- “H2goesRail” joint project developing a completely new overall hydrogen system for rail
- First roll-out of the Mireo Plus H hydrogen train from Siemens Mobility and the hydrogen storage tank trailer for fast mobile refueling by Deutsche Bahn
- “H2goesRail” project an important step for exiting from diesel and advancing climate-friendly transportation transition
Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Siemens Mobility are continuing to drive the climate-friendly transportation transition in rail. The two partners premiered elements of their innovative complete system at the Siemens plant in Krefeld: The newly developed Mireo Plus H, the next-generation hydrogen-powered train, and a newly designed mobile hydrogen storage trailer. The train and its new infrastructure are intended to replace diesel multiple-unit trains in commuter and regional transport and reduce rail-related CO2 emissions to zero.
- Open, interoperable software suite ensures grid stability and economic efficiency, manages rising complexity of power grids
- Software speeds up grid simulations up to 6 times and increases efficiency in grid management tasks by 85 percent
- Holistic digital twin of the grid throughout planning, simulation and real-time operation of power grids
- Launch of customer co-innovation collaboration to guide product roadmaps for net zero world
In an
industry first, Siemens Smart Infrastructure announced an open, modular suite
of grid software to address the increasingly critical energy transition. The suite
is a game changer for established energy players and new stakeholders alike,
enabling them to be fast, agile and flexible when coping with existing and
future challenges. Siemens has already made significant steps to improve its offering
for smart meter data management such as a cloud native option or improved task efficiency by up to 85
percent by redefining the user experience. Siemens’ software also
enables customers to run grid protection simulations up to six times faster
than the current speed of execution, supporting utilities to better plan,
operate and maintain power networks. All upcoming modules of the software suite
from Siemens will be developed following specific design principles to interact
seamlessly and enable agility. At the same time, they will keep the power grid
cyber resilient while also creating a digital twin of the grid throughout
planning, simulation, real-time operations and maintenance of power grids.
- Siemens Mobility to provide seven Mireo Plus B trains to Midtjyske Jernbaner in Denmark
- An innovative and energy-efficient hybrid battery powered platform that can operate with or without overhead lines
Siemens Mobility has been awarded a contract to supply seven battery powered Mireo Plus B trains to the Midtjyske Jernbaner in Denmark. This is the first contract for battery powered rail in Denmark and is part of a pilot project to replace all diesel trainsets throughout the country. The Mireo Plus B combines all the benefits of the Mireo platform with a high-performance battery system that enables trains to operate on routes with or without overhead power lines thanks to their battery hybrid drive. The seven two-car electric trainsets will be delivered by the end of 2024 and are scheduled to operate on two lines in the Midtjylland region of Denmark.
- Siemens installs its fluorine gas-free, medium-voltage switchgear NXPLUS C 24 blue GIS at Iberdrola
- Climate-friendly insulating gas Clean Air with a global warming potential <1 consists exclusively of natural components of ambient air
- The power distribution solution enhances sustainability and climate protection for Spanish utility
Headquartered in the Spanish city of Bilbao, Iberdrola, one
of the world’s largest electric utilities and the world's largest wind power
producer, aims to become carbon neutral across Europe by 2030. To achieve this
goal, it is systematically implementing its environmentally-friendly and
sustainable business model. To this end, Siemens Smart Infrastructure has been
commissioned by i-DE Redes Eléctricas Inteligentes SAU, the company responsible
for power distribution activities within the Iberdrola Group, to supply its sustainable
medium-voltage switchgear to the northern Spanish province of Burgos. This marks
the first installation of fluorine gas-free switchgear from Siemens’
climate-friendly blue portfolio at a customer site in Spain.
Stadtwerke München (SWM) is
continuing its modernization of the Munich Transport Company’s (MVG) metro
fleet. On Wednesday, April 27, 2022, SWM and MVG took delivery of the first of
a total of 22 type C2 metro trains of the third delivery series (the so-called
2nd option) at SWM’s technical base in Fröttmaning near Munich. There, the
train will now be made ready for operation, undergo extensive tests and be
approved for passenger service.
- Siemens’ trade show motto: “Intelligent intralogistics - experience the flow”
- Digitalization in intralogistics as a decisive competitive advantage
- Highlight: Trade show model of a Dynamic Gapper application demonstrates the benefits possible by connecting the real and digital worlds
Under the motto
"Intelligent intralogistics - experience the flow", Siemens will
present at this year's Logimat in Hall 3, Booth D11, how a comprehensive
digital twin is developed with the Digital Enterprise Portfolio. Simulation based
on a digital twin makes it possible to design applications and processes in
intralogistics in a highly efficient, flexible and intelligent way. Considering
the fact that markets and requirements have changed in the past two years and
the intralogistics industry has to cope with a rapidly growing e-commerce, this
contributes to sustainable competitiveness. Here, increasing inventory turnover
rates with shorter storage periods, small order quantities with high delivery
speeds, rising return rates and short-term increases in delivery quantities
require flexible and scalable intralogistics processes. The new requirements
can be managed with the help of digitalization and automation.
- EWE NETZ installs fluorine gas-free blue GIS medium-voltage switchgear from Siemens in Brake, Germany
- Investment in climate protection and supply security in the region
- Climate-friendly insulation gas “Clean Air” replaces fluorine gas
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has supplied EWE NETZ GmbH, which operates highly-efficient power
grids in Germany, with its latest environmentally-friendly switchgear
technology. EWE NETZ has now completed a new medium-voltage switchgear
installation in Brake in the Wesermarsch region of Lower Saxony, which includes
seven fluorine gas-free NXPLUS C 24 circuit-breaker panels from Siemens’ green blue
GIS portfolio. This makes EWE NETZ one of the first grid operators in Germany
to switch to the climate-friendly insulation gas Clean Air for an entire
medium-voltage switchgear installation.
