They were among 96 students overall selected to compete in regional competitions across the country this month out of a pool of more than 1,600 projects submitted for the competition this year.
Several students have been named National Finalists in the Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology after earning top spots in regional competitions, the nation’s premier science research competition for high school students which seeks to promote excellence by encouraging students to undertake individual or team research projects.įor the 2016 Siemens Competition, 2,146 students (1271 individuals, 304 2-person teams, 89 three-person teams) submitted applications from 46 states plus the District of Columbia and 7 countries with more than 1,600 projects submitted for consideration. However, later add-on of steam turbines is planned to expand the units to combined cycle configurations. All five of these turbine-generator sets will be initially commissioned as simple-cycle gas-turbine power plant units. Three of the machines are destined for Garri Power Station in the North of the Sudanese Capital Khartoum, while the remaining two units will generate electric power further east in Port Sudan on the country’s Red Sea coast. In addition to the five E-class gas turbines, Siemens’ scope of supply also comprises five associated SGen5-100A generators as well as Siemens’ SPPA-T3000 control systems. All five power plant units are scheduled to already commence commercial operation at the end of 2017. These machines will deliver a combined electrical generating capacity of some 850 megawatts for the Sudanese national grid. Siemens signed an agreement in Berlin with Sudan’s state-run energy provider Sudanese Thermal Power Generating Company (STPGC) to supply five SGT5-2000E gas turbines. A sister ship is expected to be delivered in spring 2017. Siemens and logistics partner deugro organization celebrated the delivery of the ship with customers and representatives of the European offshore wind industry, in the Danish harbor of Esbjerg. The 141-meter long vessel can carry multiple 8- megawatt nacelles per trip and will connect Siemens’ coming manufacturing site in Cuxhaven, Germany with installation harbors in the North and Baltic Seas. It fulfills the needs for cost effective transportation of the large nacelles used in Siemens’ direct drive offshore wind turbines. Now the company has commissioned its first specialized transport vessel, the Rotra Vente. Sea transportation and Roll on-Roll off-loading (Ro-Ro) are both key in Siemens’ new offshore logistics concept launched in 2015.
Shipping to the first offshore wind project Race Bank is expected in early 2017. Now, the state-of-the-art factory has completed the first 75-meter-long blades which are currently stored on racks on site.
The site at Alexandra Docks has been transformed in under two years from a derelict industrial wasteland to a busy high-tech manufacturing hub. S iemens Corporation inaugurated the new rotor blade factory for offshore wind turbines in Hull, U.K., in an event attended by the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Greg Clark and representatives of the local community. Awards, expansions & milestones Siemens inaugurates wind turbine blade factory, presents first customized turbine transport vessel in Esbjerg, supplies components for 5 Sudanese power plants, names competition winners
