- Siemens Energy, a world leading energy technology company, announces the appointment of Nadja
Haakansson as Managing Director for Africa, effective April 1, 2021.
Siemens Energy has a rich heritage in Africa, stretching back over 160 years, and has played a
significant part in pioneering sustainable and economic developments in numerous African
countries.
- Siemens Energy has shipped the first of 20 compression trains for a critical gas project from its Saudi hub
Siemens Energy has shipped the first of 20 locally assembled centrifugal compressor systems to Aramco’s Hawiyah Unayzah Gas Reservoir
Storage
(HUGRS) project.
- 15-year LTSA covers power
supply at four major oilfields
- Ensures lower emissions,
improved reliability, and efficiency
- Develops local economy with
training and jobs
Siemens Energy has signed its first
long-term service agreement (LTSA) with Aramco, covering a range of turbines
and generators at four major oil fields. This contract is expected to enable Aramco
to improve reliability, efficiency, and availability of power supply, thereby safeguarding
oil and gas production.
- Grid stability project to
ensure energy security and lower emissions
- Grid solution to enable interconnection
between Egypt and Sudan
The Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company
and the Sudanese Electricity Transmission Company have awarded Siemens Energy
with a contract to build grid stabilization stations in Sudan which will
stabilize the grid and ensure a reliable flow of power from Egypt to Sudan.
- Reactive power compensation
plant based on SVC PLUS technology
- Project execution time of only
16 months
- Enables smooth integration of
large amounts of wind and solar power into the grid
Siemens Energy will supply a reactive
power compensation plant to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
(LADWP). The plant will enhance operations at Barren Ridge Switching Station,
LADWP’s renewable energy transmission facility in Kern County, California,
about 80 miles north of Los Angeles. The plant will be based on Siemens
Energy’s SVC PLUS technology that combines the benefits of static synchronous
compensation (STATCOM) and modular multilevel converter (MMC) technology. The
fast response of the STATCOM stabilizes the transmission system when the amount
of power generated by solar, wind or hydro generation changes. The MMC
technology allows the implementation of this complex technology in a very small
footprint compared to traditional solutions. The new ±200 megavolt ampere
(MVAr) SVC PLUS will provide the necessary voltage support needed in the area, where LADWP has significantly
increased renewable energy generation.
- ARESS innovation project contributes to grid control and stabilization, paving the way for the
energy transition in Germany
- Cooperation develops an asynchronous phase shifter
The German transmission system operator Amprion and Siemens Energy signed a cooperation
agreement today in Mülheim an der Ruhr in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, on the close
cooperation in the development of new technologies controlling electrical networks. Together, the
two companies are developing the first asynchronous phase shifter called Asynchronous Rotating
Energy System Stabilizer (ARESS) for a network frequency of 50 Hertz (Hz). Dr. Hendrik Neumann,
Technical Director of Amprion, and Dr. Jochen Eickholt, member of the Managing Board of Siemens
Energy, signed the agreement in the presence of North Rhine-Westphalia’s Minister of Economic
Affairs, Innovation, Digitalization and Energy, Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart.
- India's first electricity link featuring voltage-sourced converter technology in commercial
operation
- First hybrid application of DC-XLPE cable and overhead transmission line
- Total system of two links allows electricity exchange of up to 2,000 megawatts to meet
country’s power deficits
The joint venture of Siemens Energy and Sumitomo Electric has completed connecting India’s first high-voltage direct current (HVDC) link featuring voltage-sourced converter (VSC) and DC-XLPE cable technology. The 2,000 megawatts (MW) electricity transmission system consists of two converter stations, that are connected via two links comprising DC-XLPE cable and overhead transmission line. It enables the power exchange between Pugalur in the southern state of Tamil Nadu and Trichur in Kerala State in South-West India and supports transmission operator Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) to counter power deficit in India’s southern region and improve the grid stability. Siemens Energy supplied the two converter stations for the ±320 kilovolt (kV) HVDC system while Sumitomo Electric was responsible for the XLPE HVDC cable system in the DC circuit.
- Collaboration between two
Siemens Energy construction projects avoids an additional 675 local lorry trips
- Innovative approach sees stone
used to construct the Triton Knoll onshore substation reused by National Grid’s
Viking Link interconnector team
- Stone reuse predicted to save a
total of 58 tonnes of CO2
Inventive
collaboration to reuse and recycle aggregate between two Siemens Energy
projects in Lincolnshire has had a major environmental and local impact
resulting in a reduction in harmful emissions and construction traffic in the
Bicker Fen and Donington areas.
- Seven key actions enable a sustainable energy future
- Carbon-neutrality is paramount for the long-term economic prosperity of the region
- Event partners included German Chambers of Commerce Abroad, Asia-Pacific Hydrogen
Association, Global Manufacturing and Industrialization Summit, Masdar, and Siemens Gamesa
- More than 2,500 participants joined in the virtual discussions over two days.
Regional and global business leaders, policy makers and government representatives throughout the
energy sector convened at the Asia Pacific Energy Week to discuss regional challenges and
opportunities. Themed ‘Shaping the Energy of Tomorrow’, the 2-day virtual event held from March 9
to 10, 2021 saw more than 2,500 participants actively engage in the discussions, opinion polls and
questions. The primary objective focused on fostering an ecosystem of collaboration and co-creation
between stakeholders to help meet the world’s sustainability goals, boost economic growth, create
new jobs and industries, improve human welfare and attain carbon neutrality by 2050.
- 22 fluid-immersed distribution transformers for Yuhuan Offshore Wind Power Project
- First 66 kV offshore wind farm supporting China’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2060
Siemens Energy will install 22 units of distribution transformers at China’s first commercial 66 kilovolts (kV) offshore wind farm, Yuhuan Offshore Wind Power Project Phase 1, located in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, southeastern China. The fluid immersed transformers of type FITformer WIND will support China Huadian Corporation (CHD) to optimize energy supply in the Yangtze River Delta region. With an installed capacity of 300 megawatt the wind farm will supply environmentally friendly power to about 240,000 households per year.
