  • Siemens Receives Follow-Up Order for H-Class Gas Turbines in Mexico Erlangen, 2016-Jan-13
    Power and Gas Siemens receives follow-up order for H-class gas turbines in Mexico Erlangen, 2016-Jan-13 • Siemens to supply key components for Empalme II combined cycle plant • Six H-class gas turbines ordered by Mexico since spring 2015 • Siemens has received an order to supply two SGT6-8000H gas turbines and two SGen6-2000H generators for the Empalme II combined cycle power plant in Sonora, Mexico. The plant will have an installed electrical capacity of 791 megawatts (MW). The customer is a consortium consisting of the Spanish engineering and construction companies Duro Felguera and Elecnor and the Mexican subsidiary Elecnor Mexico. The operator of the plant will be the state-owned power provider Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE). Commercial operation is scheduled for April 2018. Additionally, Siemens will provide technical assistance during construction and commissioning of the plant. Since the spring of 2015, Siemens has received orders for six H-class gas turbines from Mexico. Since the spring of 2015, Siemens has received orders for six model SGT6-8000H gas turbines from Mexico. "CFE is becoming a pioneer in the integration of environmentally-compatible and resource-saving power generation solutions in Latin America. With these steps, Mexico will become an energy hub in the region and a reference for other similar projects", declared José Aparicio, Vice President of the Siemens Power and Gas Division for Latin America. A total of six model SGT6-8000H gas turbines are to be installed in the Empalme I (770 MW), Empalme II (791 MW) and Valle de México II (615 MW) combined cycle power plants.

The boost in performance we’ve Atos stock to reinforce the relationship. seen, combined with the worry-free upkeep of P6, has saved us time, money, CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS and frustration.” Jon Davis, Measurable Increase in Performance: Atos initially came to LoadSpring Business Manager for Siemens Gas and Power seeking help supporting Primavera P6 for Siemens. Project managers at Siemens Gas and Power were experiencing sluggish software performance. Once P6 was hosted on LoadSpring Cloud Platform, the PMs saw an immediate improvement in performance. Impressed by these reports, Siemens ran performance testing comparing LoadSpring Cloud Platform hosted P6 to its locally hosted version. LoadSpring’ hosted P6 averaged 10x faster than Siemens’ locally hosted version, based on a series of commonly performed tasks. This performance increase saved over an hour of wait time per user per week. At 17 staff-hour savings each week, the move to LoadSpring Cloud Platform paid for itself. The increase in project efficiency and reduction in frustration added even higher value to that equation. Feeding and Watering of P6: Another barrier to overcome was the day-to-day maintenance, upkeep, and administration of P6.

Sir William Siemens, ca. 1860 Introduction – An engineer with plans of his own Siemens & Halske was founded in the mid-19th century, the era of Germany’s early industrialization. This was a time when German industry endeavored to get industrialization underway at home and catch up to the British model. This was most successful in technologies that were new at the time, like electrical telegraphy. In any event, the innovations in telegraphy produced by the com- pany that Werner von Siemens founded in 1847 were without doubt on the same level as those of the British.
