UW BIASCA: Engineering and production from a single source

Our long-standing business partner Siemens Schweiz AG has been awarded the contract to replace the existing 220kV AIS (air-insulated switchgear) in the BIASCA substation (canton: Ticino) with a new turnkey 220kV GIS (gas-insulated switchgear). The new system comprises a double busbar with a total of 11 bays, a reserve bay and a cross-coupler.

Realisation

Thanks to the close cooperation between our HEITEC sites in Erlangen and Slovakia, we were able to offer and implement a comprehensive solution for hardware engineering and cabinet construction - from the concept, base design and engineering to the production of 27 protection and control cabinets through to acceptance.

In August 2024, the factory acceptance test was carried out in Slovakia by the HEITEC team together with the project manager from Siemens Schweiz AG in accordance with precisely defined acceptance criteria. All steps of the factory acceptance were recorded in a written acceptance protocol and signed jointly. The control cabinets were then transported from HEITEC Slovakia to Switzerland.

    Digital solutions for a sustainable energy future

    We supported our customer Kaiser Lacke GmbH in making its energy technology future-proof and sustainable. A detailed overview of energy consumption was created at the main site in Nuremberg/Fürth by comprehensively digitising the energy meters. A weather forecast model calculates photovoltaic power generation in advance and enables optimised production planning. This data forms the basis for well-founded decisions to optimise the energy system, meaning that Kaiser Lacke is well equipped for future challenges in the energy sector.

    Sector-coupled hybrid power plant

    We have been advising our client NürnbergMesse GmbH on a sustainable energy supply since 2021. An innovative hybrid power plant is to be realised by 2028 as part of the REMBup research project. This will combine various CO2-neutral technologies to ensure a sustainable and efficient energy supply. The digital twin of the plant will optimise the operation of the entire system in future and enable data-based control. State-of-the-art energy forecasts using machine learning and optimisation methods will be used. The project demonstrates not only the technical, but also the economic feasibility of a climate-friendly energy supply.

    Energy optimisation of an energy-plus housing estate at system level

    The aim of the project is to holistically optimise the use of energy in an energy-plus housing estate. By intelligently coordinating the electricity, heating and cooling sectors and taking into account generation, consumption and storage technologies, the aim is to maximise energy efficiency. A particular focus is on optimising the use of grid capacities in the residential area and taking regulatory framework conditions into account. A cross-sectoral real-time simulation model of the residential area forms the basis for the analyses. The coupling with real measurement data enables the development of a digital twin that allows extensive simulations and the optimisation of algorithms even before real operation.
