Energy intelligence for a more adaptable, sustainable power grid
Smart grids use digital technologies and IoT solutions to intelligently respond and adapt to changes in the grid. Infusing energy intelligence with the Siemens Xcelerator for Grids portfolio is the key to leveraging the data in the grid. This allows operators to make grid operation more reliable, cost-efficient, flexible, safer and therefore sustainable.Staying ahead of change
Our lives and the way we do business depends on a sustainable energy supply. But decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization are leading to a radical transformation of the energy landscape. Increasing integration of power from renewable sources also poses challenges to power grids.
Despite all these changes, participants in the energy system still need to maintain grid stability, ensure power quality, enable sector coupling, deal with aging assets, and reduce costs. Bringing energy intelligence to the grid not only helps master these challenges, it also generates new opportunities to increase asset and cybersecurity, efficiently balance generation and demand, and create new revenue streams.
Master the digital transformation
The digital solutions from our Siemens Xcelerator for Grids portfolio connect the real and digital worlds and IT with OT. This is how we integrate intelligence across the energy value chain – in planning, operations, and maintenance.
Siemens Xcelerator for Grids is coupled with our extensive domain expertise. We support the energy industry as a partner with connected hardware and software and also with in-depth consulting to master the complexities of its digital transformation. Our co-creation approach is essential: No single company can tackle all the challenges alone, so we’ve teamed up with thousands of partners in a growing ecosystem that benefits every participant.
Turn market requirements into competitive advantages
Instead of replacing weak or aging assets, it's often reasonable to support the grid infrastructure with local generation and storage, optimized asset performance, and continuous condition monitoring of assets to prevent faults. Replacing outdated assets with new ones is facilitated through tailored financing solutions that meet any project requirements.
