Veltins Brewery chooses sustainable electrification solution from Siemens
New brewery building equipped with Siemens power distribution technology for medium
and low voltage
Innovative fluorine gas-free medium-voltage switchgear contributes to greater sustainability
Digitalized low-voltage technology increases safety, efficiency and
economy in operation
C. & A. Veltins, one of Germany’s
largest breweries, has set itself the goal of becoming one of the most modern
and sustainable breweries in Germany by the time it celebrates its 200th
anniversary in 2024. Siemens Smart Infrastructure is supplying technology to
ensure the sustainable energy supply of a new building at the company's
headquarters in the town of Grevenstein in the Sauerland region, where a new
bottling plant will go into operation in 2022. The centerpiece is the new 8DJH
12 blue GIS fluorine gas-free medium-voltage switchgear. It completely
eliminates the greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as well as other
fluorine gases. Instead, the switchgear uses the climate-neutral Clean Air
insulation gas, which consists exclusively of natural components of the ambient
air. The system is supplemented by low-voltage technology with digital
measurement and communication functions for safe and efficient power
distribution.

switchgear.
“By opting for environmentally friendly,
fluorine gas-free switchgear from Siemens we are extending our sustainability
principle to the field of energy supply. This not only guarantees a reliable
supply of energy for our new building and bottling plant, but also reduces our
carbon footprint and protects the environment,” said Peter Peschmann, technical
director at C. & A. Veltins.
“With our blue GIS switchgear, the customer benefits
from both cost-effectiveness and excellent environmental compatibility,” said
Stephan May, CEO of the Distribution Systems Business Unit at Siemens Smart
Infrastructure. “We take advantage of gas-insulated switchgear technology, but
no longer use fluorine gases. Instead, we use Clean Air, a climate-neutral
insulating gas.”
In the new building at
Veltins, Siemens is also installing Sivacon S8 low-voltage switchgear with the
new 3WA air circuit breakers as well as the Sivacon 8PS busbar trunking system,
which is significantly more flexible and economical because it replaces
conventional cabling. The systems and components have full communication
capabilities and are able to collect precise energy and condition data and transfer
it directly to energy management and IoT systems for visualization and further
analysis. Among other things, this makes it possible to identify potential
savings and significantly improve operational energy efficiency.
