Generator Circuit-Breakers are key components to improve the reliability and protection of power plant. Thanks to SF6- and maintenance-free vacuum technology, they reduce the CO2 footprint and operational cost of your power plant!

Get the first insides of the new high speed busbar transfer system based on SIPROTEC 5. Permanent availability of electricity is essential for reliable production in power stations and industrial plants where lots of inductive motor are installed. To achieve this, a busbar is normally equipped with two or more independent in-coming power sources to provide the possibility to switch to standby source in case of main source is interrupted. So, I would like you present the new SIPROTEC 5 7VU85 High Speed Busbar Transfer Device, based on the well-known SIPROTEC 5 platform. The new design fits to your busbar application and can be flexible used for two, three or more CB arrangements. We improved our well proven HBST algorithm to guarantee a fast transfer with a minimum impact on the processes.

Today’s challenges for power grids and our answers will be discussed.

Look at the technological and economic background for the use of IEC 61850-9-2 process bus technology in the "UW Sandersdorf" substation. This substation supplies electrical power to one of the largest paper mills. Due to the size of the paper mill, the installed electrical power is 50 MVA and requires a direct connection to the 110 kV transmission grid to supply the 20 kV medium-voltage switchgear without compromising OPEX and CAPEX costs.

Ideal for Distribution Grid Operators and Industry. This session will cover an extraordinary sample how the needs in an integrated and cost beneficial solution for the largest onshore fish farm in Norway are covered. The SICAM Application of Self Optimizing Grid integrates in an holistic approach 8DJ switchgears, SIPROTEC 5 protection relays, SICAM A8000 and SICAM PAS to an unique application to serve and preserve 39 MW for the farm.

Universal protection devices SIPROTEC 7SX8 lever the effectiveness and efficiency of asset and lifecycle management on a higher level. In this presentation we explain how and why you can benefit.

In this session we will give an overview of the protection purposes for motors and explain, which protection functions are provided by SIPROTEC 5 motor protection devices.

The SICAM A8000 can be used whenever energy flows. In this presentation we will give a new overview of our wonderful product and of the different applications where it can be used to bring our customers to the next level in energy management. 

Renewables are constantly growing, energy efficiency, sustainability and CO2 reduction are key: SICAM A8000 for reliable control of microgrids, industrial grids and photovoltaic plants.

The growing energy demand involved in electromobility, as well as the decentralized infeed from various producers, present new challenges for the distribution grids and their operators.

Here, customers expect sustainable and clean solutions which enable optimum monitoring, control, and utilization of their grid.

Gas insulated switchgears are relevant for all applications in MV distribution grids. Changing global trends and needs over the whole vertical business portfolio require the further digitalization of switchgears.

What would you do in a world without power? Our solutions help you to gain more transparency across your electrical distribution assets to identify optimization strategies to reduce operation costs and to better manage risks by using latest technologies. Through features like advanced condition monitoring, alarming views and notifications, safe documentation, and energy insights for all your substation locations worldwide most of time-consuming manual processes which calls for visits at site can be drastically reduced. Unplanned asset breakdowns will be avoided by detecting failures before they lead to a problem. Start now your digitalization journey to ensure reliable power distribution.

The energy transition, renewable energy infeed and increasing use of electromobility lead to volatile energy flows today’s medium-voltage distribution grids are not designed for. Therefore, there is an increasing request for smart RMU’s, to get further operating and condition data. This presentation will give an overview about the Siemens solution for smart RMU's of the 8DJH family.

Beside historic tasks the distribution grid is used for new services. Various aspects considered to build new strategies struggle with the lack of data.
We will present how to get data and more imported which insights are going to improve reliability and operational costs.

The occurrence of an internal arc fault in a well-designed, type-tested, correctly installed, and operated switchgear is improbable – but not impossible. Potential consequences of arc flash incidents on medium voltage switchgear and available active measures with their effects on the availability of the electrical equipment will be presented.

With the example of SIVACON S8plus low-voltage switchboards and SIVACON 8PS busbar trunking systems we will show how to master complex tasks with special requirements in the process industry, in data centers, or in critical infrastructure facilities while managing efficiency and reliability of the processes.
