- Reliable protection with minimal space requirements
- For power distribution and industrial plants
Siemens Smart Infrastructure presents the new Siprotec 5 Compact device, specially designed to address the demands of industrial applications, infrastructure and distribution grids. With its compact size, large number of inputs and outputs, and universal range of functions, it can be configured to meet the specific requirements associated with protecting feeders and motors. As a space-saving universal device, it is ideally suited to help optimize investment and operating costs in power distribution.
- High transparency through integrated communication and measurement functionality
- Faster response to faults minimizes downtime
- Easy retrofitting of existing systems without additional space requirements
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched the new Sentron 3NA COM LV HRC fuse link with integrated communication and measurement functionality. The compact device is designed for 400 volts low-voltage grids and can be used in secondary substations and industrial plants. The LV HRC fuse link protects grids and plants against short circuits and overloads and is capable of measuring current. The collected data is sent wirelessly to the new 7KN Powercenter 1000 data transceiver where it can be retrieved. In addition, it can be transferred to local or cloud-based grid and energy management systems. Among other things, the data provides insight about the current network load, phase symmetry and any irregularities. This makes it possible to increase the supply security and optimize maintenance and service. Thanks to faster fault detection and location, the duration of power outages can be significantly reduced.
Fluorine gas-free energy distribution for medium-voltage applications
Fluorine gas-free switchgear is a hot topic in the energy sector because this new approach contributes to sustainable power distribution. On this page you will find all information about the sustainable switchgear portfolio from Siemens.
- Climate-neutral insulating medium “Clean Air” consists exclusively of components of ambient air
- Innovative load-break switch enables F-gas-free power distribution on the secondary distribution level, up to 24 kilovolts
- Same compact dimensions, consistent handling enable simple, future-proof transition to sustainable power distribution
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has introduced the 8DJH 24 switchgear, a ring main unit (RMU) for line voltages up to 24 kilovolts (kV), completely free of fluorinated gases. This medium-voltage switchgear for secondary electrical distribution has the same compact dimensions as the variant with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) but uses the climate-neutral insulation medium “Clean Air”, which consists exclusively of natural components from ambient air. The core of the unit is a three-position load-break switch with vacuum interrupter in the auxiliary path (blue switch). This new technological development from Siemens eliminates SF6 as an insulating medium, as well as any gas mixture based on fluorine (F-gases). As a result, the new switchgear also reduces the CO2 footprint of grid operators. Other benefits include easy and safe handling of the switchgear and effortless recycling at the end of its service life. In addition to the high level of environmental compatibility, digital applications make the new switchgear future-proof and cost-efficient for the grid of tomorrow. The new unit has been in use since fall 2020 in a local substation in the Oberallgäu region of Germany as part of a development cooperation with German distribution grid operator Netze BW.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure is delivering charging stations as well as a cloud-based software for charging infrastructure management to On in Italy. The solutions provide the basis for a new electric vehicle sharing service in the city of Rome developed by the Italian start-up. The first 23 charging stations have already been installed in the center of Rome; the rest will follow during the year.
- Integration of more devices for advanced building management
- Better user experience with improved Flex Client
- Enhanced cybersecurity with IEC62443-3-3 SL2 compliance
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has updated its Desigo CC smart building management platform to version V5.0, which marks the software’s opening for more systems and devices. The platform now offers improved connectivity and support for more integrations, such as EV charging stations. In addition, it provides new functions for easier and more flexible usability. Desigo CC V5.0 further strengthens the level of cybersecurity protection and enables a wide variety of buildings to become future-proof and easy to manage.
- Support reliable power supply for 965,000 citizens in Stockholm area
Ellevio, Sweden’s second largest grid company, has contracted Siemens Smart Infrastructure to deliver a new grid control system for its distribution network. The new grid control system based on Spectrum Power 7 will improve handling of increased network complexities, abnormalities, and security threats, whilst enabling improved ease and use for operators. Ellevio's control center in Karlstad is responsible for providing a reliable energy supply for 965,000 citizens in Sweden. The grid control is set up in a flexible multi-site operation with a main control center in Karlstad and a supporting control center in Stockholm for back-up.
- Arvato Financial Solutions’ European locations to be equipped with Siemens’ Comfy workplace intelligence platform
- Enables flexible working for employees, provides data insights on office utilization
- Rollout and commissioning by 2022
- Promotes employee experience and hybrid work models
Siemens Smart Infrastructure will roll-out its Comfy workplace intelligence platform at Arvato Financial Solutions’ 30 European offices. Arvato Financial Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Germany-based Bertelsmann, is a European Fintech company with 7,000 employees in 15 countries. The roll-out of the platform and app will begin immediately, starting with two of Arvato Financial Solutions’ main offices in Germany: Baden-Baden in the state of Baden-Württemberg and Verl in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. This will be followed by other locations in Germany and Scandinavia later this year. All other offices will be enabled with Comfy through the end of 2022. The Comfy platform will cover around 63,000 m

- Continuous monitoring of energy consumption in the terminal building and at the shore power connecting points
- IoT data platform enables data storage in MindSphere and easy remote access
- Systematic energy data management ensures efficient operations
The Port of Kiel commissioned Siemens Smart Infrastructure to implement a cloud-based power monitoring solution for its shore power system. The shore power system, also from Siemens, will cover the electricity demand of all ships at the Ostseekai and Schwedenkai with green power while they are berthed at the Port of Kiel. This saves more than 8,000 tons of CO2 per year. The new power monitoring solution makes it possible to measure the energy consumption in the shore power operations building and at the Ostseekai and Schwedenkai connecting points, and store the data in MindSphere, the cloud-based IoT system from Siemens. The operators have access to all relevant electrical values at any time and from anywhere, allowing them to determine consumption, identify faults, avoid downtimes, and plan maintenance routines better.
- Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Digital Charging Solutions have launched cooperation
- Jointly developed service offers corporate customers access to more than 190,000 public charging points in currently 21 European countries
- Simplified processes for fleet drivers and managers thanks to integrated billing
