- Viking Link ensures increased security of supply and integration of renewable energy
- Siemens to deliver both HVDC converter stations
Siemens has been awarded a contract to deliver two converter stations for the first high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) link between Great Britain and Denmark. Viking Link will enable the exchange of electricity up to 1,400 megawatts (MW) to provide increased power-supply reliability and security to consumers in both countries. By allowing transmission to flow in both directions, Viking Link will support the integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid. The interconnector is being jointly developed by National Grid Ventures (Great Britain) and Energinet (Denmark) via National Grid Viking Link Ltd. and Energinet Eltransmission A/S.

- 34 six-car Type X metro trainsets, suitable for
fully automatic operation and operation with driver
- Deliveries to begin in mid-2020 with a pre-series
train
- 24-year maintenance contract ensures
sustainable value creation over the entire lifecycle
The first painted car
body for the new Vienna metro was presented today together with the public
transport operator Wiener Linien at the Siemens Mobility plant in the Austrian
capital. The trains are the city's third metro generation supplied by Siemens and

Linien also secured an option for an additional eleven trains. The trains are
designed for fully automatic operation as well as operation with a driver.
Plans call for them to be used fully automatically on the city's new Line U5,
which is currently under construction, and with drivers on Wiener Linien's
Lines U1 to U4.
- Increased power density and user-friendliness through easy handling
- Plug and play installation and rapid replacement of individual modules
- Increase in redundancy and degradation rates for fuel cell plants
Building on the success of the previous BZM34 and BZM120 fuel cell modules, Siemens aims to optimize the power density and user-friendliness of fuel cell plants on board of air-independent underwater vehicles with its new BZM evo fuel cell module. A single BZM evo has a nominal power of 40 kW. Future plants will be able to provide a maximum power of 320 – 480 kW, depending on the selected type of installation and number of fuel cell modules, without exceeding the footprint of an existing BZM34 or BZM120 plant.
