The world’s most efficient gas turbine (340 MW); used in a combined-cycle power plant it can help achieve more than 60% efficiency (world record).

Greater efficiency is possible thanks to higher combustion temperatures: Innovative materials and cooling systems make the gas turbine exceptionally heat-resistant.

Use of the new gas turbine in the Irsching 4 combined-cycle power plant means an annual reduction of 40,000 tonnes of CO2 compared to a plant operating at 58% efficiency.

Advanced gas-turbine and combined-cycle technology means lower emissions, less fuel consumption, reduced operating costs and greater flexibility.

Siemens is developing two technologies for CO2 capture and storage (CCS) for new and existing power plants: Combined-cycle power plants with an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) and CO2 scrubbing for conventional power plants.Fuel gasification is crucial in IGCC plants. Siemens technology is suitable for a variety of fuels, reliable and low maintenance.Siemens is supplying China’s Shenhua Ningmei DME company with a new generation of gasification reactors with a thermal output of 500 MW. The gasification plant converts coal into polypropylene. Leading products and systems for monitoring and reducing harmful emissions from coal-fired power stations and in industrial applications (Siemens Environmental Systems and Services).

High-performance wind turbines for large-scale on-shore and offshore applications.

Siemens is the world market leader in offshore wind farms and recently signed a contract for 140 3.6-megawatt turbines for an offshore wind park in Great Britain (Windpark Greater Gabbard) that will supply environmentally compatible energy for more than 450,000 households.

Siemens is installing Europe’s largest onshore wind farm with a 322 MW output (Whitelee, Scotland).

Since 2003 wind turbines with an output of 3,300 megawatts being installed, meaning an annual saving in CO2 emissions of around 8 million tonnes.

Rotor blades are cast as a single piece using Siemens’own patented production method, so there are no bonded joints or weak spots. The result is maximum quality, performance and availability.

World’s largest and most powerful steam turbine

The largest and most powerful steam turbine ever is currently being built at Siemens Energy Mühlheim plant.

The steam turbine will generate around 1,600 megawatts, which is enough to supply power for a city with 1.6 million inhabitants and its industry.

The turbine will rotate at a speed of 1,500 rpm (rotations per minute), during which the blade tips will reach twice the speed of sound.

Compressor technology: Extracting gas from fallow fields

Siemens is developing a compressor for the Norwegian oil and gas company Statoil to extract contaminated natural gas from previously unusable gas fields under the ocean floor. The test system is due to go into operation at the end of 2008.

Compressors compact the gas to a pressure of up to 1,000 bar in order to feed it into pipelines and transport it, in some cases, for thousands of kilometers. The ECO-II compressor has been used successfully since 2006.

Statoil has commissioned Siemens to further develop the ECO-II: The aim is to be able to use the compressor technology in a few years' time directly on the ocean floor, where most of the contaminated gas fields are located. So that it can withstand such extreme conditions, Siemens is currently optimizing the system by making the design more robust for maximum availability with minimum maintenance.

The new compressor will also extend the life of each field sinceits technology will allow low-pressure gas, which previously went unused, to be compressed directly on the ocean floor.

Siemens supplies key components for biomass-fed and solar-thermal power plants.

The UK’s largest biomass-fed power plant operated by E.ON UK, with a 44-MW output, is efficient and reliable. It supplies up to 70,000 homes with electricity and saves roughly 150,000 tons of CO2 emissions a year.

Siemens is the global market leader in steam turbines for solar-thermal power plants: The world’s biggest solar-thermal plants, Andasol I and II in Spain, are operated with two 50-MW steam turbines. Each will supply around 50,000 homes with electricity and save about 172,000 tons of CO2 emissions.

Siemens has been awarded three new contracts for supplying SST-700 steam turbines from ACS/Cobra for its third solar-thermal Extresol I power plant in Extremadura in Southern Spain, from Iberdrola of Spain for its Ibersol 1 plant in Castilla La Mancha, and from Solel Solar Systems of Israel for its solar-thermal power plant in Southern Spain.

The world record for continuously operating a 100-kW high-temperature demo system (SOFC: Solid-Oxide Fuel Cell) in Germany, The Netherlands, and Italy.

Virtually no emission of noxious substances such as NOx, CO, SO2 and particles.

Fuel cells (PEM – Proton Exchange Membrane or Polymer Electrolyte Membrane) are already being successfully employed in submarines.

The efficiency level with a gas turbine can be around 70% (world record).

EnBW wants to join forces with Siemens to set up a megawatt-class fuel-cell hybrid power plant (starting in 2012).

Long-distance HVDC power transmission is efficient and eco-friendly thanks to lower transmission losses compared to AC transmission.

With HVDC technology asynchronous power systems can be linked and long-distance transmission implemented using both overhead transmission lines and submarine cable.

The 290-km-long Basslink between Australia and Tasmania is at present the world‘s longest sub-marine cable link with a transmission capacity of as much as 600 MW.

Since mid-2007, the 660-MW HVDC submarine cable link between Long Island and Sayreville in New Jersey, USA, has been supplying power to the island just across the bay from the "Big Apple”.

High voltage DC transmission (HVDCT):Eco-friendly and high-performance

With the 2500-MW HVDC link “Ballia-Bhiwadi” in India, HVDCT reduces transmission losses compared to conventional AC transmission at 400 kV to such an extent that 688,000 tones of CO2 are saved annually.

The world’s first long-distance HVDC link, which operates at a transmission voltage of +/- 800 kV:As of 2009, the 5000-MW link in China will enter operation and supply eco-friendly, CO2-free hydro-based power over a distance of 1400 km from Yunnan to Guangzhou. In this way it will be possible to avoid over 30 million tonnes of CO2 emissions, which would have otherwise been produced by conventional local generating capacity.

FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) –Greater grid stability for AC systems, too

FACTS enhances the safety and reliability of AC transmission systems and simultaneously ensures current quality.

Parallel compensation with a Static VarCompensator (SVC) is part of the FACTS technology for stabilizing power system voltage.

In Denmark the “Radsted” SVC system enables operation of a wind farm on the weak transmission grid and thus saves 174,000 tones of CO2 annually.

The SVC system “Siems” in Germany enables an increase in the capcity of the HVDC “Baltic Cable”on the weak transmission grid: More hydro power is thus transmitted from Nordic countries. That results in annual savings of 634,000 tonnes of CO2compared to local power generation in Germany.

Siemens is developing a coal-fired power plant that will operate at a steam temperature of about 700°C and have an efficiency rating of at least 50 percent. With this efficiency rating, only 669 grams of CO2 will be emitted per kilowatt hour. The average efficiency rating of coal-fired power plants worldwide today is 30 percent, with about 1,100 grams of CO2 produced for every kilowatt hour generated.The new facility is being designed to produce 40 percent less CO2 than the current international average, in addition to consuming 40 percent less coal to generate a given power output. A one-percent increase in the efficiency of all coal-fired power plants would reduce CO2 emissions by 260 million ton per year –or four times the emissions produced in New York City.When the steam temperature in the turbines is boosted to 700°C –from today’s maximum of 600°C – the steam pressure also increases, from 185 to 350 bars. This requires new high-strength materials such as nickel-based alloys for the steam turbines, which must deliver a minimum service life of 25 years.The power provider E.ON is planning to put such a world-record power plant into operation in Wilhelmshaven, Germany in 2004.

Energy-efficient home appliances

Developing energy efficient and environmental friendly products is a central concern of the Bosch and Siemens home appliances. Since 1990, energy consumption has been reduced by nearly 80 percent for refrigerators. For ovens, washing machines and dishwashers, between 30 and almost 40 percent.188 million home appliances in Europe are older than ten years. If they were replaced with new energy-efficient products, 44 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year would be saved – enough to supply some 10 million households.

The DECT follow-on technology for cordless IP phones and devices CAT-iq (Cordless Advanced Technology)offers broadband data transmission with improved voice quality for VoIP calls and new, internet-based applications, such as internet radio, directly on a telephone.

CAT-iq features optimized power management, for example switching off the transmitter power when not needed.

CAT-iq combines the advantages of DECT, such as security, range, and quality-of-service, with broadband IP.

Microchip manufacturers and many telephone manufacturers have opted for this standard: Interoperability between different manufacturers’ devices and the infrastructure is insured.

Gigaset S675 IP as the first product worldwide to becertified (December 2007).

HDSP: Broadband voice quality with Gigaset cordless phones

HDSP (High Definition Sound Performance) makes broadband audio quality possible by using a new codec (G.722) to compress the data. This makes it possible to transmit frequencies ranging from 50 to 7,000 Hz. The frequency range of a regular phone is only 300 to 3400 Hz.Thanks to the expanded frequency range, significantly more detail can be transmitted. When talking over the internet, you can hear even the smallest nuances as if the other person were standing right next to you. No more typical “telephone” sound. To take advantage of HDSP, both parties must have an HDSP-capable telephone. HDSP is based on the new CAT-iq standard, the successor of DECT.

New type of ship motor on the basis of su-per-conductors. Output: four megawatts.

Since the rotor coils are made of super-conducting material, they can carry 100 times more current density than copper coils. This saves on weight and space.

The motor is also quieter and vibrates less. It is the result of the long-term collaboration between researchers of Corporate Technology and drive and ship-building experts of other Siemens Divisions and additional partners in industry and science.

The motor is currently undergoing endurance testing before being developed further to be ready for the market.

Researchers from Siemens Corporate Technology (CT) and the Technical University Munich have achieved the world’s first experimental implementation of an artificial neuronal network on a simple quantum computer. With this they have come a step closer to the use of such computers in everyday practice. The simulation of pattern recognition produced by the CT researchers for recognizing patterns was evaluated with a magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR) by scientists from the university. The system, with two “qubits” confirmed all the results. (The picture shows the researchers in the university laboratory, in the background is the spectrometer.)

Siemens researchers are developing cell sensors that could serve as early-warning systems for contaminated water or poor air quality. A team at Siemens Corporate Technology (CT) in Munich is now working with the biotech company Bionas in Rostock on selected cell cultures adhered to silicon chips. Cell sensors are ideal for detecting contaminants, because like higher living organisms they react to changes in their environment by altering their metabolism. The chip serves as a signal converter that immediately stores the related information in an overarching process control system and initiates appropriate measures, such as restoring water to its previous quality level. (The picture shows the liver cells on a silicon chip.)

Siemens researchers have succeeded for the first time in transmitting up to 100 megabits of data per second (Mbit/s) with visible light. In addition to the established WLAN technology, the researchers also want to use light for wireless data transfer. The factor driving this research forward is the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth and flexibility in gigabit home networks, which will be needed for future Internet services. Using high-performance, white light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the researchers from Corporate Technology in Munich succeeded in transmitting data across more than a meter of empty space.
