- Flexible addition of features via software protects investments
- New protection technologies prevent failures with distributed power supply
- Seamless integration in digital environments
With the new 3WA series, Siemens Smart Infrastructure is updating its Sentron portfolio of air circuit breakers. As a core element of low-voltage switchboards, they reliably protect electrical installations in buildings, infrastructures and industrial facilities from damage caused by short circuits, ground faults or overload faults. At the same time, the new 3WA circuit breakers meet all low-voltage power distribution requirements in digital environments. They support software-based planning and engineering, digital testing and monitoring, and seamless integration in automation and IoT systems. For the first time, upgrades can be completed 100 percent digitally. Users simply download new features from the Internet and add them using an app.

- Stock-exchange listing completes spin-off
of Siemens Energy AG
- Transaction shall create long-term
value for shareholders of both companies
- New Siemens AG to have clear focus on
shaping digital transformation of industry
Siemens has completed its structural realignment and thus successfully
executed a key part of its Vision 2020+ strategy concept. This morning’s
listing in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange completed
the quotation of Siemens Energy as a leader in the transmission and generation
of electrical power. This step begins a new chapter in the company’s history.
The independent Siemens companies Siemens AG, Siemens Healthineers AG and Siemens
Energy AG will work together within an ecosystem of common interests. In each
case, however, they will focus on the priorities and characteristics of their specific
businesses and industries. With some 240,000 employees, Siemens AG will
primarily concentrate on technologies that are driving advances in the digital
transformation of industry, in smart infrastructure and in sustainable transportation.
- Hydrogen production solely from renewable energy
- Exclusive hydrogen source for northern Bavaria and the border region in Czech Republic
- Cross-sector use of renewable energy as a model for the future
Siemens Smart Infrastructure and WUN H2 GmbH
signed a contract to build one of the largest hydrogen production plants in
Germany. It will be built in Wunsiedel in the north of Bavaria. With a power
intake of six megawatts in the initial development phase, the plant will run
solely on renewable energy and will be CO2-free. The electrolysis
plant from Siemens Energy will have the capacity to produce over 900 tons of
hydrogen per year in this first phase. When fully expanded, it will be able to
supply up to 2,000 tons. Groundbreaking is scheduled for the end of this year
and commissioning at the end of 2021.
- Built-in sensors, control functions, input/output and flexible power supply in one device
- Open KNX communication for integration from simple to advanced building management systems
- New slim and smooth design with touch buttons and rotary knob
- Fast installation and commissioning with the new ‘PCT Go’ app
Siemens Smart Infrastructure (SI) is
launching its new RDG200 thermostat range for a healthy and productive indoor
climate. Room automation is key for protecting and enhancing the occupants'
health as well as increasing productivity at the same time for a safe return to
work. The new range follows this approach and includes two digital thermostat
variants for temperature and humidity control as well as advanced KNX
communication between sensors and actuators to Siemens’ building management
systems such as Desigo and Synco. This ensures good air quality with peace in
mind to have indoor climate under control. Designed for most commercial
buildings, including hotels, offices and educational buildings, the new RDG200
thermostats support all conceivable energy-saving strategies in rooms for more
cost-efficiency, including occupancy-based
savings via presence detection, key-card reader or system time program as well
as different setpoint limitations. With their modern design and the one-touch
Green Leaf button, the new thermostats display the energy efficiency status and
puts the user in charge of energy savings.
- Siemens Energy Corporate Center in Berlin
- Joint location and structural concept planned with the State of Berlin
- Company's administrative
headquarters remain in Bavaria
Siemens Energy, as a stand-alone company,
will locate its Corporate Center in Berlin. The energy technology company with
worldwide 91,000 employees, which in 2019 generated revenue of €28.8 billion,
is thus returning to its roots: Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske
founded their company in Berlin in 1847 and with the discovery of the
electrodynamic principle in 1866 laid a foundation for today's Siemens Group
and therefore today's Siemens Energy.
- SF6-free high-voltage switchgear and ester-filled transformer complete demo project, delivering an integrated clean energy solution for China
- First implementation of Siemens Energy’s 66 kV technologies for wind turbine applications in China
Siemens Energy commissioned an eco-friendly power transmission system complementing one of China’s largest offshore eight-megawatt (MW) wind turbines. The system consists of a SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride)-free gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear (GIS) called 8VM1 Blue GIS® and a liquid-immersed distribution transformer with ester fluid. It is part of a demo project by Shanghai Electric, located at Shantou Haojiang onshore Industrial Park on the east coast of Guangdong, South China.
- Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) signaling system to be installed on 24km of elevated Jurong Region Line in Singapore
- Half-height Platform Screen Doors to be installed at 24 stations throughout line
- The intelligent infrastructure will provide greater availability, enhanced operations, and will improve passenger experience
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract of approximately 135 million Euros by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) to install an automatic train control signaling system and half-height platform screen doors on the Jurong Region Line (JRL). Siemens Mobility will utilize its Trainguard Sirius solution and modern interlocking product Westrace to implement a Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) signaling system across the entire 24 kilometers of track. In addition, Siemens Mobility will install platform screen doors at the 24 stations being built, which will support the GoA 4 automation of the line and allow for full unattended/automatic train operation. The project has been designed by an international team of Siemens Mobility in Singapore and Spain.
