- Requirements-based function expansions for protection devices
designed for use in utilities, industrial plants or infrastructures
- License file easily created in seconds
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched a
new application for the Siprotec 5 and Siprotec 5 Compact series of protection
devices: In just a few seconds, customers can now generate new license files
for their protection device using a cloud-based app. This allows new device
functions to be enabled very quickly. These functions are added depending on
the type of application of the device, for instance to protect lines and motors
in the distribution network of utilities or industrial plants. Until
now, the ordering process for a license file took almost week.
- Meter Data
Management System enables timely and accurate collection of electricity meter
data digitally
- Technology
deployed for over 200,000 smart meters in North Delhi
- The
implementation of Advanced Metering Infrastructure will play a key role in the
deployment of smart grids across the country
Siemens Limited and Tata Power
Delhi Distribution Limited (Tata Power-DDL) jointly announced the successful
deployment of Smart Metering Technology for over 200,000 Smart Meters in North
Delhi. The state-of-the-art EnergyIP Meter Data Management System installed and
commissioned by Siemens enables timely and accurate collection of electricity
meter data leading to increased visibility of the consumer network and
reduction in carbon emissions. The Advanced Metering Infrastructure
(AMI) program is one of Tata Power-DDL’s
key strategic initiatives for the modernization of the grid.
- Each level of the S-building is ventilated using a separate HVAC
system to ensure 100% fresh air
- This system helps the hospital to comply with more stringent energy
standards and ventilation requirements
- Lighting, air conditioning and access control are managed from a
single user-friendly interface using the Desigo CC system
- Technology ecosystem and energy equipment to provide optimum support
for healthcare personnel
Siemens has finished installing a
leading-edge HVAC system in the new S-building which has extended the A.S.Z.
(general city hospital) campus in Aalst, Belgium. The building technology
experts have also supplied the CCTV and access control systems. All air
conditioning, ventilation and security functions have been brought together in
the Siemens management system, Desigo CC. This makes it much easier to operate
for both healthcare personnel and patients, thereby providing more comfortable
rooms and reducing energy consumption at the same time. Siemens is therefore
helping the A.S.Z. in Aalst to meet the Belgian Supreme Council of Health's
increasingly stringent requirements and standards for energy efficiency in
buildings.
- Environmentally-friendly
and sustainable portfolio
- New Siemens ADVtechnology ensures more efficient design process with
multi-use components
- Support throughout the entire fire safety system lifecycle thanks to
extensive Siemens expertise and access to digital tools
Siemens Smart Infrastructure introduces its
new natural agent extinguishing portfolio, Sinorix NXN. Focusing on the
protection of lives, assets and business continuity, the new fire extinguishing
portfolio combines simplicity with advanced technology to modernize traditional
fire safety. The agents consist of the natural gases argon, nitrogen and carbon
dioxide. They are ideal for specific application areas such as storage rooms
for chemicals (argon), critical electrical infrastructure (nitrogen) or
unmanned areas (carbon dioxide). The new Sinorix NXN portfolio uses only agents
and compounds that are naturally found in our atmosphere and do not harm the environment. It also has a reduced
ecological footprint, thanks to its compact and versatile product design.
- Letter of intent signed for the construction of one of Europe’s largest energy storage facilities in Wunsiedel, Germany
- Zukunftsenergie Nordostbayern GmbH aims to store locally-generated electricity from renewable energy and reduce CO2 emissions
- Siemens to supply 100 megawatt turnkey plant
- Partners to examine implementation, develop suitable financing concept
Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Zukunftsenergie Nordostbayern GmbH (ZENOB) signed a letter of intent in Wunsiedel for the turnkey construction of a 100 megawatt battery storage facility in the German town. The plant, with a storage capacity of 200 megawatt hours, is intended to use surplus renewable energy and cover demand peaks in the power grid. The 5,000 square meter energy storage facility is capable of supplying 20,000 average households with electricity. The lithium-ion battery storage system will be provided by Fluence, a joint venture between Siemens and AES. Siemens will handle project management, including a technical implementation concept, as well as the construction of a medium-voltage switchgear system and connection to the high-voltage grid. Among other things, the letter of intent also includes the development of a financing concept.
- Charging infrastructure for 14 new electric buses
- Fast charging units at three terminal stations
- Charging infrastructure and digital depot management solution at the bus depot
Siemens has been awarded a contract by Bernmobil, the Swiss capital’s public transport company, to supply charging infrastructure solutions for the operation of 14 new electric buses. These are to be deployed on Lines 19 and 21 beginning in early 2023. The project includes fast charging units at three terminal stations as well as charging infrastructure for the Eigerplatz bus depot. To optimize operations, a cloud-based depot management solution from Siemens will be used as software-as-a-service.

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 CO
2 savings of up to 13,500
annually.

- Alpentherme boosts energy efficiency and climate neutrality
-
- Annual cost savings of more than €80,000 through comprehensive modernization efforts
In cooperation with Siemens Smart Infrastructure, Alpentherme Gastein is undertaking various modernization efforts to make one of Austria’s largest spas emissions-free. Alpentherme Gastein, which has six themed “worlds” covering 36,000 square meters, and Siemens have been long-term partners working to advance technological development and improve building solutions installed at the wellness establishment. They recently completed a joint project with an investment of approximately €1.7 million, transforming Alpentherme Gastein into a state-of-the-art facility with higher levels of energy efficiency and climate neutrality. Among other things, the upgrades consisted of adapting the entire hydronic heating system and swimming pool ventilation, including enlarging the heating registers. Adapting the system hydronics allows a large share of the required thermal energy to be generated by means of low-temperature heat pumps. This makes it possible to use recovered thermal energy sources and reduce energy generation costs. As a result, Alpentherme has cut its annual costs by approximately €82,000 while reducing carbon emissions by almost 370 tons per year.
