A well-connected and well-maintained power grid ensures that energy is transported from where it is generated to where it is needed. Grid connectivity enables efficient energy transfer between regions, covers the increasing energy demand, facilitates renewable energy integration, and secures energy access and electrification, for example of industries and data centers.
An increasing system complexity demands for investments into power grid infrastructure that stabilize the grid and ensure uninterrupted energy supply, even under adverse conditions.
Grid resilience ensures stability, reliability and availability of the power grid, reduces losses and improves system efficiency.
The power grid must be transformed – now more than ever. The grid of the future needs digital solutions to utilize existing power system infrastructure more efficiently and flexibly to address evolving capacity shortages and complexities. Grid digitalization is transforming grids today into intelligent and autonomous power systems that will shape the grid of tomorrow.
Less carbon emissions is our ultimate goal, and this is reflected throughout our portfolio. In everything we do, we explore strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of the transmission grid, transition to renewable energy sources, and support electrification of transportation and industries. Grid decarbonization is a critical component of combatting climate change.
The technology of our air-insulated substation products (AIS) sets international trends. We continuously ensure high quality through optimized production processes, constant product development towards grid connectivity, and grid decarbonization, as well as a certified quality management system.
With ever-increasing demand for electricity, the need for high availability, and the ambitious goals of reducing carbon emissions, data centers must find innovative solutions to meet these demands. Siemens Energy has developed a diverse portfolio of technologies such as power transmission solutions and batteries (for storage) to provide a stable grid connection, ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted power supply for the safe and efficient operation of your data center.
We are advancing decarbonization with vacuum and clean air technology for gas-insulated switchgears (GIS), including wind turbine applications. Thousands of these SF6-free and F-gas-free Blue GIS and GIB solutions already eliminate greenhouse gases and significantly reduce CO2e emissions today.
SVC PLUS FS® is the frequency stabilizer extension of our SVC PLUS® STATCOM, offering energy storage by supercapacitors. In addition to reactive power compensation, it enables active power where it is being injected or stored to balance the frequency in the grid.
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) is ideal for bridging the distances between large-scale renewable power generating installations such as offshore wind farms and the load centers they serve. In a multi-terminal configuration, the collecting of renewable power can be combined with pan-continental integration of power transmission systems, such as for interconnecting multiple regional or national AC grids.
Hydrogen plays an important role in the energy transition as it allows conversion and storage of energy. It bridges the gap in time and location between production of renewable electricity and the consumption thereof. Siemens Energy offers products, services, and solutions along the entire value chain of hydrogen economy.
Siemens Energy offers customized single and three phase micro substations with power voltage transformers to improve electricity accessibility, particularly in remote areas. These substations feature a tailored protection system, SF6-free solutions, vacuum switching technology, and clean air insulation for a sustainable and environmentally friendly operation. With virtually unlimited power availability, high-quality service, and suitability for rural areas, this solution provides a sustainable alternative for existing transmission grids.
Our offshore grid connection solutions encompass both HVDC (high voltage direct current) and HVAC (high voltage alternating current) systems. For near- and mid-shore distances, our HVAC offshore solutions efficiently connect renewable energy sites to the power grid, while our HVDC offshore solutions are designed to handle over mid- and far-shore distances. Both solutions offer turnkey offshore grid connections, which include the construction of offshore platforms and onshore stations.
The increasing demand for clean energy creates several challenges for Renewable developers such as supply chain shortages, workforce limitations, and long interconnection queues. The collaborative approach of Siemens Energy provides solutions that support the need to create less risk within projects without compromising on technology or competitiveness. We provide solutions along the full life-cycle of the project, including feasibility support, equipment standardization strategies, control & protection optimization, installation & commissioning, and operations & maintenance support.
As your trusted OEM partner, we offer comprehensive services for the complete lifecycle of your high-voltage asset. Our global team ensures direct and effective support as well as long-term care with customized service programs, guiding you through the challenges of the growing demand for sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy systems.
The global rise in renewable energy production challenges electricity grids with its intermittent nature, causing voltage and frequency shifts, especially over long distances from generation to consumption. Our SVC PLUS® technology regulates reactive power to stabilize voltage fluctuations, and offers additional features like active filtering of harmonics and grid-forming functionality.
Battery Energy Storage Systems are rechargeable batteries that can store energy from different sources and discharge it when needed. They can be used to balance the electric grid, provide backup power, and improve grid stability.
Parallel connected synchronous condensers, provide short-circuit power and inertia, all while stabilizing the network through voltage recovery during faults. Increasing renewable power feed-in, can cause lack of short-circuit power and inertia. When fossil-fuel power plants are in standby, synchronous condenser solutions use a conventional generator to provide the necessary inertia and short-circuit contribution by means of its rotating mass while also providing or absorbing reactive power.
We design and manufacture traction transformers for rail operators and train manufacturers worldwide, that increase train efficiency and performance, handle maximum ratings in a minimum of space, serve local content demands for worldwide applications, and ensure maximum reliability and flexibility.
