Dear Readers:

Like solar energy, wind power is a major pillar on which themarket for renewable energy rests. Wind power capacity isbeing expanded worldwide. And its urgently needed. Asnoted in the Greenhouse Gas Bulletinpublished by theWorld Meteorological Organization (WMO) on November21, 2011, greenhouse gas emissions are the highest they

have been since the beginning of industrialization. Carbondioxide (CO2) makes a major contribution to thetemperature increase and is the main culprit in climatechange. CO2is released primarily through the combustionof fossil fuels and the slash-and-burn method of clearingforests. Accordingly, the increase in the CO2concentrationin the atmosphere can only be brought under controlthrough the generation of power from alternative sources.

Siemens AG is the worlds largest provider ofenvironmentally friendly technologies, with the help ofwhich Siemens customers were able to avoid the release ofsome 270 million tons of CO2in 2011. Siemens is alsorepresented internationally in many regions with its wind

portfolio. For example, the company received an order fora 100 MW wind project in Puerto Rico in the first quarter ofthis business year. The company also secured five otherorders with a total output of 570 MW in North America,where it is number two in the wind market, with a totalinstalled capacity of 4,800 MW. In addition, Siemens isdeveloping momentum in South America. In 2012 and2013, Siemens will be installing wind power plants of the2.3 MW type in Brazil, with a total capacity of 312 MW.

Low-voltage circuit-breaker technology is crucial for thereliability and availability of such plants, as shown in ourcover story on page 4. But with our systems for power

management in the manufacturing industry (p. 20), theTV-certified energy monitoring software powermanagerfor efficient operation of industrial and nonresidentialbuildings, and the measuring devices from the Sentron line,along with many other products, we also offer effectiveleverage for more energy efficiency, lower emissions, andultimately lower energy costs from which our customers along with the climate can also benefit.

The rotor diameters are getting bigger and bigger, the

hubs are hanging higher and higher, and the rated

outputs are increasing. Wind turbine systems and their

technology have undergone enormous development inrecent years. Companies are investing much expertise

and large amounts of money in this modern technology

an investment for which the protection of the plant is

becoming more and more important.

One major danger for the plant is

fire in the nacelle at a great height.

If a fire develops here due to a

lightning strike, for example, the fire

department can find it difficult to inter-

vene due to the exposed position. Once

the fire starts, it will find enough to feedon due to the high fire load. But technical

defects in the electrical plants can also

cause fires. Due to the many electrical

and electronic components, there is anespecially high hazard potential.

Failure of circuit breakers or control

technologies, incorrectly dimensioned

components of the power electronics, or

an insufficient electrical protection con-cept that does not include insulation

error detection are only some of the

possible causes of fire.

Risk recognized, hazard averted

Another risk for wind turbines is the

extreme load on electrical equipmentfrom frequent switching due to fluctuat-

ing wind speeds. Fires can be caused bythe resulting overheating. Protective

devices and switchgear ensure safe dis-tribution of the generated power in the

primary electrical circuit. Control and

auxiliary electrical circuits also require

their own protective measures. And, lastbut not least, the drives and motors of

the wind turbines also need to be pro-

tected from overvoltages, overloads, and

short circuits.A comprehensive fire protection con-

cept that provides for preventive fire pro-tection as well as integrated fire detection

and extinguishing systems minimizesthe risks from and during fires. For oper-ators of wind power plants, the experts

from Germanischer Lloyd and the inde-

pendent test institute VdS have compiledguidelines addressing fire protection. Asa provider of comprehensive, integratedsolutions for fire protection, Siemens

offers concepts and integrated products

that comply with these requirements.

Preventive fire protection

To prevent fires, lightning and overvolt-age protection adapted to the plant typeis required. For optimal protection, the

risk assessment needs to take into

account the possible paths of the light-

ning current, such as from the rotor

blade through the hub, nacelle, and

tower to the foundation. Lightning cur-rent arresters or surge arresters are

used to protect low-voltage systems

from overvoltages and high currents

due to direct lightning strikes.Protective technology, including fuses

and circuit breakers as well as residualcurrent monitoring devices, is able to

detect faults selectively and immedi-

ately switch off or disconnect defectiveparts of the network or individual pieces

of electrical equipment such as trans-

formers, cables, or generators. In the

event of a fault, the protective systemsalso need to ensure that the wind tur-

bine system is shut down in a controlled

manner with all-pole disconnection.

Tiered protection concepts are used to

achieve optimal fire protection. The

dovetailing of protective devices of

neighboring equipment ensures recip-

rocal reserve protection.

Protective devices ensure highavailability

toring and protective devices is used toensure high availability of the wind

power plant. Air circuit breakers are

used for switching and protecting the

primary electrical circuit in the wind

turbine system. They also enable the

disconnection of the plant from the grid,

for safely carrying out maintenance

work, for example. In their fire protec-

tion function, they prevent fires causedby overloads and short-circuit currents,as well as protecting the plant from

excessive cable heating caused by over-

loads. Air circuit breakers also providealarm signals for integration into the

fire management system.Molded-case circuit breakers switch

and protect the peripheral electrical cir-

cuit. Like air circuit breakers, they areused to protect from excessive cable

heating caused by overloads and enable

the output of alarms.Semiconductor fuses prevent fires

from occurring when power semicon-

ductors such as IGBTs fail in an uncon-trolled manner. They also protect high-value devices such as frequency

converters and soft starters from the

effects of a short circuit.Residual current monitoring devices

detect ground faults in the electrical

installation by indicating the presenceof residual currents. When such an indi-cation is present, preventive mainte-

nance can be carried out before the

residual current can cause a fire.

Measuring devices for energy moni-toring enable the measurement of the

feed-in quality of the wind turbines andallow the electrical variables of the gen-erator circuit to be monitored. In this

way, overloads and malfunctions can bedetected at an early point in time so that

damage can be prevented.Residual current protective devices are

of crucial importance for the safety of

the maintenance personnel, since they

provide protection against shock cur-

rents in the case of direct and indirect

contact. Protective devices detect resid-ual currents caused by insulation faults,for example. They cause the affected

electrical circuit to be shut down, thus

preventing fires from starting.

Professor Schulz, how is the market

for wind power plants developing

nationally and internationally?

Prof. Dr. Detlef Schulz: Like Den-

mark, Germany is a typical wind

country. One can assume that the

amendment of Germanys RenewableEnergies Act will mean that develop-

ment in offshore wind power genera-tion will also be picking up steam.

Developers may be more reticent in

the near future in Spain and Italy afterstrong expansion in 2011, but Great

Britain will be making major invest-

ments in offshore production. In addi-tion to growth in Germany and Spain,well see major growth worldwide,

particularly in China, the United States,

and India. Canada will be catching up inthe offshore area. Offshore plants are

mainly high-tech, high-output plants

that need to be constructed with maturetechnologies with proven availability

and low susceptibility to failures.

What challenges do you see here for

protective technology?

Schulz:A lot still needs to be done in

offshore wind power generation, par-ticularly to increase availability. In

addition, the maintenance costs for off-shore plants are so high that higher

investment in protective technology isjustified. The tasks to be accomplished

Major Tasks in OffshoreWind Power Generation

Where is the development in wind power leading and what requirements are

to be expected for the electrical engineering and particularly for protective

technology? We spoke with Prof. Dr. Detlef Schulz, a specialist in electrical

power systems at the Helmut Schmidt University / University of the Federal

Armed Forces Hamburg, and expert in sustainable power supply at the

Academy of Sciences in Hamburg, Germany.

take on whole new dimensions when alarge offshore wind farm with up to 200

units of 5 MW each is involved. You

quickly get into the range of 1,000 MW.In wind farms like this, you need to con-

trol residual currents and a wide variety

of internal sources of failure, but also

possible faults in the coupling with thehigh-voltage direct current transmis-

sion system or other types of transmis-sion. Thats a very difficult task that is

not comparable with conventionalpower plant connections. The very long

stretches of cable can produce high

residual currents, and that is a major

challenge for the protective technologyin particular.



7/28

Bus bars can also make an effective con-tribution to fire protection and can be

installed in place of cables in wind turbinesystems. They offer crucial advantages:

compared to PVC-insulated cables, the

sheet-steel enclosures of the bus bars have

a much lower fire load. Depending on theconstruction of the wind turbines and therequirements of the operator, further

monitoring and protective devices that

detect critical system states and enable

preventive intervention can also be used.

Fire detection and extinguishingsystems for emergencies

If a fire occurs despite preventive mea-

sures, highly sensitive smoke, heat, and

fire detectors quickly and effectivelydetect the source of the fire. Modern

automatic extinguishing systems suchas the Sinorix systems from Siemens

use natural extinguishing gases or

water mist to reliably extinguish any

fire. This method reduces damage to

electronics and shortens downtimes.+

A lot still needs to be

done in offshore power

production, particularly

to increase availability.

Prof. Dr. Detlef Schulz

Can you give an example of where

there is particular need for action?

Schulz: In my opinion, not enough

attention is being paid to overvoltage

protection of plant components in

the medium-voltage range. With thetrend toward higher capacities,

everything is developing in the direc-

tion of higher voltage levels. But if

you use medium-voltage generators

and put the whole system on the

medium-voltage level, overvoltageprotection is suddenly in another cat-egory. Here I see a whole new class of

protective technology that still needs

to be greatly expanded for wind

power applications.

What options for risk minimization

are there?

Schulz: In offshore production, saline

mist must be kept away from the plants.

Some systems additionally operate with

overpressure, others with improved corro-

sion protection. Here the problem is

solved locally in the components whether

they are molded, encapsulated, or spe-

cially sealed. For example, transformers

with hermetically sealed designs can be

used. If they are filled with ester fluids,their fire load is reduced. After all, you can

only reduce the fire load by reducing thefire risk of the individual components.

Thank you for speaking with us.

Monitoring

The 5TT34 undervoltage relay monitorsthree-phase systems for undervoltage

without a separate auxiliary voltage andis suited for systems categorized asDIN VDE 0100-718 (structural works foraccommodating large numbers of peo-ple) and DIN VDE 0108-100 (safety light-ing). The internal auxiliary voltage isgenerated from the measurement volt-age of all three phases. When a fault isdetected, the system switches to thesafety power supply. 5TT34 undervolt-age relays also have a fixed reaction timein accordance with the requirements ofDIN VDE 0100-718, as well as a defined

delay and release time. That makesthem particularly suitable for special

applications such as in hospitals orpublic buildings. The function of therelay is checked using a test push but-ton integrated into the device. The un-dervoltage relays have an option forone- and three-phase connection, re-quire very little space (1 MW (modularwidth)), and are easy to install, sinceno separate power supply is required.+

If the temperature increases in control cabinetsdue to power losses of installed components, theservice life and reliability of these devices can begreatly reduced. As a solution to this problem,Siemens offers devices and accessory componentsof the Sivacon 8 MR series for system air-condi-tioning, enabling targeted ventilation and air-con-ditioning of the control cabinets. Filter fans andexhaust filters, for example, generate overpres-sure in the cabinet and are suited for spaces sub-ject to low contaminant loads. Roof fans and roofexhausters are used in wet spaces subject to lowcontaminant loads. They ensure optimal airflow in

the control cabinet. The temperature in the cabi-net can be optimally controlled using cooling de-vices, which are also available for roof installation.

They are used in wet spaces as well as in spacescontaminated with emulsions, dust, or chemicalsubstances. Air-to-air heat exchangers are used inthe same areas. Like cooling devices, they operateon the basis of a dual-circuit cooling system, butwithout the use of coolant, relying instead on thecounter flow principle. +

Based on Varistor5SD7 type 1 lightning arresters protect low-voltage sys-tems from overvoltages and power surges caused by director indirect lightning strikes. As an inexpensive alternative,Siemens offers the type 1 surge arrester now based on va-ristor technology. Compared to spark gaps, the surge pro-tection devices (SPDs) have a reduced discharge capacityand correspond to lightning protection level III and IV. TheN-PE section continues to consist of a spark gap. +


Remote control switches areused in buildings and in switch-gear engineering. They switchin the event of power surgesor impulses and save theswitching position electro-mechanically. Deviceswith direct current con-trol voltage can be usedin special applicationssuch as battery-poweredsystems. Remote control

switches in conjunctionwith push buttons simpli-fy the electrical installa-tion. For example, light

from several locations can beswitched without complex crossand two-way switching. Withthe push-button impulse, theremote control switch changes

its contact position from OFFto ON and back again. In theevent of a power failure, thelast switching position remains

mechanically saved. With special func-tions such as central, group, and seriescontrol, or blinds contact sequences,high-end control tasks can easily be ac-complished as required. 5TT4 1 remotecontrol switches all have VDE certifica-tion marks. Switching is especially quietand adapted to the requirements of res-idential buildings. The devices have aswitching position indicator and areoperated manually. They can later beequipped with an auxiliary switch,

which increases the flexibility of theapplication. +

A new addition to the lineup is the 3NP1compact fuse switch disconnector, a real

all-rounder. It combines the functions

of load switching and disconnection inone system and makes it possible to

switch on, carry, and switch off the rated

current even when overloads occur.The fuse switch disconnector can be

equipped with either electronic or elec-tromechanical fuse monitoring. In addi-tion, it can carry a certain short-circuitcurrent for a certain period of time.

Subordinate electrical devices are safely

disconnected from the system at all

poles and under load. The overload andshort-circuit protection is provided by

LV HRC fuses of size 000 to 3 (630 A) that

are moved out of the device during theswitching operation. The 3NP1 pro-

vides everything we need for our proj-ects, says Bernd Gischel, hardware

engineer at Dressel, taking stock after

the first field installations. It is versa-

tile and can be easily installed. Our cus-

tomers are satisfied theres nothing

standing in the way of using it in otherprojects.

The 3NP1 is in demand in industrial

production as well as in infrastructureand buildings. Typical applications

include the safeguarding of frequencyconverters in combination with semi-

conductor safety fuses, as well as the

safeguarding of machines, subdistribu-tion boards, cables, and leads in distri-bution boards. It is also suitable for usein renewable energy production. The

switch is particularly advantageous

here due to its compact design and high

degree of flexibility, as Gischel con-

firms: The 3NP1 needs only a small

amount of space in the control cabinet,making it suitable for applications

where space is limited.The fuse switch disconnectors can be

installed with particular ease if they can

just be snapped into busbar systems.

Flat, saddle, prism, or box terminals are

available for the cable outgoing feeder.Box terminals enable direct connectionto insulated conductors, which further

accelerates the installation. Retrofitting

is also easy, allowing plant owners to

quickly and flexibly react to changing

operating requirements.

Touch protection

The main task of fuse switch disconnec-tors is to reliably protect plants from

overloads and short circuits, thus

When electrical power distribution is involved, adequate protective

devices are required. A company specializing in automation

technology and switchgear engineering relies on integrated,

coordinated fuse concepts using proven standard components to

protect its electrical engineering systems.

ensuring their availability. Devices likethe 3NP1 offer additional features for

improved protection of personnel andplants.

Even when accessing the rear side,

touch protection included as standard

prevents the user from touching live

parts during installation in busbar sys-tems. Additional cable-connection cov-

ers further increase personal protection

by preventing contact with live conduc-tors. Thanks to large inspection win-

dows, the type and state of the fuses inuse can be easily seen, along with the

isolating distances. This ensures easy

and safe maintenance. Since the fuselinks can reach extremely high temper-atures if they melt, they need to be ableto be removed without being touched.

With the 3NP1, they fall out by them-

selves upon actuation of the unlockingshaft and sideways tilting.

The 3NP1 is unmatched in terms ofsafety, says Gischel in praise of the

sophisticated protection concept. Auxil-iary switches with two installation posi-tions in the basic housing indicate the

switching position. Depending on the

installation position, the auxiliary

switch can switch simultaneously with

the main contacts or on a leading basis.This allows other switchgear and protec-

tive devices to be actuated before the

3NP1 opens or closes the main currentpaths. The fuse switch disconnectors

can also be equipped with electrome-chanical or electronic fuse monitoring

and innovative grid monitoring func-

tions such as for phase failure or under/overvoltages.

Time-tested collaboration

Gischel emphasizes, With the 3NP1,our customers get a flexible and sturdydevice, and, even more important, theycan be sure that their employees and

plants are optimally protected. In addi-tion to the product features, the systemexperts were persuaded by the excellent

collaboration with Siemens, as the CEOconfirms: The product quality, good

delivery performance, and expert

advice are three good reasons to con-

tinue to work together with Siemens.+

Busbartrunkingsystems

Powerdistribution

cables, busbar trunking systems also

feature electromagnetic field emissions

that are three times lower on average,

giving them higher electromagnetic

compatibility (EMC).Further advantages: With the modu-

larly structured busbar trunking sys-

tem, the power distribution in largebuilding complexes can be easily and

reliably planned and quickly installed.

Compared to cable solutions, busbar

trunking systems greatly reduce instal-lation times. This means higher reve-

nue for equal labor and greater added

value. Two installers can completely

install a 26-story building in one week,for example. In operation, faults can

then be found and rectified more

quickly due to the clear installation.

Busbar trunking systems are also very

flexible. If required, they can even bemodified, added to, and replaced whilelive (according to DIN EN 50110-1 / VDE0105-1). Unlike with cables, such work

does not lead to downtime.The Sivacon 8PS product family con-

sists of six busbar trunking systems tomeet a variety of requirements. The

CD-K and BD01 systems are designed for

supplying power to lighting installa-

tions and small loads in the range of 25A to 40 A or 40 A to 160 A. The BD2 bus-bar trunking system is suitable for

applications in the range of 160 A to1,250 A with higher safety requirements,

and the LD system (1,100 A to 5,000 A)for use in exhibition halls, the automo-tive industry, heavy manufacturing, and

A safe and reliable power supply is required

in residential and commercial high-rise

buildings. Standardized and communication-

capable busbar systems offer crucial

advantages in terms of planning, installation,

protection, and flexibility.

Safe power distribution in high-rise buildings

Cable Fires

Prevented

In addition to 24/7 plant availability

and supply reliability over the lon-

gest possible period of time, power

distribution in high-rise buildings

requires a high level of flexibility for

commissioning, operation, and expan-

sion of the entire network. The high

energy volumes and numerous loadspresent challenges in terms of fire pro-tection and efficiency in operation. Forhigh-rise buildings of 8 stories or

higher, busbar trunking systems are

recommended; for buildings over 20

stories in city locations, they have

become almost the only option.

Busbars versus cables

There are several convincing arguments

for using busbar trunking systems

instead of cables. First, they have lowspace requirements. In high-rise build-ings, the supply systems are usually

installed in very tight spaces. While

bending radii, bundling, installation

type, and current carrying capacity lead

to major space requirements, busbar

trunking systems are compact and canbe laid along the contour of the building

structure.In contrast to cable solutions, the bus-

bars type-tested low-voltage switchgear

and controlgear assemblies meeting the

IEC/EN 60439-1 and 2 standards ensurehigh operating safety, short-circuit

strength, and a minimal fire load. Thatmeans a high degree of safety for peo-

ple and the building. Compared to



17/28

ships. The LX system (800 A to 6,300 A)is designed for transmission of large

quantities of power over long distancesin large buildings. Finally, the LR sys-

tem (400 A to 6,150 A) networks parts of

buildings outdoors or is used for tunnel

supply. The communication capabilities

of all Sivacon 8PS systems also enabletheir connection to industrial and build-

ing automation systems. In this way

they support the implementation of

green buildings and represent energyefficiency, design quality, and sustain-

ability.

Configuration in four steps

Labor-intensive calculations and costlyinstallation are a thing of the past for

busbar trunking systems. They are usu-

ally configured in four steps. The mainconductors for apartments without

electric heating are assessed in accor-

dance with DIN 18015-1. This assess-

ment is based on effective output

requirements in kilovolt-amperes. It isimportant whether the hot water is elec-trically heated, since this nearly dou-

bles requirements.The second measure consists of the

verification of the maximum permittedvoltage drop in the unmetered main

power supply system. The verification

can be easily carried out using planningtools such as Simaris design, which cantake detailed data from the upstream

medium-voltage grid into account. Thevoltage drop is calculated at the con-

sumption point that is farthest from the

service connection. This is usually the

busbar outgoing feeder on the highestfloor of a high-rise building.

In a third step, the system is definedwith the rated current of the busbar

enclosures, the degree of protection,

the firewall type (fire resistance classS90 or S120), and the rated current andnumber of outgoing feeder enclosureson the respective floors.

Precise configuration of the entire

vertical line follows. The firewalls are

calibrated in the process. In order for

them to be located in the center of thefire ceilings later on, the room heightsand the respective ceiling thicknesses

need to be precisely calculated. If thereare no plans showing the planned stand-

pipe, a laser distance meter or tape mea-

sure with a length of at least 50 m canbe used to determine the precise geom-etry of the building on-site after the

clearing (coring) of the ceiling open-

ings. The room height determines the

maximum length of the busbar enclo-

sures. +

Solutions that meet therequirements

The BD01 system (40 A to 160 A) ensuresa very easily and flexibly planned powersupply of small loads in the businessesof the shopping plaza. The loads can be

clearly assigned using encoded outgoingfeeder points and enclosures. The reli-

able mechanical and electrical connec-

tion technology ensures fault-free instal-lation. The guided fitting of the outgoing

feeders offers a great amount of protec-tion for operating personnel the outgo-ing feeder points do not open automati-cally until the outgoing feeder enclosures

are fitted, and they close automatically

as soon as the outgoing feeder enclo-

sures are removed. Other advantages:

the outgoing feeder enclosures can be

attached to all system sizes, and theinfeeds can be used as beginning, end, or

center infeeds. That simplifies the plan-ning of the network structure and

reduces warehousing. Many components

for 3-D directional change also enable

the power supply to be adapted to all

building structures as required.

The communication-capable BD2 bus-bar trunking system increases this flex-ibility as well. When used to feed into

the smaller BD01 system, it flexibly

adapts to the building structure.

Designed for applications from 160 A to1,250 A with heightened requirements

for safety and reliability, its tested fire-wall ensures that its function is main-

tained in the event of fire, thus fulfilling

the highest safety standards. The antit-wist safeguard and the guided assembly

during installation, along with sealableoutgoing feeder points that protect

from unauthorized access, provide

additional safety. A terminal block withintegrated compensation for expansionenables easy and fast installation of thesystem. Due to its compact design, it

needs much less space than conven-

tional cable solutions. The communica-tion-capable system is also an excellentsolution in regard to the central require-

ment that operational transparency at

the Emerald Tower be improved. Detec-tion of loads, remote control, remote

monitoring, and lighting control makeit easy to make this a reality. In this way,

Reliability, safety, and efficiency: these are the areas in which

Sivacon 8PS busbar trunking systems set new standards for

power transport and distribution in high-rise buildings for

example, in the elegant 17-story Emerald Tower office and

commercial center in one of the most upscale districts of

Karachi in Pakistan.

Made to Order

The larger the building and the

more heterogeneous its use, the

more complex the requirements

are for a safe power supply. It was

already clear during the planning stage:

as one of the highest buildings in Paki-stan, and with its mix of businesses and

offices, the prestigious Emerald Toweralso needed to meet the highest stan-

dards. Thats why particularly reliable

building technology solutions were

required.The construction company Landtek

Developers was quickly persuaded: In

November 2010, Siemens was able to

prevail over a direct competitor with a

combination of three Sivacon 8PS bus-

bar trunking systems despite the factthat the competitors offer would have

been less expensive in terms of the pur-

chase cost.The Sivacon 8PS systems were able to

score points with their superior fire pro-tection, space efficiency, and operational

cost-efficiency, as well as flexibility andadaptability in use. They are tailor made

to fulfill the wide spectrum of require-

ments in the complex building.

the BD2 busbar trunking system con-

tributes to energy-saving operation and

increased plant availability.The LX busbar trunking system (800

A to 6,300 A) ultimately ensures powerdistribution spanning all floors of the

Emerald Tower, where large quantities

of power need to be transmitted on aflexible basis over long distances. The

compact sandwich construction of the

LX system provides for a low voltage

drop and location-independent currentcarrying capacity, allowing it to opti-

mize operational efficiency. Safety and

fire protection also play a central role.

Equipped with aluminum enclosures

with a high degree of protection, the

system represents a low fire load,

ensures high corrosion resistance, andis thus ideal for use in the subtropical

climate of Karachi. Due to the conductorconfigurations with double N conduc-

tors and clean earth, it is also very suit-able for use for loads sensitive to inter-ference and guarantees optimal plant

protection.

Many advantages

With the decision in favor of the modu-larly structured, standardized, and

communication-capable Sivacon 8PS

busbar trunking systems, Landtek

Developers is banking on a number ofadvantages: maximum reliability of thepower supply, the highest degree of

safety (especially in case of fire protec-tion), optimized operational efficiency

through minimized voltage losses,

quick and space-saving installation dueto the compact design, and safe and

simple operation, as well as flexibility

and adaptability to changing conditions

such as future building expansions

the system can grow with the require-

ments.In the selection of the Sivacon 8PS

busbar trunking system, the strong

presence and customer proximity of

Siemens Pakistan also played an impor-tant role. The close collaboration

between the customer and manufac-

turer allowed the optimal solution to be

found for reliable, safe, and efficient

Manufacturers are to achieve these

results using integrated systems and

solutions. To face these challenges,

Aksa decided in favor of Siemens. WithSiemens we have a reliable partner on

our side, one that offers integrated solu-

tions and a wide product range for com-prehensive energy management, says

Levent Arabacolu, project manager atAksa Group.

Optimal interaction

In the plant in Yalova, reliable measur-ing devices and intelligent software

interact in an optimal manner. During

the entire 24/7 operation, 425 7KM

PAC3100 and 7KM PAC4200 measuringdevices detect the energy flows, provide

precise and reliable power consumption

data, and measure voltages, currents,

and outputs. The measurement resultsare continuously recorded, saved, and

analyzed using the PC-based energy

monitoring software powermanager

from the Sentron product family.In this way energy flows can be visu-

alized, and the energy consumption ofthe plant becomes transparent. This

allows Aksa to find potential for saving

energy and respond appropriately. Theuse of the PCS 7 process control systemand the WinCC SCADA system from theSimatic product family enables optimalprocess control and tracking of the

material flow.

Energy efficient and robust

The manufacture of acrylic fibers

requires above all heat and movement,

and both need an enormous amount ofenergy. From granules to finished acrylic

threads, the first step at the Aksa plantinvolves an extruder. The granules are

subjected to high temperatures and

melted there. Then movement comes

into play. The molten mass is trans-

ported to the spinning area, where highpressure is used to press the liquid gran-ulate through small nozzles, where it

then solidifies into threads through air

cooling. In the last step, the finished

acrylic threads are wound onto coils forfurther processing. These complex pro-

cesses require efficient drive technology.

Downtime would lead to dire conse-quences both for the bottom line of

the operator and for the energy balanceof the plant. When production stops

occur, the spinning nozzles can dry out,

With the implementation of a newly integrated energy management system,

the Aksa Group, the worlds largest acrylic fiber manufacturer, has responded

to increasing requirements for efficient production. Siemens accompanies

the textile producer through all phases of the optimization process.

The Turkish Aksa Group is the worldslargest producer of acrylic fibers.Roughly 300,000 tons of fibers areproduced in its plant near Yalova, a cityin western Turkey. These fibers are used

throughout the world in carpets, blan-

kets, sweaters, and socks. The technicalrequirements for production, with

regard to reliability, quality, and energy

efficiency, are very high. Due to increas-ing prices for raw materials, energy rep-

resents a cost factor that is becomingmore and more important. The interna-tionally binding energy management

standard ISO 50001, which will go intoeffect starting in 2013, compels the

manufacturing industry, of which Aksais a part, to continuously improve oper-ational energy efficiency.

duction, wasted time, and high costs. To

prevent this, Aksa depends on SiemensSiemosyn energy-saving motors, com-

bined with Sinamics inverters on a

direct current busbar with an infeed

unit on the input. This ensures contin-

uous operation even in the event of volt-age drops and minimizes the risk of

downtime. Thanks to the motors in use

from the Simotics family, which corre-spond to the international efficiency

standard IE2, the machines in the Aksaplant operate 25 to 30 percent more effi-ciently than conventional drives in tex-tile fiber production.

The robustness and long service life

of the machines was a decisive factor.

In spite of extremely high temperatures

and the aggressive environment in theplant, the machines must not

decline in performance or

lose efficiency. Energy-

saving motors of theefficiency classes IE2and IE3 from Siemens

fulfill these require-ments and reduce

signs of wear or fail-ure to a minimum.

The use of Siemens technology in theAksa plant thus makes a crucial contri-bution to efficient and safe acrylic fibermanufacturing in Turkey and to 11 per-cent of worldwide production. +

ronment those are the great challenges

of the future. This also applies to compa-nies that want to continue to be success-ful on the market. European standard

DIN EN 16001 and the internationally

applicable standard ISO 50001 definecompulsory criteria for companies to

Light+Building 2012 will emphasize the

digitalization of light and buildings, as

well as the building as a green power plant.

Digitalization means more comfort andinnovative solutions for creative design as

well as safety in residential and nonresi-

dential buildings and all while attaining

enormous savings on the energy cost side.

Hannover Messe is putting the newest

industry know-how on display. For 60

years, it has been the leading marketplace

for pioneering technologies, materials,

and ideas. The core themes of 2012 include

metropolitan solutions and energy effi-

ciency in industrial processes.

Trade fair preview 2012: two important trade fairs announced for spring

Hot Topic: Energy Efficiency

W

ith Light+Building, the worlds

largest trade fair for light and

smart buildings, and the Han-

nover Messe, two important trade fairsare scheduled for spring 2012.

Energy efficiency will be the most

important topic at both events. In the

modern world, sustainable use of

energy is moving increasingly to center

stage. For years, Siemens has been

offering solutions and products that

allow energy to be saved and used more

efficiently, particularly in the area of

electrical installation in buildings as

well as in industry.

Busbar trunking systemsSIVACON 8PS CD-K systemThe busbar for lighting systems and small consumers

s

The CD-K busbar trunking system is ideally

suited for the efficient power supply of

lighting systems and small consumers.

The expandable system stands for flexible

planning from 25 A to 2 x 40 A.

The light grey painted CD-K system provides

an emergency and mains power supply in

one single enclosure. Thanks to its attrac-

tive design, it is used wherever good looks

are important, in office buildings, depart-

ment stores, supermarkets or furniture

stores, for example. The CD-K busbar

trunking system is notable for maximized

flexibility and particularly easy installation

and dismantling if requirements change.

Integrated communication solutions for

intelligent networking with the building

management by Siemens ensure an

extremely energy-efficient future.
