Siemens partnered with Microsoft and FuelCell Energy to design, engineer and install equipment and software, including a power monitoring solution, for the nation’s first zero-carbon, waste-to-energy data center in Cheyenne, WY. The project uses biogas methane produced by common waste byproducts at the nearby Dry Creek wastewater facility to power the fuel cell system. The fuel cell system then converts the biogas into electricity to power the Microsoft data center.

Siemens helped a large convention center with the expansion to their power monitoring system. It enabled the facility to proactively plan for and manage their power systems during large events such as conventions, concerts, and sports events. They are also now able to accurately track and recover facility energy costs associated with these events, eliminating the city’s exposure to unanticipated utility costs.

A major university located in Georgia is one of the state’s largest consumers of electrical energy. The challenge was in getting students to understand how their behavior drives energy usage and key measures that can be taken to reduce energy consumption. To achieve this goal, the university needed a cost effective method to collect data from the new dorms they were building on campus. They also wanted a company to collect energy usage data from their building management system (BAS) and display it locally around the campus, as well as on the internet. Siemens won the award for the electrical distribution
equipment for the new dorms and designed a solution to use the advanced web based features of the Siemens 9510 meter and its unique Modbus Master capability, to seamlessly provide data to a third party web hosting
service.
