Siemens Turkey introduced its high-tech digital products and solutions that offer resource and cost savings at the Energy Efficiency Forum and Exhibition, Turkey's largest event in its field. Siemens Turkey, which provides energy savings of up to 90 percent with its unique portfolio for energy efficiency, participated in the 10th Annual Meeting held in Lütfi Kırdar on 11-12 April. At the Energy Efficiency Forum and Exhibition, it introduced its innovative, environmentally friendly products and solutions. The event was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources with the theme " Energy Efficiency as a Resource-Hidden Treasure in Energy" . At the fair, Siemens Turkey's stand developed with a focus on digitalization and introduced its products and solutions for every field from buildings to electricity networks, from energy to the industrial sector attracted attention. Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Fatih Dönmez, TRNC Minister of Economy and Energy Özdil Nami, Malta Minister of Energy and Water Joseph Mizzi also visited the booth and received information from Siemens Turkey officials. Siemens Turkey contributes to energy efficiency Siemens Turkey has achieved energy savings of TL 283 million with nearly one thousand 200 energy efficiency projects realized in the last four years. This savings means 915,000 tons less carbon dioxide emissions and the equivalent contribution to 268,000 tree plantings . Reminding that Siemens is working in this field even when the issue of energy efficiency is perceived as a social responsibility project, Siemens Turkey Energy Efficiency Coordinator Hakan Olcay stated the following about Siemens' role in the energy efficiency sector: "Today, energy efficiency is not a choice, it is a necessity. Companies that invest in efficient energy to operate more competitively, cost-effectively open the door to unique opportunities. At Siemens, we are able to meet the energy needs of every sector flawlessly with our innovation focus, expertise and integrated portfolio. We aim to make an entire ecosystem, not just our customers and partners, work energy-efficiently." Innovative products and solutions Siemens Turkey, which contributes to society and economy by focusing on electrification, automation and digitalization, introduced products at the fair include:

• Smart Thermostat

The new generation Smart Thermostat from Siemens optimizes energy consumption and achieves energy savings of up to 30% thanks to its 'Green Leaf' feature. The Siemens Smart Thermostat, which stands out with its interface and user-friendly design that is in constant communication with the environment, can be controlled remotely with the mobile application. Thanks to its intelligent algorithm and 6 different sensors – temperature, humidity, brightness, proximity, presence and air quality – it recognizes its environment in less than 24 hours.

• SIESTORAGE

Today, the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid and the density of distributed generation facilities are changing the structure of electricity grids. SIESTORAGE energy storage solution developed by Siemens; energy fluctuations during renewable energy production, imbalance between production and consumption, instability of the grid and decrease in power quality eliminate problems. Offering a large-scale solution for energy companies, grid operators, industrial facilities, facilities in city centers and infrastructure facilities, SIESTORAGE can be adapted in accordance with special demands thanks to its modular structure while saving energy in enterprises.

• Cogeneration, Trigeneration and Biomass

In an increasingly difficult competitive environment, it is increasingly important for industrial sector players to manage their processes effectively and efficiently. Efficient cogeneration systems, which offer solutions in this regard, offer a reliable energy supply, systems integrated into environmentally friendly energy policies and efficiency in all processes while reducing total energy costs. With its comprehensive experience in this field, Siemens Turkey provides cogeneration-trigeneration solutions needed by industrial facilities; It contributes with a wide range of products consisting of gas turbines, steam turbines and gas engines. Siemens, a pioneer in industrial energy production; With 400 MW of power, it provides gas and steam turbines to the largest cogeneration plants in Turkey and steam turbines to Turkey's important biomass plants.

• Energy Efficiency Analysis

Siemens' modular, cloud-based Energy Efficiency Analytics solution increases efficiency with energy monitoring and analysis capability. In the solution, which is quickly implemented in 3 steps, the current situation of the enterprise is first determined. Then, measuring devices, sensors, communication devices are installed at the necessary points in the enterprise and the data is transferred to the cloud system safely. After the system infrastructure is installed, energy efficiency points are discovered by analyzing the data.

• Energy Performance Contracts

Energy Performance Contracts commit to ensuring that investments in Siemens solutions will pay for themselves in a short period of time. Siemens' innovative and end-to-end solutions reduce operating costs by saving energy in many different areas such as heating-cooling, air conditioning, lighting, energy efficiency applications in buildings and industry. The investments made provide significant savings, allowing the equipment in a business to be renewed, to increase its performance and to improve it technologically. In the panels organized within the scope of the event, Siemens shared the new trends in energy efficiency with the participants. Volker Dragon, Senior Director of Building Technology, Trends and Industrial Affairs, Siemens AG Switzerland, He spoke at the panel titled "Success Factors and Barriers in EPS Market Development". In the panel titled "Benefits of Storage System in Energy Management" held on the second day of the event, Siemens Turkey Sales Manager Oğuzhan Çayırezmez shared examples of applications realized with Siemens' SIESTORAGE technology. In the "Cloud-Based Big Data Analysis in Energy Efficiency" panel held on the same day, Siemens Turkey Energy Management Innovation Manager Yusuf Kaya conveyed the impact of big data in energy efficiency, the importance of data analysis and the solutions offered by Siemens in this field.
