| Connecting and powering the world  The world's energy supply system is evolving at a fast pace. It is becoming more and more complex, facing new challenges but also providing many new opportunities. Siemens offers a variety of innovative and reliable solutions across all company sectors to meet the challenges of the new energy age. At this year's Cigré (International Council on Large Electric Systems) exhibition, taking place from August 26 – 31 in Paris, France, Siemens will focus on its solutions in the field of power transmission. Product highlights according to the motto "connecting and powering the world" will include the latest 800 kV UHVDC (ultra high-voltage direct-current transmission) system as well as the latest HVDC Plus and SVC Plus (Static Var Compensator) multilevel technology.Siemens' HVDC and FACTS (flexible alternating-current transmission system) technologies provide a wide range of applications, that help transmit electricity over long distances, minimize transmission losses and make the whole power system more reliable and sustainable. In Paris, Siemens will also be exhibiting its high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). Further highlights are the 8DN8 type switchgear for up to 170 kV, 64 kA, 4000 A and the 8DQ1 type switchgear with a single-break circuit breaker for up to 420 kV, 63 kA, 4000 A. Both types of GIS are extraordinarily small and operate at highest performance levels. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
