• 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.

• Extensive operating and control functions as a convenient interface to KNX systems
• Suitable for sophisticated multi-discipline applications such as colored light control and access control
• Clear, intuitive direct operation via membrane keypad and with LED status display

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has added two new variants of KNX binary inputs to its portfolio of DIN-rail mounted devices: The new binary inputs N 262 and N 263 offer easy installation and intuitive operation and are available as potential-free and voltage-loaded versions in widths of 4 MU (4 binary inputs) and 8 MU (8 binary inputs).

• 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. 

• Morocco’s National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) launches an ambitious transformation project in collaboration with Atos and Siemens

Atos, Siemens and Morocco’s National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (Office National de l'Électricité et de l'Eau potable, ONEE) are pleased to announce their collaboration on a large project for the smart management of the local power grid (“smart grid”).
