High-voltage substations
High-voltage substations, the node points of today’s complex power transmission infrastructure, play a key role in meeting this demand safely and reliably. Siemens supplies them on a turnkey basis. Wherever you are, Siemens is your reliable partner for the one-stop planning and construction of customized, state-of-the-art high-voltage substations. |

Flexible AC Transmission Systems
The growing number of small, decentralized power plants such as solar, wind, and biogas plants is making it much more difficult for grid operators to ensure reliable and stable grid operation. Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) are the perfect solution for increasing the reliability of AC grids, improving power quality, and boosting transmission efficiency. Siemens Gas and Power supports customers around the world with innovative FACTS to help them master the challenges of energy transitions. |

High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Transmission Solutions
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems are becoming more and more important in an energy landscape that is characterized by increasing digitalization, decarbonization, and distributed generation. HVDC technology offers the most efficient means of transmitting large amount of power over long distances, help connect green power to the grid, and stabilize three-phase-grids. |

Power transmission lines
One result of the increasing expansion of renewable energy sources is the transformation of power generation structures. This in turn is leading to new demands on electricity transmission, and thus also on the network infrastructure. Because more electricity is being fed in from fluctuating renewable energy sources and most generation is remote from the load centers, it has become essential to reinforce and expand the power transmission network. Other key factors driving the need for network expansion include an increase in cross-border electricity exchanges between countries, the changes in conventional power station locations, and increasing urbanization. More overhead lines are not always the method of choice. The focus is increasingly on underground electricity transmission solutions. Siemens has a range of solutions on offer in this area: gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL) and extensive services for high-voltage cable systems. |
