- Company’s high-voltage direct current systems will be equipped first with SensSolution technology
Siemens Energy launches the world's first power transmission solution with holistic cloud connectivity and designated web application suite at Hannover Messe, Germany. SensSolution enables the secure transmission of substation data to the cloud, allowing for valuable real-time analyses and monitoring, supporting system operation and availability as result. Siemens Energy will deploy SensSolution to its complete transmission solutions portfolio, starting now with high-voltage direct current systems (HVDC).
- Siemens Energy extends its
digital power transmission portfolio for a successful energy transition
- Grid operators will be able to
make the right decisions faster to operate the grid more efficiently
- Highest cybersecurity standards
due to on-site data processing and storage directly in the substation
The energy transition is challenging the
power grids: Wind and sun feed in renewable energy in a highly fluctuating
manner, and the complexity and connectivity of our energy infrastructure
continues to grow. At the same time, the importance of cybersecurity is
increasing, because more and more components are digitally networked and thus
potentially vulnerable. This poses major challenges for grid operators. For the
energy transition, the digitization of transmission infrastructure is playing a
decisive role. Siemens Energy is extending its switchgear and transformer portfolio
to include new digital products such as the world's first high-voltage system
with integrated edge computing technology. With these innovative products, grid
operators will be able to react faster to changes in the system, make the right
decisions, and increase the transparency, productivity, and reliability of
their plants. The seamless integration of the systems into the existing
customer network is local, secure and simple. This also ensures a highly
cyber-secure system.

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.
- Joint trial of a large-scale, high-temperature heat pump in district heating network
- Waste heat and renewable electricity utilized to achieve heating transition in Berlin
- Federal government-funded project links heat, cooling, and electricity
Vattenfall
Wärme Berlin AG and Siemens Energy signed an agreement today to demonstrate and
trial a new large-scale, high-temperature heat pump in Berlin. In the Qwark³
project (the German acronym represents “coupling of district heating, power,
and cooling”), they will test the use of this new technology for the first time
at Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz to generate green district heating using waste heat
and electricity from renewables, and feed it into Berlin’s district heating
network. The project is funded by the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and
Energy as part of its 7th Energy Research Program: The aim of the
pilot project is to establish robust claims regarding the technical and
economic potential of generating heat using large-scale and high-temperature
heat pumps.
- 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.
- Siemens Energy was awarded an engineering procurement construction (EPC) contract from
MISC Berhad for the supply of eight complete topside modules for a floating production, storage,
and offloading (FPSO) vessel
- The FPSO will operate in an oil field offshore South America and is scheduled for start-up in 2024
Siemens Energy was awarded a topside EPC contract by MISC Berhad for eight complete topside
modules that will provide sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly power generation,
transmission, and distribution, as well as gas processing and compression aboard an FPSO that will
operate offshore South America starting in 2024.
- Continuation of Siemens
Energy’s strategic cooperation with Shenzhen Energy
- The next world-class
performance benchmark for F-class combined cycle project
Siemens Energy has been selected by Shenzhen
Energy Corporation (Shenzhen Energy) in China to supply two 460-megawatt (MW) F-class
gas turbine power islands for Phase Two of the Corporation’s Fengda Power Plant
Natural Gas Power Generation Expansion Project. The order marks another
milestone resulting from the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement signed
by the two companies in 2019.
