Energy management in modern buildings

In the future, intelligent buildings will be so-called ‘prosumers’, i.e. they will produce and consume energy. They interact with the smart grid and control power demand and generation in order to save energy costs and reduce CO2 emissions. The Building Energy Management System (BEMS) is at the core of this; it creates the perfect balance between consumption and production. That this concept is not only limited to single buildings but to entire city areas is shown by the following example Projekt Seestadt Aspern in Austria.

Security and fire protection

Secure power supply, access control and fire protection means comprehensive protection for people in offices and public buildings. Siemens has the products and the necessary experience to meet these requirements at an optimum level of performance.

Data centers – availability, efficiency and scalability

Data is the currency of the digital economy, and data centers are the factories in which data is processed. The demands placed on data centers not only for availability and security but also for efficiency and flexibility are extremely high. Siemens has specific technologies and products designed to meet the high demands in all areas of a data center.

Smart grid

Previously the electricity grid transported uni-directional energy flows, today the grid transports multi-directional flows of energy and information. For an efficient distribution of power, smart grids are essential. Siemens offers information and provider technology (IT/OT) that optimally meet the needs of future intelligent, networked and distributed energy systems.

Energy storage solutions

Energy storage is necessary to balance the difference in time between energy production and energy consumption. But which solution and which technology are best suited for all the diverse requirements? Using its broad portfolio of diverse technologies, Siemens offers providers the optimal solution and checks if the solution meets the network’s specific requirements.

Wind power solutions

Modern wind turbines on land (onshore) and in the sea (offshore) today generate cost-effective and environmentally friendly power. Offshore wind turbines require good connections for transporting the power to consumers, and have demanding maintenance regimes. Wind turbine operators therefore especially benefit from the extensive experience Siemens has in all energy technologies and markets.

Control centers

Only smart control center technology meets the demanding requirements of modern power grids. The control center collects detailed information about the grid and its status. The centers support the operating personnel with the central network control. In the case of an error, personnel can counteract quickly and effectively, thereby ensuring a reliable power supply.

Integrated power supply solutions

Integrated power supply solutions must cover the entire power supply system – from the high voltage feed-in and transportation level to the low voltage consumer level. Only with smart interfaces to industry and building automation systems can the demands placed by critical facilities be met. With Totally Integrated Power (TIP) Siemens offers a comprehensive portfolio that spans the entire life cycle from planning to maintenance, ensuring a secure power supply.

Smart parking

As much as 40% of inner-city traffic consists of vehicles looking for parking places. Siemens Smart Parking Solution has radars that monitor the parking situation and relay occupancy information to a control center. Here the available slots are evaluated and communicated to drivers via smartphones or navigation systems. This translates into less searching, improved traffic flow and reduced congestion.

Traffic management

Intelligent traffic control facilitates the reduction of traffic jams and improves the quality of life in urban areas. Sitraffic® Concert is the scalable traffic platform to navigate traffic streams more efficiently and comprehensively.

How can regional and national capitals benefit from the opportunities modern Traffic management can provide? Our latest White Paper offers clear recommendations.

Automated train operation

Trainguard® MT is a modular, radio-based train control system that reduces train headways to less than 90 seconds. The automated train operation increases efficiency and reliability optimizing energy balance and punctuality.

Better travel experience by Always Connected and eTicketing

Always Connected is Siemens’ “interconnected train” solution. It offers Internet-based applications for operators to better coordinate and optimize fleet management in real-time. Passengers enjoy easy access to information and entertainment solutions that ensure a state-of-the-art passenger experience. This is enhanced by eTicketing offering customers always the best ticket.

This service is based on a smartcard developed by Siemens. It is a key component for integrating different transportation mode networks, as well as a feasible option for the future intermodal use of additional mobility and leisure activities.

Prescriptive maintenance

Imagine digital remote monitoring and diagnostic systems that continually analyze the condition of components and their operation. Required maintenance and the need for spare parts will be reported by the system as needed. The result: increased availability and efficiency for operators and improved reliability and punctuality for passengers.
