Presentation · EN — Ten-slide Siemens Energy executive-level (C-suite) presentation introducing the Sensproducts portfolio of intelligent, sensor-equipped grid assets under the tagline 'Reliability. Flexibility. Performance.' The deck argues the business case for asset digitalization along three value pillars: reliability (a power-transformer failure-mode breakdown — 40% windings, 27% tap changer, 17% bushings — showing why condition data matters), performance (more than 40% of maintenance activities can be automated or eliminated with an intelligent asset management system, against up to 200 yearly time-based activities without reliable monitoring), and flexibility (up to 10% additional revenue by controlled overloading of a power transformer without compromising lifetime, and up to 10 years additional lifetime with 5 °K lower winding temperature). A sustainability slide adds the gas-insulated-switchgear case: SF6 is described as having 23,500 times the greenhouse effect of CO2, and AI-based prediction of gas density is credited with up to 20% OPEX savings. The deck closes with the software roadmap (Sensformer SelfCare, sustainability reporting, system digital twin, autonomous substations and grids) and the digital-platform proposition: available on all devices, flexible subscription models (SelfCare, IEEE standard model, digital twin, dissolved gas analysis), secure integration via SensAPI and IBM Maximo under ISO 27001 / NERC CIP / IEC 62443, with power transformers, distribution transformers, gas-insulated switchgear, circuit breakers and bushings on one digital platform. It is a value-proposition deck, not a datasheet — it contains no equipment ratings table.
The presentation opens under the Sensproducts tagline 'Reliability. Flexibility. Performance.' (slide 1) and frames the argument on slide 2: 'Your substation assets are critical elements to ensure business and operational performance.' Three value pillars — Reliability, Flexibility and Performance — are set over a rendering of substation equipment (air-insulated switchyard, power transformer, gas-insulated switchgear) overlaid with a digital data wave.
'Ensuring reliability means securing your business operations' (slide 3). The slide quantifies power-transformer failure modes in a donut chart around a power-transformer rendering; the deck attributes the data to S. Tenbohlen, 'Diagnostik elektrischer Betriebsmittel 2014', 6. ETG-Fachtagung, Nov. 25, 2014, Berlin, Germany. Values as printed:
| Failure mode | Share |
|---|---|
| Windings | 40% |
| TAP changer | 27% |
| Bushings | 17% |
| Lead exit | 7% |
| Others | 6% |
| Core | 3% |
'Performance driven assets eliminate unnecessary activity and expenses' (slide 4), illustrated with a power-transformer example and the question 'What if your asset could tell you what it needs?'. Three figures are given, attributed to the Siemens Energy Condition Assessment Council: more than 200 relevant failure modes are to be inspected or monitored on a recurring basis; up to 200 time-based maintenance activities should be executed yearly without a reliable monitoring system; and more than 40% of maintenance activities can be automated or eliminated with an intelligent asset management system.
'Adapting to dynamic conditions maximizes return on investment' (slide 5), again with a power-transformer example set against dynamic loads such as wind, solar, data centers, storage and e-mobility (shown as icons). Two claims are printed: up to 10% additional revenue by controlled overloading of a power transformer without compromising lifetime, and up to 10 years additional lifetime with 5 °K lower winding temperature. The slide's source note reads: 'Siemens Energy case studies. Loss of life goes down by 50% when Oil/Winding temperature reduces 5°K.' Companion charts show load raised above 100% nameplate for additional revenue while hot-spot temperature is kept at transformer aging = 1.
'Sustainability becomes a major business driver' (slide 6), with an example for a gas-insulated switchgear. As printed: 'SF6 is 23,500 more than CO2' — i.e. a greenhouse effect 23,500 times that of CO2 — 'and described often as the worst greenhouse gas.' Monitoring gas density can improve reliability and reduce risks of penalties for SF6 emissions, and up to 20% OPEX savings are claimed with AI-based prediction of gas density. The slide attributes its sources to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and Siemens Energy case studies.
'What is next? New software features increase the value of your assets over time' (slide 8). The roadmap starts with Sensformer SelfCare — autonomous condition-based maintenance, generation of prescriptive work orders, calculation of health indication, prediction of time to failure, and seamless integration into IBM Maximo — followed by sustainability reporting and recommendations, a system digital twin for optimal operational decisions, and, furthest out, autonomous substations and grids. Thumbnails show the SelfCare maintenance dashboard and an automatically generated monitoring-maintenance-request notification.
'Monitoring is simple, we help you to take actions!' (slide 9). The platform proposition: built for value generation on the three pillars; available on all devices (desktop, tablet, mobile); flexible subscription models spanning SelfCare, IEEE standard model, digital twin and dissolved gas analysis; secure and easy to integrate — ISO 27001, NERC CIP and IEC 62443 are cited, with SensAPI and IBM Maximo as integration paths; and all assets in one digital platform: power transformer, distribution transformer, gas-insulated switchgear, circuit breaker, bushings and more.
The slide also carries a 'Designed with customers for customers' block, and slide 7 presents four reference installations of Sensformer and Sensgear fleets across wind power, transmission and PV solar applications; the referenced operators are named on those slides and are therefore withheld here per the catalog's customer-privacy guardrail.
