- Versatile solution for retrofit applications and new projects
- Maintenance-free vacuum technology with up to 10,000 CO operating cycles
- Manitoba Hydro to harness the power of new SF6-free generator circuit-breaker system
Siemens is expanding its generator circuit-breaker portfolio with a new
compact version - the HB1-Compact (HB1-C). The versatile and highly
customizable solution uses maintenance-free vacuum switching technology and
addresses the most challenging of constraints. Available in L-shape and I-shape
designs, the HB1-C can be mounted either vertically or horizontally and can be
adjusted to match existing busbar connection points. Additionally, the
generator circuit-breaker and its integrated main disconnector can be fitted
with earthing switches on the generator side and/or the transformer side for
greater flexibility.

- New Fire Safety Digital Services enable businesses to move from reactive to proactive fire safety
- First-in-market cloud-based portfolio goes beyond compliance, for total protection through intelligent safety
- Combines on-site and above-site services for automatic data capture, analysis and disturbance-free testing
Siemens has launched Fire Safety Digital
Services, a first-in-market portfolio of digital and managed services which
connects fire safety systems to the cloud, enabling businesses to move from a reactive,
compliance-led approach to total protection through intelligent safety. By
embracing digital services in operation, event-handling and maintenance,
customers can improve hazard identification and prevention, make better
risk-control decisions, protect business continuity, and provide a safe
environment for people and assets.
- American Electric Power chooses Siemens’ PSS®CAPE industry-leading software for highly detailed protection simulation
- Software interoperability allows AEP to seamlessly synchronize and exchange model data across planning, operations, and protection
- Accelerates energy transition by enabling sustainable integration of decentralized renewable energy resources to the grid
- Order underscores Siemens Xcelerator strategy for open, interoperable, flexible software to accelerate energy transition at scale
Siemens
will replace American Electric Power’s (AEP) existing
protection simulation operation software with PSS®CAPE. Ohio-based AEP,
the largest transmission grid operator in the U.S., serves 5.5 million
customers across 11 states and maintains the largest transmission network in
the country with over 40,000 miles of transmission lines. As grid planning and
operations becomes more complex, traditional, siloed manual practices for
sharing model data across departments are no longer optimal. AEP is creating a unified
digital model of its entire transmission network, called T-Nexus, consisting of
one common network model that all departments work
from to ensure reliable planning, operation, and protection of the power grid.
- Building X, the new smart building suite for net-zero buildings, will be a key highlight at Light + Building 2022
- New portfolio of digital services for fire safety and the latest version of Desigo CC, Siemens’ integrated building management system, will be shown for the first time
- Focus on reliable and energy-efficient electrical installation and power distribution, addressing grid complexity and integration of renewables
At this year’s Light + Building trade fair
in Frankfurt, Germany, Siemens will showcase its vision of digitalization as a
key pillar of the infrastructure transition required to tackle climate change
and global sustainability challenges. The company’s motto at the show is “Smart infrastructure is sustainable
infrastructure”, and Siemens will be demonstrating products, solutions and
services to make the transition of buildings and grids possible.
Almost 10 billion
people will live on our planet by 2050, most of them in urban areas. About 40
percent of all energy used globally is consumed in buildings, and another one
third by industries. But resources are finite.
Resilient, adaptive, and efficient infrastructure, enabled by digitalization,
is key to sustainability. Taking action to tackle climate change and other
global sustainability issues is an urgency. With buildings and electrification
increasingly growing together and becoming more and more digitalized, they can
support the sustainable infrastructure transition and create more livable
environments.
At the Light +
Building 2022 trade fair, Siemens will showcase its vision of digitalization as
the key pillar of the infrastructure transition. Our motto at the show is
“Smart infrastructure is sustainable infrastructure”, outlining our innovations
that will make this possible.
Visit us at Light + Building 2022 in Frankfurt am
Main, October 2 - 6, in hall 11.0, B56.
- Companies to work together to speed up energy transition
- Partnership to focus on green hydrogen projects at Shell and its customers
- Holland Hydrogen 1 project in Rotterdam key milestone in partnership to advance green hydrogen
Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Shell Global Solutions International BV have
signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on developing
low-carbon and highly efficient energy solutions that support the energy
transition. The agreement will focus on projects that produce green hydrogen
for industrial applications at Shell and its customers, as well as enhancing
collaboration in the areas of biofuels and circular chemistry. Under the MoU,
Siemens and Shell will create solutions that increase energy efficiency and
generate sustainable power, consisting of, but not limited to, digitalization,
efficient networks, and the production, distribution, and application of green
hydrogen. The partnership, inked with Siemens’ Electrification and Automation
business unit, has the potential to strengthen synergies for both parties. While
Siemens intends to work with Shell to accelerate the latter’s transition towards
net-zero operations, Shell seeks to supply Siemens and its affiliates with low
carbon products that reduce emissions across the supply chain, in Siemens’
operations, and in the use phase of Siemens products, consisting of but not
limited to supply of biofuels.
