- Joint training against cyberattacks key in protecting digital grids
- Valuable insights on attacks and vulnerabilities enable innovative solutions and safer products
Siemens Smart Infrastructure and the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to continue the cooperation on cybersecurity for critical infrastructure. The CCDCOE organized annual high-level cyber defence exercise Locked Shields exercise provides a key pillar to jointly build up defence capabilities. With the new agreement, the parties advance their existing cooperation on cyber security training for power grids. In experimenting with grid control software Spectrum Power, Siemens gains valuable insights on the potential attack vectors and can thoroughly test new security features or protocols for its products and solutions.

- Siemens Energy launches "Future of Storage" initiative to
promote sustainable energy systems
- Ecosystem of technology partners for energy storage solutions
created
- Long-term cooperation with Norwegian EnergyNest on thermal energy
storage
Siemens Energy has launched the "Future
of Storage" initiative. The aim of the initiative is to bundle knowledge
and build an ecosystem of technology partners in order to offer energy storage
solutions tailored to customers' needs. Decarbonizing the world's energy
systems is one of the key goals of Siemens Energy. An essential component of
climate-friendly energy systems of the future will be efficient energy storage
systems - they compensate for the fluctuating feed-in of renewable energies and
stabilize the grids, making them a key driver of decarbonization.
- 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.
- Acquisition expands Xcelerator portfolio and creates data-driven product lifecycle management solutions for system-on-chip (SoC)
- Integration of cybersecurity, functional safety, and the management of complexity can enhance product quality, safety, and time-to-revenue across industries ranging from automotive and factory automation to high-performance computing
Siemens has signed an agreement to acquire Cambridge,
UK-based UltraSoC Technologies Ltd., a provider of instrumentation and
analytics solutions that put intelligent monitoring, cybersecurity and
functional safety capabilities into the core hardware of system-on-chip (SoC).
Siemens plans to integrate UltraSoC’s technology into the Xcelerator portfolio as part
of Mentor’s Tessent™ software product suite. The addition of UltraSoC to Siemens enables a
unified data-driven infrastructure that can enhance product quality, safety and
cybersecurity, and the creation of a comprehensive solution to help semiconductor
industry customers overcome key pain points including manufacturing defects, software and hardware
bugs, device early-failure and wear-out, functional safety, and malicious
attacks.
- Collaboration will support businesses’ safe return to work and build smart, connected workplaces for the future
- Joint solutions, built on technology from Siemens and Salesforce, include a ‘touchless office’ and advanced contact tracing
Today, Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) and Siemens announced a strategic partnership to develop a new workplace technology suite that will support businesses globally to safely reopen and deliver the future experience for physical workplaces. The partnership will combine Salesforce’s Work.com, powered by Customer 360, and Siemens’ Smart Infrastructure solutions, including Comfy and Enlighted, to orchestrate the processes, people and things that are essential to creating safe, connected workplaces for the future.
- Siemens will upgrade control and protection system of Moyle Interconnector
- Refurbishment increases security of supply, improves integration of renewable energy and enhances provision of ancillary services
Siemens Gas and Power (Siemens Energy) has been awarded the project to refurbish the Moyle Interconnector, a high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) link between Ballycronan More in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, and Auchencrosh, Scotland. Owned and operated by Mutual Energy, the Moyle Interconnector control and protection system is almost 20 years old and is being modernized to enhance its operation. The refurbishment of the 500-megawatt interconnector will increase the security and reliability of the power supply to consumers in the United Kingdom. The project to upgrade the technology originally installed by Siemens in 2001 is now underway and the refurbishment is scheduled to be completed in September 2022.
- Charging technology for 39 parking spaces at innovative eBus depot of VAG
- Parallel charging of 20 buses with up to 150 kilowatts
- Medium-voltage connection for supply with 100 percent green electricity
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has received a contract from Verkehrs- Aktiengesellschaft Nürnberg (VAG) to equip its new “eBus port” with a medium- voltage connection and charging infrastructure. With 39 parking spaces, it will be one of the largest electric bus depots in Germany. Located on the VAG premises in the Nuremberg suburb of Schweinau, it will be supplied solely with green electricity. Construction has already started, and operations are scheduled to start in 2021.
