- Intelligent Valve from Siemens now also operates with a glycol content in the hydronic circuit
- Integrated change-over function saves engineering time and investment costs at the automation level
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has enhanced its Intelligent Valve with new glycol capability. As
a result, the valve can now be used in hydronic circuits with ethylene
glycol-based antifreeze. The glycol option substantially increases the range of
use cases for the Intelligent Valve: It extends the application range to hydronic
circuits that are exposed to ambient temperatures below 0°C during standstill.
Example applications include coils in air handling units (AHUs) or recoolers of
chiller plants. With the new capability, the required burst protection can be
provided without sacrificing the well-known benefits of Intelligent Valve such
as energy transparency, pressure-independent flow control or optimized Delta T
(ΔT).
- Siemens to supply two Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) for Alexandria Supervisory Control Center and West Alexandria Distribution Control Center
- Advanced metering infrastructure, including the supply of 300,000 smart meters, will be established during the project implementation
- Alexandria Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) serves customers in Alexandria, a city with about five million inhabitants
- Implementing state-of-the-art software solutions and automation devices will help AEDC to increase efficiency and reliability of the electricity supply, while reducing electricity distribution losses
- This project funded by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has a value of about EUR 50 million
Siemens
has been awarded a contract to upgrade the distribution management
system and establish an advanced metering infrastructure for Alexandria
Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) – Lot 1 of a JICA-funded loan. As
subsidiary of the state-owned utility Egyptian Electricity Holding Company
(EEHC), AEDC is responsible for the distribution network of Alexandria
Governorate, the second most populated governorate in Egypt. During the
upcoming 30 months, Siemens will be implementing an ADMS control center for the
West Alexandria region and a control center to supervise all distribution
control centers in Alexandria.
- The two companies intend to work together to close gaps in the standardization of inductive charging systems
- Plans include technical collaboration and joint interoperability tests
Siemens and MAHLE intend to collaborate in
the field of inductive charging of electric vehicles. Both companies have
signed a letter of intent to this effect. “Wireless charging of electric
vehicles is emerging as a major market for the future. In addition to making
life considerably easier for drivers, who no longer have to fiddle with cables
and connectors, it is a crucial requirement for the autonomous mobility of
tomorrow. The transfer efficiency of wireless, inductive charging is comparable
to plug-in systems,” said Stefan Perras, Head of Pre-development and Innovation
for Charging Infrastructure at Siemens AG.
- Smart Infrastructure completes acquisition of Brightly, a leader in
cloud-based asset and maintenance management software

completed the acquisition of Brightly Software, a leading U.S.-based software-as-a-service
(SaaS) provider of asset and maintenance management solutions. The acquisition elevates
SI to a leading position in the software market for buildings and built
infrastructure. It adds Brightly’s well-established cloud-based capabilities across
key sectors – education, public infrastructure, healthcare, and manufacturing –
to Siemens’ digital and software know-how in buildings. Brightly’s addition to
the Siemens portfolio accelerates the build-up of SI’s SaaS business, enabling
the companies to deliver superior performance and sustainability for built
infrastructure.
- RDG200 thermostat now equipped with a built-in CO2 sensor for monitoring and controlling indoor air quality
- Helps provide a healthy indoor climate and a safe place to work
- Achieves high energy efficiency and reduced energy costs
Siemens Smart Infrastructure’s RDG200 thermostat series now offers a model that is
natively equipped with a CO2
sensor and control functions. They allow the indoor air quality to be monitored
and adjusted to ensure a healthy and productive indoor air climate at all times
for people in the building, while maintaining efficient operation. When the air
quality deteriorates because the CO2 concentration rises, the ventilation system
is automatically adjusted and ensures that the right amount of fresh air is
provided to the space.
- California-based Esri, pioneer in geographic information system software
- Geodata combined with Siemens´ modeling and simulation software boosts creation of holistic digital twin of the grid for planning, simulation and real-time operations to accelerate the energy transition
- Complementary product partners are part of the Siemens Xcelerator ever-growing ecosystem of partners to accelerate digital transformation
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has partnered with Esri, the global leader
in geographic information systems (GIS) and location intelligence, to expand
its ecosystem of partners for its grid software business. The partnership
enhances capabilities for the planning, operations and maintenance of power
networks at grid operators by combining Esri’s powerful mapping and spatial
analytics software and Siemens’ electrical topology expertise. In doing so, the
companies aim to upgrade the data flow between applications for increased
planning accuracy and for better operations of the distribution grid. The
partnership´s objective is to improve the admission of Distributed Energy
Resources (DER) to the grid so that net zero can be achieved faster.
- Frame sizes 1,200 A, 1,600 A and 2,000 A
- Enhanced safety features
- Fully integrated communication and measurement features
- Smart features for planning and operation
Siemens has developed new, highly flexible
molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) frame sizes for high current applications to
perfectly address the needs of switchgear manufacturers and panel builders in
an environment, characterized by increasing complexity, digitalization, and
cost pressures. The new 3VA UL Large Frame MCCBs enable users to implement
powerful, safe, and smart systems while allowing them to improve and greatly
simplify their work processes. These 3VA UL Large Frame
MCCBs can be used worldwide. The 1,200 A and 1,600 A frame sizes meet the
