cutting-edge plant. A long-term service
agreement between Siemens Energy and Evonik will ensure the availability of the
power plant and its components.
