Energy & Environmental Services:
Constant energy-saving and environmentally aware action pays
off for every company. Energy efficiency, energy management
and saving resources are hot topics in industry today.
The integrated solutions from Siemens open up all the technical
and organizational potential for efficient and successful environ-
mental management.
Saving energy in drives
The decisive factor in achieving the most energy-efficient
solution is to reduce energy consumption to that actually
required by the application. The plan will involve a comprehen-
sive bundle of measures. The costs and benefits of possible
savings are weighed against each other, the drive components
are configured according to the requirements, and the ideal plan
to ensure sustainable implementation of the overall concept is
formulated. Siemens Industry Services offers full support for this
process, including qualified consulting, engineering and project
management from drive specialists with many years of experi-
ence in almost all branches of industry. This saves time and
minimizes the overhead for binding personnel in the company to
specific projects.
The scope of these energy optimization measures covers three
phases:
1. Identification of potential savings
The energy requirement is determined and potential energy
savings are highlighted.
•
Identification of the existing energy consumption of the
plant
•
Presentation of the energy flow and potential savings
•
Output measurement and assessment of the quality of the
line supply
•
Analysis of electric motors in terms of their utilization and
energy efficiency
•
Recording energy costs to determine the potential energy
savings
2. Evaluation of the data obtained
The potential savings identified are evaluated using various
methods, so that a sound basis for decision-making is
created.
•
Inclusion of experience gained from comparable plants
through comparison with known application cases
•
Calculation of the potential savings using the energy
efficiency software SinaSave
•
Determining the investment costs taking into account the
service life, amortization and feasibility
•
Specification of measures and suggested solutions
3. Implementation of the energy optimization measures
The right products and targeted implementation measures are
determined and implemented.
•
Selection of the right components
•
Retrofitting and modernization of plant sections
•
Assistance with ordering
•
Project management and processing
•
Engineering, configuration, setting up, modifications,
assembly, installation, commissioning, acceptance and
training
•
Assessment of results after a specified period
Plant Maintenance & Condition Monitoring:
Plant efficiency and problem-free processes are decisive factors
for success in industry.
Proactive maintenance concepts and individually tailored ser-
vice contracts that are based on the wide-ranging experience
built up by Siemens experts ensure maximum productivity.
