Building on the strategic alliance between Siemens and Bentley Equipments that was made public in November 2016, Siemens' Power Monitoring Division and Bentley Systems have announced an arrangement to collectively establish services to increase digitalization of planning, design, and procedures for power energies and commercial power customers. Bentley Systems is a global leader in software application options for advancing the design, construction, and operations of facilities. The initial of the new offerings will certainly incorporate Bentley Equipments' energy design and geographic details systems (GIS) capacities with Siemens' Power System Simulation (PSS) Suite, with particular services for power transmission, power distribution, and commercial centers. Incorporating these 2 platforms supplies customers with Bentley's competence in 3D framework possession modeling and GIS with Siemens' knowledge and prominent experience in energy system planning and simulation.

" The energy industry pattern toward decentralization represents a considerable obstacle along with a terrific opportunity for power producers and customers alike, and our calculated alliance with Bentley Equipment will certainly assist our customers better utilize this changing landscape via the combination of our effective remedies," claimed Ralf Christian, CEO of the Siemens Energy Monitoring Department. "Siemens and Bentley share a commitment to openness, interoperability, and the usual objective helpful our customers drive the digital enterprise across their supply chains."

Bentley Systems Chief Product Officer Bhupinder Singh claimed, "We are excited to work together with Siemens in order to help our power energies customers development in 'going digital.' Siemens' proficiency in electrical power systems intending and simulation are the perfect complement to our GIS and framework engineering options, and we will collaborate to bring brand-new advancements and substantial business advantages to our individuals around the world."

Dispersed energy sources (DER), like microgrids and their off-grid on-grid setting, call for more advanced planning techniques to guarantee system reliability and security. Bentley's OpenUtilities remedy for utility power grid design and GIS will certainly be incorporated with Siemens' PSS Collection for power system intending to provide smooth workflows and data combination, while sustaining ideal network design for both functional and economic performance. Via a linked data environment, energy designers will certainly currently have the added advantage of sharing critical design info to reduce design time and construction prices to provide optimal and detailed utility network updates.

On top of that, the Siemens Bentley effort will offer smart Siemens elements for very easy placement into Bentley's Substation application for 3D modeling, while smart electric symbols will certainly offer needed information for comprehensive reports in a substation's 2D schematic format capacities. Bentley individuals will have accessibility to a thorough Siemens' parts directory via Bentley's cloud services.
