SIMELTCIS Power is Siemens’ consistent, end-to-end
energy supply strategy for the steel and iron
industry, designed to meet the specific require-
ments and anticipated interactions among pro-
cesses and the energy supply in this field. These
high-quality solutions are the result of our in-depth
knowledge of processes in steel mills, careful
selection of the best components – including
switchgear, control gear, transformers, reactors
and capacitors, plus the control and protection of
this technology – and our extensive experience in
installation and commissioning.
The challenge
A safe and reliable power supply is essential for ensur-
ing continuous and efficient operation of steel plants.
The largest loads in steelworks, such as electric arc
furnaces and large blowers, are the central compo-
nents of the energy supply concept. The following
conditions need to be avoided:
• Perturbation of the public power supply network
due to network disturbances
• Production quality and quantity disruption, due
to an unstable voltage supply, caused by the own
production process
• Penalties due to noncompliance with energy
purchase conditions

Our solution
As a comprehensive energy supply solution, SIMELTCIS
Power addresses all aspects of your plant. It offers
proven solutions to improve energy quality, inno-
vative strategies for ensuring redundancy supply
for important electrical equipment, and thorough
emergency power strategies to ensure power in
places where a power outage would be dangerous
for personnel or equipment.
Four good reasons for
SIMELTCIS POWER
• Greater productivity ensured by safe energy
supply throughout the plant
• Greater operational safety, lower maintenance
expense thanks to transparent SCADA system
• Having the same hard- and software base for
energy and process automation means lower
expenses
• Solid emergency power strategy reduces risk
for the production plants

SIMELTCIS Power provides a safe and stable energy

supply for greenfield sites and modernization
projects alike. And our optimally matched services
ensure top performance of your tailor-made solution
throughout the entire life cycle of your plant.
Visualize your processes – optimize your
energy flow
Monitoring, operation and maintenance of systems of
both the production process and the energy supply
are becoming increasingly interrelated tasks. Our
response is to support plant-wide consistency of
automation when it comes to hardware and software
(although stand-alone solutions can also easily be
implemented with SIMELTCIS Power as well).
Our SCADA system components ensure we always
have the right solution for your needs.
Fast cycle times, real-time logging and integrated • End-to-end transparency of manufacturing costs
control functions such as load shedding, event reporting through detailed energy consumption recording
and logging are all part of our plant-specific solution based on effective interaction with higher-level
package based on SIMATIC S7/PCS 7. systems

Since the WinCC control and monitoring interface is
seamlessly integrated with the plant concept, the
interfaces to higher-level IT systems enable intelligent
energy management with exact requirement analyses
and forecasts. This offers clear advantages:
• Uniform systems reduce costs for personnel training
and spare parts management
• Integrated reporting system and efficient trouble-
shooting support provide fast fault isolation, which
means less downtime and higher availability
SIMELTCIS – Completely Integrated Solutions
for the Metals Industry
As a comprehensive industry-specific solution for the iron and
steel industry, our SIMELTCIS product family integrates all the
products and services you need for sustained maximization
of your plant’s performance.
For each particular task, a solution has been defined that
• horizontally improves all production processes – from
iron ore to liquid steel
• vertically integrates the company’s information flow
end-to-end, helping corporate management to make
better-founded decisions
• and chronologically enables optimized maintenance and
comes with assured further development over the whole
life cycle of your plant.
Due to this unique combination of horizontal, vertical and
life cycle dimensions, our solutions all carry the genes of an
exhaustive and sustained plant productivity in their very core.
For more productivity. More performance. More power.

• An optimized energy flow means lower energy and
energy-related costs
Safety under all circumstances
By using an emergency power supply with black
start capability, SIMELTCIS Power helps protect your
plant even when failures occur in the public power
supply network.
First we determine the loads that should be connected
to the emergency power supply to prevent damage or
malfunction. Then we implement an individual solution,
including the prime mover and generator, an emer-
gency distribution panel and a complete automation
system to control the emergency power supply.
Everything under control – without interruption
We support you in planning, sizing and installing a
static, battery-backed uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) for your automation systems and servers. For
your legal and economic safety, a sufficient bridging
period of the battery allows for a controlled shutdown
of all automation systems when a power failure
occurs.
