- One single device for lines of up to 500 km
- Monitoring for powered, unpowered or grounded lines
- Highly precise localization of line faults
- Simplifies maintenance and increases network reliability
Siemens Smart Infrastructure recently launched its new PowerLink CM, a condition monitoring solution for high-voltage AC and DC transmission lines. To ensure reliable power supply, optimize grid utilization and prevent blackouts the device is designed to precisely locate faults in the transmission grid and continuously track line conditions. One single PowerLink CM device is sufficient to monitor line lengths of up to 500 km. Faults as well as line condition can be detected in powered, unpowered or grounded lines. Fault reports are received by the affected substation and are forwarded from there to the control room. For continuous line monitoring, the device can be connected to MindSphere, the open cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) platform from Siemens, which facilitates transparent processing of all line data in the cloud. This allows grid operators to analyze status reports and optimize maintenance activities.

- FIA and Siemens extend partnership to provide the ‘FIA Mobility Advocate’— a unique software and hardware toolkit — for FIA Mobility Member Clubs to strengthen advocacy of future transport solutions
As an
“Official Supplier of Urban Mobility Advocacy Solutions” for the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the governing body of world motor sport and
the federation of the world's leading motoring organisations, Siemens plans to
develop a toolkit of software solutions for FIA Member Clubs to help them
provide an evidence-based approach to advocate for the implementation of mobility
policies and strategies. The ‘FIA Mobility Advocate’ combines modeling for
mobility, autonomous vehicles, and the environment, with enhanced analysis
outputs to help meet current future mobility goals.
- Siemens and Hassan Allam Construction to build new control center located in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital
- Customer is Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company
- Latest software to monitor, manage and control extra-high voltage transmission networks and power generation plants across the country
- Contract worth more than EUR 45 Mio.
Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company has awarded a contract to the consortium consisting of Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Hassan Allam Construction to build the new National Energy Control Center in the New Administrative Capital of Egypt. The country’s new power grid control center will deploy advanced software and equipment to monitor, manage and control extra-high voltage (220 kV and 500 kV) transmission networks and power generation stations across Egypt. The necessary technologies will be included in the new control center for future grid expansion while maintaining secure energy supply, including intermittent renewable energy sources and storage. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.

- Charging technology for 37 new electric buses installed at West London depot
- Fully electric-enabled bus garage incorporates power infrastructure, maintenance and charging facilities
- Supplying 11 megawatt hours to 37 double-decker buses daily
In partnership with Tower Transit, a bus operator in London and part of
the SeaLink Travel Group, Siemens Smart Infrastructure provided the charging
infrastructure for 37 new fully-electric double decker buses in London.
Westbourne Park garage, on the Great Western Road, is the operator’s first
depot in London incorporating fully electric routes with power infrastructure,
maintenance and charging facilities. Bus routes 23 and C3 operate from the
Westbourne Park site, with the first few Optare Metrodecker zero-emission
double-deckers already in operation, the remaining fleet is expected to be in
service in the next months.
- Grid edge estimated to be crucial to tackle the energy transition
- Assessment of grid edge readiness and need for 36 countries worldwide
- Results provide valuable insights for governments and industries alike
In the effort to mitigate climate change, global energy markets are changing for good. Energy generation is increasingly relying on renewables, and formerly passive consumers are becoming active prosumers. For this energy turnaround to succeed, the grid edge – the interface between energy supply and energy demand – is more important than ever. Grid edge technologies are crucial to support the energy transformation. They encompass a wide range of technologies, from electric vehicles to heat pumps, solar panels, and smart meters to apps which allow remote control of appliances.
- TIA Selection Tool enables mechanical, electrical and automation planning on a single platform
- Complete standards know-how for electrical planning integrated in one software program
- Time-saving dimensioning of protection and switching devices, including essential design calculations
With “Control Panel Design” Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has integrated new electrical planning features into TIA
Selection Tool, the Siemens configuration and ordering software. This makes
electrical pre-planning completely digital. Now, electrical planners can design
and dimension the main electrical components of a machine quickly, easily, and
in accordance with IEC and UL standards. This reduces the required effort to
perform the task, minimizes potential error sources, and helps machine and
control panel builders improve their competitiveness. TIA Selection Tool is
designed to make it easy and convenient to configure and select all components
of industrial control panels. By integrating the new features, the tool allows
users to design electrical as well as mechanical and automation components
using one set of data and one platform. This lays the foundation for
significantly more efficient development processes, faster lead times, and
smarter electrification solutions for industrial environments.
