- Siemens Large Drives Applications (LDA) to deliver a high voltage (HV) motor with 105 MW and a 40 MW starting frequency converter for an energy storage project in China
- The motor will have an efficiency of beyond 98 percent
Siemens LDA has received an order from a Chinese customer to deliver a special machine with dual shaft extension. It can be used in motor operation with a power of 105 MW and as generator with up to 129 MVA in power generation mode. The motor will have an efficiency of beyond 98 percent and will be a world-leading 2-pole electric motor.Beside the motor, the contract includes the delivery of a 40 MW Sinamics GL150 starting frequency converter. This LCI-converter (load commutated inverter) is designed for single-motor applications with variable and constant torque characteristics. As a result of the low switching losses and the low loss thyristor technology, the efficiency of the LCI converter is extremely high and lies at 99 percent.

This offering brings more information technology (IT) and software capabilities to automation and production operations, making industrial operations more adaptable. The Industrial Operations X portfolio is characterized by supporting an open ecosystem, being flexible with modular and scalable functions, and enabling interoperable, seamless, holistic production value chains.
- Predictive Service Analyzer provides information about anomalies in the drive system
- Increased plant availability by up to 30 percent through reduced production downtime
- AI-based algorithm for drive systems
As part of Predictive
Services for Drive Systems, Siemens is expanding its offering at the Hannover
Messe with an edge application. The Predictive Service Analyzer indicates
defects in the drive system at an early stage before they affect the entire
production. As a result, unplanned production downtime can be avoided and
maintenance times can be scheduled in good time, increasing plant availability
by up to 30 percent. By scheduling maintenance and servicing activities based
on actual demand, this increases productivity by up to 10 percent. The Predictive
Service Analyzer's AI-based solution detects early signs of anomalies, such as
those indicating mechanical damage in the motor, including bearing damage,
imbalance, and misalignment, as well as critical operating conditions of the
frequency converter. The app assesses the severity of the defect and the
expected remaining runtime and can thus predict potential future failures.
- Intuitive motion control enables a more flexible production and counteracts the shortage of skilled workers
- New Simatic Motion Interpreter software: Program motion sequences with no specialized knowledge
- New Sinamics drive generation completes Siemens’ comprehensive motion concept
Siemens is introducing the
latest version of the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) portal at the SPS
trade show in Nuremberg. With version 19 of the engineering framework, motion
control is easier than ever. It’s intuitive for non-experts and new users, and
this is crucial for industrial companies. To flexibly manage an ever-increasing
variety of products and cope with the shortage of skilled workers, more
processes need to be automated – and this means that machines and systems and
the resulting demands on motion control and automation technology are becoming
increasingly complex.
- Performance optimized, easy to use and future-proof servo drive system
- Flexible and compact – scalable depending on the application
- Easy engineering thanks to integration in TIA, integrated web server and one-button tuning function
With Sinamics S200, Siemens is launching a new servo drive system designed
for a variety of standard applications in the battery, electronics as well as other
industries. It consists of a precise servo drive, powerful servo motors and
easy-to-use cables and offers high dynamic performance. Applications that
require precision in speed and torque, such as winding and unwinding machines in
battery manufacturing and cell assembly, particularly benefit from the new
servo drive system. For this purpose, Sinamics S200 offers optimized speed
ripple, cogging torque compensation, 17/21-bit ST and 21-bit MT encoders, and
cycle-synchronous communication for optimized performance by
Profinet IRT in minimum 250us.

sustainable production and planning processes – all of this is achieved through
end-to-end automation and digitization to become a digital enterprise.
- Concept study demonstrates the integration of Sinamics frequency converters to the Siemens Industrial Edge platform
- High-frequency data exchange and complex analysis of the drive train possible
- Paving the way for new business models
At the Hannover Messe 2020, Siemens presents a
concept study that demonstrates the integration of a Sinamics drive system to
the Siemens Industrial Edge platform. In future, it will be possible to perform
high-frequency data exchange in drive technology using an Edge device. The integration
of Sinamics frequency converters to an Edge device enables users of machines
and applications to perform complex analyses of data that is already collected
in the drive. Machine learning algorithms identify patterns and detect anomalies
and their causes, providing early indications of necessary maintenance. This minimizes
downtimes and reduces the consumption of resources. For example, in intralogistics applications
the belt tension can be monitored for a storage and retrieval machine. The
belts, which are driven by a motor and frequency converter, require a specific
tension so that the application runs smoothly. If the visualization of the data
analyses shows irregularities in the drive system, then belt maintenance can be
triggered promptly, for example.
- Siemens and UL Solutions demonstrate a transformative shift from relying
solely on physical tests to reliable integrating digital simulations.
- Reduced costs, accelerated time-to-market and seamless integration of
digital modeling tools will redefine the future of verification.
- Siemens’ digital twin technology breaks through traditional testing
boundaries, serving as a testament to the industrial metaverse’s potential
for reshaping product development possibilities.
For the first time ever, an industrial product has been certified for the United States
after parts of the required tests were conducted through digital simulation. That
simulation was verified and validated with physical testing. This remarkable
achievement is a global first in a national safety-certification process. To make this
advance possible, Siemens collaborated with UL Solutions, an esteemed global
leader in applied safety science. The result is a testimony to the remarkable
accuracy and reliability of modern digital twin simulations. It marks a step forward
into a future in which digital twins and the industrial metaverse streamlines product
development, enhances innovation, safety and accelerates time-to-market.
