Totally Integrated PowerThe power supply system is more or less the “vital artery” for all electrically operated building installations. If it works reliably and efficiently, the power flows are secured and thus so too isthe operation of all electrical equipment. Electrical power dis-tribution therefore requires integrated solutions. Our answer: Totally Integrated PowerTM (TIP). This includes tools and sup-port for planning and configuration and a complete, optimallyharmonized product and system portfolio for integrated powerdistribution from medium-voltage switchgear right to socket outlets.

The power distribution products and systems can be interfaced to building or industrial automation systems (Totally Integrated Automation) via communication-capable circuit breakers and modules, allowing the full potential for optimization that anintegrated solution offers to be exploited throughout the productcycle – from planning right through to installation and operation.

The technical manuals andnumerous software tools comprise a variety of information on electrical powerdistribution and provide the technicalknowledge necessary to ensure successand competitiveness.

Design and planningSupport from manuals and software tools.

Major potential for optimizationThe greatest potential for optimizing apower supply system is present in the initial planning phase. Here, a decision ismade early on as to what savings potentialexists for the installation process and whatcosts will be generated during subsequentuse. The cost/benefit ratio offered by inte-grated planning is constantly improving incomparison with conventional planningmethods.

Faster planningWe support your various planning phaseswith technical manuals, software tools andonline specification texts. With appropriatespecialist knowledge, you can save con-siderable time, especially in routine tasks,and focus more on innovative solutions.

Savings potential in building use. Comfort and safety during cost-efficient operation.

Safe and reliable power supplyA safe and reliable power supply – roundthe clock if necessary – is one of the funda-mental requirements for cost-effective,fault-free operation. The link between thepower distribution and the building or pro-cess control system ensures that downtimeis minimised in the event of a fault, thussaving you outage costs in service and production. With its products and systems,Totally Integrated Power forms the basisfor this functionality and allows you tomake changes to building use easily.

Use and operationSafety, comfort and flexibility in infrastructure and buildings.

High system availability thanks to selectivity

Thanks to SIMARIS design, a dimensioningtool for electrical power distribution thathas been a proven success for many years,you can design the entire electrical infra-structure of the building in a selectivemanner. In the event of a short circuit, this safeguards the power supply with only minimum damage and limits systemdowntime and a possible power outage in buildings.

Energy management: leverage for more energy-efficiency in buildings and processes.

Improved energy-efficiency for buildings and processes

Siemens provides the foundations for anenergy management system and enablesyou to cut energy costs. Several energy-optimizing measures and leverage effectsare available to help you achieve this.Whether used individually or combined systematically, some have an impact onthe amount of work required (influence on the kilowatt hour rate), while others affect the connected load (influence onthe demand rate).

Promoting awareness of energy and the environment

Lasting success is not a result of isolatedchanges but comprehensive energy management at all levels: only when youhave mastered the interconnections be-tween the application, power distributionand automation levels can you implementthe best energy solution for your operation.Whether it is for infrastructure or industry,the more efficient use of energy makeseveryone a winner, because every unusedkilowatt of electric power reduces energycosts and lowers CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.

Sustainable energy management Optimum leverage for lowering operating costs.

HighlightsCentral display and evaluation of all measured values

We can meet all your needs for efficientenergy management. The powermanagersoftware monitors, processes and archivesmeasured values and displays them in a clearly laid-out manner. The data is providedby communication-capable low-voltagepower distribution components such aspower monitoring devices PAC and circuitbreakers 3WL/3VL. It is possible to forwardthe data to building management systemssuch as DESIGO INSIGHT. With the add-on SIMATIC powerrate for WinCC and PCS 7,and device-specific block libraries, variousenergy management functions and low-voltage power distribution components can be incorporated into processing and manufacturing industry systems.

The supply network operator feeds medium voltage to the medium-voltage switchgear located in the base-ment. This ensures safe and cost-efficient power distribution in the building and distributes power to thetransformer. Siemens offers gas- and air-insulated switchgear for all kinds of requirements and applications.They are type-tested in accordance with IEC 62271-200.

Our complete range for electrical power distribution

Medium-voltage switchgear

Protection and bay control units protect the primary equipment by fast switching. They protect the power sys-tem, the generators and machines by selective fault tripping in the event of a fault. The complete SIPROTECproduct family for line, motor and generator protection offers you an integrated solution with extensive pro-tection and control functionality as well as extremely flexible communication options.

SIPROTEC protection technology

Energy automation with the SICAM PAS (Power Automation System) substation control system meets highrequirements in terms of immunity, reliability, isolation, real-time resolution and secure data transmission.SICAM PAS is an open system and is the first to support the new IEC 61850 as communication standardbetween field and substation level.

Energy automation

Transformers convert medium voltage to the low voltage required to operate the power loads. GEAFOL trans-formers are flame-retardant and self-extinguishing and do not give off any toxic gases in case of fire. Thismakes them particularly suitable for use where distribution transformers in the immediate vicinity of humanbeings must guarantee maximum safety.

GEAFOL transformers

Electrical power is distributed via cables or busbar trunking systems. Thanks to their high short-circuitstrength and minimal fire load, busbar trunking systems are considerably safer than cables. If the use ofspace changes, flexible modifications and expansions during operation are possible.

SIVACON busbar trunking systems

The low-voltage switchboards SIVACON S8 provide maximum safety for human beings and equipment thanksto design verification by verification test according to IEC 61439-2 and an arc fault test. In addition, a type-tested connection to the busbar trunking systems is available.
