- System based on Siemens Spectrum Power supports second-by-second control of all assets and integration of RWE wind and solar farms
- Improved combination of electricity generation from renewables and conventional fuel is a major milestone for the energy transition
RWE is making its power station control system fit for the future by adopting a new technology. Optime, a new SCADA system based on Siemens Spectrum Power, gives RWE a uniform control technology. SCADA stands for 'Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition' – in other words monitoring and managing technical processes using a computer system. Previously, there were two separate systems: one for power plants in Germany and another for the Netherlands and Belgium. The new solution combines the two, while integrating RWE’s renewable energy assets in Europe. It can also accommodate additional units such as battery storage systems and diesel-powered backup generators.

- NX offers unconstrained concept design sketching within the 3D environment to help increase productivity
- NX software, part of Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio, is a leading solution for building the most comprehensive digital twin
Siemens Digital Industries Software is announcing a new solution for capturing
concepts in 2D. The new NX™ Sketch software tool revolutionizes sketching
in CAD, which is an essential part of the design process. By changing the
underlying technology, users are now able to sketch without pre-defining
parameters, design intent and relationships. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to infer relationships on the fly, users can move away
from a paper hand sketch and truly create concept designs within NX™ software. This technology offers
significant flexibility in concept design sketching, and makes it easy to work
with imported data, allowing rapid design iteration on legacy data, and to work
with tens of thousands of curves within a single sketch. With these latest
enhancements to NX, Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio continues to bring together great technology, even within the core
of modelling techniques, helping remove the traditional barriers users have
experienced to dramatically improve productivity.
