- First pilot project with a solar power generation capacity of 45 megawatts and hydroelectric capacity of 36 megawatts in Thailand
- Software enables use of real-time data for analytics and decision making
- Driving clean energy use and reducing carbon emissions
The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has moved forward
with its policy of using clean energy and reducing carbon dioxide emissions
with smart technology by deploying Siemens' SICAM Microgrid Control and
Photovoltaic Plant Control to balance the energy mix generated by the world's
largest Hydro-Floating Solar Hybrid Project at Sirindhorn Dam, Ubon Ratchathani
Province. The project with a solar power generation capacity of 45 megawatts and a hydroelectric capacity of 36 megawatts, capable of generating electricity from renewable sources day
and night, recently began commercial operation, acclaimed as the first of its
kind in Thailand.
Siemens today announced that Airbus, a leading
aircraft manufacturer,
has selected Capital™ electrical/electronic (E/E) systems
development software from Siemens‘ Xcelerator portfolio to accelerate the
development of commercial aircraft.

- Consistent data management via an easy-to-use app
- Augmented Reality for mobile devices
- Can be used in commissioning, inspection and mobile maintenance
"Comos Mobile
Worker" is a new software application for mobile data management with
integrated augmented reality functionalities from Siemens. It was developed in
cooperation with Augmensys GmbH, a specialist in the field of mobile data
management / augmented reality. For the fast and safe maintenance of process
plants, the Comos Mobile Worker app visualizes and processes all required data,
e.g. from ERP systems, engineering data and also live data from the process
control system in an easy-to-use interface.
- Siemens signs a Memorandum of Understanding with LG Energy Solution: Both companies will collaborate in the field of battery manufacturing intelligence
- Collaboration will minimize carbon footprint in the supply chain, supporting ESG targets
- The partnerships’ first line of collaboration will be realized at Ultium Cells LLC, located in Tennessee
- Siemens solidifies its position as a technology partner for the advancement and efficiency of battery manufacturing technology
Siemens and LG Energy Solution (LGES), a leading global battery manufacturer signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to increase cooperation in the field of battery manufacturing, particularly the digitization of production process. Under the terms of the agreement, which was signed by Cedrik Neike, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO Digital Industries and Young Soo Kwon, CEO of LG Energy Solution and at LGES’s headquarters in Seoul, the two companies plan to take steps to promote the process of battery manufacturing intelligence at LGES production facilities worldwide.
Challenges and opportunities in the energy systems require a new smart, more adaptable grid infrastructure. Today, power grid operation is a complex task: Volatile power generation and multi-directional power flows from distributed, increasingly renewable sources and prosumers call for a smarter approach. With digital solutions that connect the physical and digital worlds we integrate intelligence across the energy value chain in systems and operations. We help connect grids, buildings, and industries enhancing efficiency and sustainability. We shape grids that are reliable and resilient, that integrate and manage renewables and that operate increasingly autonomous. These responsive grids support the sustainable energy transition, help provide affordable energy to society and our customers to stay competitive in an ever changing world. During Europe´s largest energy related trade show Enlit, which took place in Milan, Italy, Siemens presented its technological solutions to these challenges.
- New DALI-2 certification for Siemens Desigo PXC3 and KNX gateway N 141 as well as switch/dim actuator N525D11
- Certification ensures interoperability in multi-vendor environments
- Lighting based on circadian rhythm helps improve health conditions in indoor environments
Siemens Smart Infrastructure’s building products KNX/DALI gateway
N 141 and the switch/dim actuator 2x DALI Broadcast N 525D11 as well as the Desigo
PXC3 controller were recently certified under the new DALI-2 communication
protocol standard for lighting in buildings. DALI-2 is an update to the original
“Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI)” protocol and facilitates
interoperability and control for LED drivers. The newly certified Siemens
products will help implement state-of-the-art human centric lighting (HCL) applications
also in multi-vendor environments in order to increase concentration,
productivity, and well-being indoors.
Moreover, such lighting applications seamlessly integrate
into holistic building automation systems provided by Siemens which combine heating,
ventilation, air conditioning, and shading. Customers can choose between
solutions based on either Desigo or KNX, according to their individual
installation requirements.
- EcoDomus software creates and visualizes BIM-based digital building twins
- Acquisition to enrich Siemens’ digital building software portfolio, addressing increasing customer requirements
- Customers benefit from optimized operations and easier maintenance of their buildings
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has signed an agreement
to acquire digital twin software for buildings from EcoDomus, a US-based
company. The move helps Siemens Smart Infrastructure expand its digital
building portfolio, including its cloud-based building operations twin software
and its flagship building management platform Desigo CC. The EcoDomus software creates,
maintains and visualizes Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based digital
building twins, making design and construction data available for building
operations and maintenance. Customers can generate digital replicas of their real
buildings and assets, creating a common data environment that integrates BIM, Building
Management Systems (BMS), Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)
and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The solution enables BIM-driven workflows
and digital twin-based lifecycle management, complemented by 3D visualization.
