At a signing ceremony at Siemens Energy’s Innovation
Center-Orlando, Siemens Energy and the Georgia Institute of Technology this
week formalized their commitment to collaborate on solutions to meet society’s increasing
demand for energy in an economically and environmentally sustainable
manner. With the inauguration of the
Innovation Center earlier this year, Siemens Energy announced its intention to
expand its work with leading research universities on a broad range of energy
technologies. The master research agreement will allow Georgia Tech and Siemens
Energy to conduct joint research, as well as openly support each other’s
independent research and development work.
The two organizations have a decades-long history of collaboration on
energy projects, particularly focused around design, materials, manufacturing,
and gas turbine combustion.
Northeast Energy Center (NEC) and Chart Energy &
Chemicals selected Siemens Energy to supply a gas/electric hybrid drive system
for NEC’s LNG plant being built in Charlton, Massachusetts. The NEC project
will be the first LNG facility in the world to feature a system of this type,
which offers a significant advance in efficiency no matter the weather or
temperature. Siemens Energy will serve as the single-source supplier of the
integrated drive, providing all rotating equipment and associated control
systems.
- Innovation Center-Orlando is Siemens Energy’s
largest and first global hub for innovation dedicated to accelerating the
development of products and solutions to drive the energy transition
- Operates with a start-up mentality, where ideas
that used to take six months to test can now be tested in six weeks
- The expansion increases the space from 17,000
sq. ft. to 30,000 sq. ft. with a focus on increasing collaborative space and
development of the application & technology area for early-stage R&D
Siemens
Energy announced that it is expanding its Innovation Center – Orlando, the
company’s largest and first global hub for innovation dedicated to accelerating
the development of products and solutions to drive the energy transition
through collaboration, rapid prototyping, and testing. Originally opened in
October 2019, the facility also plays an important recruiting role for the U.S.
as a world leader in developing the transformational energy technologies of the
future.

- Siemens Energy’s AI-driven Managed Detection & Response (MDR) solution is a first of a kind security offering available in AWS Marketplace built for energy and utilities, by an integrated energy technology company focused across the entire energy value chain
- MDR’s monitoring and detection insights provide scalable protection against disruptive cyberattacks in the energy sector using innovative artificial intelligence
Company Joins AWS
Partner Network to Provide Customers with Industrial Cybersecurity Solution to
Ensure Reliable Electricity and Fuel Supplies
- Woodfibre LNG will be powered by clean, renewable hydroelectric power, reducing its
greenhouse gas emissions by more than 80%
- Siemens Energy will provide motors, variable speed drives, and the main refrigerant compressors
for the Woodfibre LNG project
- Once operational, Woodfibre LNG will provide over 100 jobs for the lifetime of the project
Siemens Energy announced today that it has been selected as the single solution supplier for the all-electric Woodfibre LNG project near Squamish, in British Columbia, Canada. Siemens Energy’s scope includes all equipment associated with the main refrigeration trains including compressors, synchronous motors, variable speed drives, converter transformers, harmonic filters and numerous powerhouses. The main refrigeration compressor trains are one of the components of the liquefaction process that produces the LNG that will eventually be stored in tanks and then transported to LNG tankers for shipping abroad.
Today, Christian Bruch, CEO, Siemens Energy, attended
the SelectUSA Investment Summit near Washington, D.C. where he joined fellow
industry leaders in a discussion focused on “Building a Better America--Investments in
Infrastructure” and shared his views on Siemens Energy’s role in creating
America’s clean energy future. The
SelectUSA Investment Summit is the highest-profile event in the country
dedicated to promoting foreign direct investment.
Today, Rich Voorberg, President of North America for
Siemens Energy, joined President Biden and a group of U.S. manufacturers at the
United Performance Materials facility in Hamilton, OH to launch AM Forward
(Additive Manufacturing Forward). AM
Forward is an initiative designed to upgrade the capacity of America’s small and
medium-sized manufacturers using additive manufacturing or 3D printing.
- Time-tested design part of Siemens Energy’s
commitment to environment and safety
- Blue switchgear technology will help National
Grid meet zero-carbon emissions goal
In line with
shared commitments to decarbonize, National Grid and Siemens Energy are teaming
up to undertake a cutting-edge upgrade of a National Grid substation using
Siemens Energy designed fluorinated gas free “Blue circuit breakers” with clean
air insulation and vacuum switching technology.
- The Gibsonton, Florida facility demonstrates
Siemens Energy’s commitment to investing in U.S.-based manufacturing and
servicing of components for advanced energy projects, for worldwide export. The company has invested over $100 million
into the facility so far.
- Wage increases already implemented for existing
workforce
- Growth plan includes hiring roughly 100 employees
in the next two years
- Ownership of AAC will help secure the company’s
supply chain in the U.S., with essential turbine parts composed of advanced
materials and requiring advanced manufacturing processes
Siemens
Energy announced today that it has acquired Advanced Airfoil Components (AAC),
a business operating as a joint venture of Siemens Energy and Chromalloy since
November 2016.
- Program will train next generation cyber defenders to protect critical infrastructure, filling critical
skills gap
- Modernized approach to learning will create a sustainable, future-ready workforce in an area of
growing need
Siemens Energy, Inc. and a group of non-profit and academic organizations today announced a
consortium to establish a new industrial cybersecurity apprenticeship program to defend critical
infrastructure. The Cybersecurity & Industrial Infrastructure Security Apprenticeship Program
(CIISAp) was launched with five other founding members, including ICS Village, Inc., Regional
Economic Development for Eastern Idaho (REDI), MISI Academy, Capitol Technology University,
SANS Institute, Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) and Idaho State University (ISU),
who will collectively design and run an apprenticeship program that links rigorous academic classes
and educational training with real-world job rotations at leading industrial companies.
