Siemens unveils eco-friendly Blue GIS Switchgear

Siemens? sustainable and innovative blue GIS portfolio helps electrical grids transition to eco-friendly networks. Alongside proven vacuum-interrupter technology, the switchgear uses Clean Air, based on natural-origin gases, is free of fluorinated and PFAS gases, and has a global warming potential (GWP) below 1. By combining Clean Air for insulation with Siemens? proven vacuum-interrupter technology, these blue GIS switchgear help customers to reduce their carbon footprint.

?Our blue GIS range supports our customers? efforts to create a more sustainable future,? said Stephan May, CEO of Electrification and Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. ?In order to do so, intelligent and sustainable products, which are designed to be future proof, are crucial for utilities and industries in their endeavour to decarbonise and digitalise grids, and ultimately achieve ambitious targets and sustainability goals ahead of regulation. Our 8DAB 24 and NXPLUS C 24 blue GIS systems provide exactly that, while building on technology that has been proven for more than 40 years.?

The blue GIS switchgear incorporates software from Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform that enables customers to accelerate their digital transformation easier, faster, and at scale. Switchgear integrated smart sensors provide asset transparency and cloud-based analysis methods enable efficient and effective predictive maintenance support which reduces downtime and maintenance costs.

In March 2023, Siemens announced a EUR 30 million investment in its Frankfurt-Fechenheim site in Germany, where blue GIS is developed, tested, and manufactured. A new fully automated warehouse and a 1,200 square meter production area will allow the company to meet growing demand for environmentally friendly medium-voltage switchgear. The factory runs solely on green electricity, has a significantly reduced waste to landfill rate, and a sustainable packaging process, contributing to the many measures Siemens is taking to cut the manufacturing carbon footprint.
