- 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.
- Voltage
regulation system for the Kusenhorst substation
- Two-thirds
of the multilevel STATCOMs installed worldwide are from Siemens
In handing over the converter for a state-of-the-art grid
stabilization system for voltage regulation to the German transmission grid
operator Amprion, Siemens is celebrating delivery of its one-hundredth STATCOM
(static synchronous compensator) from the SVC PLUS series. The turnkey
installation will be deployed in the important Kusenhorst node in North Rhine
Westphalia, Germany. STATCOM systems stabilize fluctuations in the grid by
absorbing or feeding in voltage-supporting reactive power, depending on the
requirements. This approach significantly reduces the risk of voltage drops and
blackouts. Two-thirds of the globally installed STATCOM systems with modular
multilevel converter technology (MMC) are from Siemens, making the company the
world market leader in this segment.
- New combined cycle power plant Yerevan 2
- Plant operation and maintenance for 20 years
- Siemens to hold equity in special-purpose project company
Siemens will supply a complete power island for the new Yerevan 2 combined cycle power plant at the existing plant site in the Armenian capital. The company will also operate and maintain the plant for a period of 20 years. Siemens Financial Services (SFS) – Siemens' financing arm – holds a 40 percent share in the special-purpose project company ArmPower founded specifically for this project. Yerevan 2 is the largest single order that Siemens has ever received from Armenia.
