• Higher light comfort due to energy-saving switching and dimming of up to 20 DALI ECGs per channel in broadcast mode
• Personalized control with “tunable white” for Human Centric Lighting (HCL)
• Easy installation, low maintenance expenses and energy efficient switching and dimming

Siemens Smart Infrastructure is launching its new KNX switch and dim actuator N 525D11, 2x DALI Broadcast. The rail-mounted device for installation in distribution boards has two Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) outputs. Thanks to a control performance of up to 20 DALI electrical ballasts (ECG) per DALI output, the new actuator offers energy efficiency and low commissioning costs during broadcast mode where all connected ECG, for example lamps, are controlled simultaneously. The new device has a wide range of functions to increase comfort for room users, such as color temperature control and configurable dimming curves. In addition, the actuator is able to store light scenes, send status or error messages, and provide switching cycles as well as an operating hour counter. The new device offers the best conditions for optimum lighting ratios in the room. In combination with presence detectors, which control brightness fully automatically, a simultaneous control of brightness and color temperature can be achieved.

• Reduced amount of copper lowers material costs
• Smart ventilation system ensures optimal heat dissipation
• Digital engineering and new system concept shorten project lead times for switchgear manufacturers

Siemens Smart Infrastructure introduces the Alpha 3200 Eco power distribution board. Thanks to a new system, it requires one-third less copper. The new power distribution board features a main busbar in the middle of the board instead of at the top or the bottom, allowing devices to be attached directly. Previously, additional connection rails made of copper were needed. This new design significantly reduces material costs and installation efforts. It also allows for more flexible installation of the associated Alpha assembly kits with protection, switching and measuring devices. Overall, this results in more room for valuable functions, such as collecting energy data and switching states, as well as for connecting the power distribution board to digital building management systems. A new ventilation system with two cooling circuits provides for optimal heat dissipation and energy yield.

Market research firm Navigant Research has recently ranked Siemens Smart Infrastructure as a leading provider of distributed energy resources management systems (DERMS). The “Navigant Research Leaderboard: DERMS Vendors” report assessed the strategy and execution of 16 vendors for distributed energy resources and grid management.

• Real-time analytics to create dynamic workplaces
• Designed to improve employee productivity and operational efficiency 
• Data-driven insights on space utilization to optimize real estate assets 
• To be shown at Light & Building trade fair in Germany, Frankfurt a.M. (March 8-13, 2020)

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched a smart building suite designed to create more efficient and flexible workplaces where people are at the core. The suite of IoT (Internet of Things) enabled devices, applications and services turn offices into a competitive advantage for companies. Employees are empowered with greater choice and control in the workplace, including picking their own optimal temperature setting, pleasant lighting conditions and find available rooms for their spontaneous meetings. The suite consists of complementary Siemens technologies and allows building management systems to respond intelligently to user input and environmental data. Now, workspaces can adapt to employees’ needs with real-time analytics continuously learning from user input and picking up behavioral patterns. At the same time, powerful data analytics give insights into how the spaces are being used to make better decisions around space optimization and real estate portfolio management. 

• For the first time, new electrical installation devices combine protection and measurement functions in a single unit
• The latest energy monitoring software can now be fully integrated into the Desigo CC building management system
• New Sentron “powermind” app allows cloud-based energy data analysis 

At this year’s Light+Building trade show, Siemens Smart Infrastructure will show the first energy management solution that holistically captures energy data in buildings. It collects data all the way to the final circuit without any additional wiring or space requirements. All electrical data – from the power feed-in to the socket outlet – can then be seamlessly integrated into building management systems and analyzed by cloud-based applications. This makes the electrical infrastructure an integral part of smart buildings that are connected via the Internet of Things (IoT). Operators and users gain maximum transparency over their energy flows and benefit from end-to-end digitalization.

• Enhanced reliability and efficiency through easier energy monitoring without data cables
• Suitable for the transmission of more than double the electricity of comparable systems 
• Modular design for flexible planning and cost-effective expansion

At this year’s Light+Building, Siemens Smart Infrastructure is introducing LData, a busbar trunking system specially designed for data centers wanting to improve their efficiency, availability and adaptability. The more internet traffic, mobile users as well as Internet of Things connections increase, the more data has to be processed. That is why high-performance data centers are emerging as the backbone of a digital society. These data centers must offer the highest degree of availability to protect critical data as well as business-critical applications and industrial processes. At the same time, they must be energy efficient as well as easy to plan, install and expand. The energy distribution system plays a major role in this regard. 

• Potential reduction of more than 8,000 tons of CO2 annually
• Emissions and noise while berthed can be significantly reduced
• Sustainable solution contributes to climate protection
• 16-megavolt ampere shore power system to supply two ships simultaneously with certified eco-power 

The Port of Kiel commissioned Siemens to build Germany’s largest shore power system to date. With a power of 16 megavolt amperes (MVA), the Siharbor solution will supply two ships simultaneously with certified eco-power, for the first time. This will reduce annual CO2 emissions by more than 8,000 tons. The system is expected to go into test operation within the 2020 cruise ship season. Maritime shipping plays a special role in Kiel. The port is the point of departure for cruises and has ferry connections to the Baltic states and Scandinavia. 32 different cruise ships stopped in 174 times at the port facilities in 2018.

At this year’s Light+Building trade fair, Siemens will showcase its vision for transforming today’s passive buildings into learning and adaptive environments that intelligently interact with people. The company’s focus at this year’s show is “Building the future today”, outlining the innovations that will make this possible. These include cloud-based technologies, digital planning, occupant-centric building automation and services. New solutions for smart electrical infrastructure that seamlessly connects to the Internet of Things (IoT) are also at the core of this transformation.
