- Westnetz GmbH expands Bekond substation with SF6-free 24 kV panel
- Climate-neutral insulation gas Clean Air to substitute fluorine gases
- User-friendly compatibility between existing plant and latest environmentally friendly technology from blue GIS portfolio
In cooperation with Siemens Smart Infrastructure, E.ON
subsidiary Westnetz, one of Germany's largest distribution grid operators, has expanded
its Bekond substation in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate with a fluorine
gas-free NXPLUS C 24 circuit-breaker panel. It is the
first panel of its type in the world to go into operation using Clean Air, the
climate-neutral insulation gas. This installation demonstrates the
functionality of fluorine gas-free solutions in grid operations and shows an
easy way to extend existing technology with the latest environmentally
friendly technology.
- Company to provide EnergyIP meter data management system for 1.2 million smart meters
- 10-year contract includes service and maintenance
- Software to help reduce electricity consumption by up to 6 percent, power loss by more than 10 percent
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure and its partners, Sagemcom and Bitė Lietuva, are participating
in the rollout of 1.2 million smart meters across Lithuania. Siemens will
provide Lithuanian distribution system operator ESO with the EnergyIP meter
data management system as well as service and maintenance for 10 years.
Sagemcom is supplying the 1.2 million smart meters and the Siconia head-end
system, which reads the data generated by the meters. Bitė Lietuva, a telecommunications
provider in Lithuania, is the partner for communication technology. The new
smart meter infrastructure enables ESO to reduce electricity consumption by up
to 6 percent, cut power losses in the overall supply network by over 10
percent, and lead to higher energy efficiency in the overall operations.
- Medium-voltage switchgear at Münichtal substation uses clean air technology
- Innovative insulating medium consists of components from ambient air
- Fluorine gas-free power distribution solution enhances sustainability of Energie Steiermark Group
The Münichtal substation of Energie Steiermark Group in
Austria now has a sustainable medium-voltage switchgear from Siemens. The power
distribution system has been in operation since the end of 2020 and has just
been officially handed over to the customer after a trial period. This is the
first installation of fluorine-gas free switchgear from Siemens’
climate-friendly blue portfolio at a customer site in Austria.
- Acquisition of French startup Wattsense expands Siemens’ building
automation offering for small and mid-size buildings

- The Dubai Expo site, with infrastructure connected by Siemens digital technology, provides a template for smart cities globally
-
- Siemens designed a web-based smart city app for site managers to optimize efficiency, save energy, curb emissions and enhance safety
-
- Siemens guests at Expo can immerse themselves in an interactive experience about digitalization of infrastructure, manufacturing and transportation
Expo 2020 Dubai has opened to the world, with Siemens providing technology to ensure the site’s buildings and other infrastructure become part of a lasting legacy.
- Up to 37% energy savings for cooling and ventilation
- Adaptive Flow Optimizer and continuous self-optimization
- Self-test reports for easy documentation of settings data
The Intelligent Valve from Siemens Smart Infrastructure, a self-optimizing, dynamic valve with cloud connection, now has an Adaptive Flow Optimizer, which is unique on the market. This technology, as well as new features such as automatic presetting, continuous optimization of the delta T limitation (T) and system-generated reports, make it possible to achieve cost and energy savings while maintaining comfort for the building occupants. For the first time, actions are autonomously evaluated and executed by the Intelligent Valve and communicated to the building operator.
- New brewery building equipped with Siemens power distribution technology for medium
and low voltage
- Innovative fluorine gas-free medium-voltage switchgear contributes to greater sustainability
- Digitalized low-voltage technology increases safety, efficiency and
economy in operation
C. & A. Veltins, one of Germany’s
largest breweries, has set itself the goal of becoming one of the most modern
and sustainable breweries in Germany by the time it celebrates its 200th
anniversary in 2024. Siemens Smart Infrastructure is supplying technology to
ensure the sustainable energy supply of a new building at the company's
headquarters in the town of Grevenstein in the Sauerland region, where a new
bottling plant will go into operation in 2022. The centerpiece is the new 8DJH
12 blue GIS fluorine gas-free medium-voltage switchgear. It completely
eliminates the greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as well as other
fluorine gases. Instead, the switchgear uses the climate-neutral Clean Air
insulation gas, which consists exclusively of natural components of the ambient
air. The system is supplemented by low-voltage technology with digital
measurement and communication functions for safe and efficient power
distribution.
The University of
Birmingham, in partnership with Siemens, is combining digital sensor and
analytics technologies, artificial intelligence, decentralized energy
generation and storage, renewable energy and concepts that help change users’
behaviour to transform the university’s Edgbaston and Dubai campuses into the
world’s smartest global campus, creating a ‘Living Lab’ where research,
teaching and learning all benefit from access to new data and
connectivity.
