A single source from power to compression
Procuring a comprehensive power-to-compression solution from a single
point of responsibility offers a host of benefits for end-customers
and EPCs alike. A single point of contact means a significant reduction
of interfaces, simplifying project management and communications.
Moreover, engineering time as well as erection and commissioning costs
are reduced through harmonized equipment and handling.
 Including rotating and
electrical equipment,
power generation,
transmission and distribution
as well as
all related control and
automation systems,
Siemens provides
a host of solutions
for LNG plants from a
single source. |

Siemens’ core business comprises electrical engineering, rotating equipment,
and a wide range of related services. As a partner in E-LNG
projects, Siemens would take overall responsibility for a comprehensive
range of compression and power generation equipment. Underlining
our credibility as a single-source supplier, we are prepared to negotiate
availability guarantees for specific projects and countries with contractually
fixed bonus-penalty schemes, and long-term service and maintenance
agreements for our scope of supply.
Comprehensive testing before shipping
Major equipment packages are functionally and load-tested prior to
shipment to reduce the risk of delays due to non-conforming or non-performing
equipment. Testing comprises full-load full-speed tests of
motor-compressor strings of up to 90 MW, as well as automation and
control-system integration tests of all subsystems.
Speeding installation
Wherever weight and size limitations for shipping allow, subsystems of
an E-LNG compression plant are built in modular form with pre-installed
and pre-commissioned equipment. Siemens’ vast experience, a structured
project-management process including a detailed transportation
and construction execution plan, and advanced logistics concepts
have allowed us project execution times of 24 months for standardized
plants.

Avoiding potential
interface problems of
traditional piece-meal

can take responsibility

services from power

Easing commissioning
Detailed planning of the entire commissioning process and a series of
acceptance certificates form the basis for a smooth start-up process.
Fine-tuning of control systems and performance testing of the power plant necessitate at least a partial loading of the generators during
commissioning. Siemens specialists employ dedicated measures and
equipment to commission these systems without interfering with the
LNG plant start-up process.
Scalable operation and maintenance services
Siemens has a tradition of going way beyond the conventional meaning
of service. Our services accompany you from the initial project-engineering
phase, during project execution, and through the plant’s entire
life cycle. Supported by comprehensive diagnostic and logistic functions
from service centers, factories and headquarters, our local and
regional organizations deliver a full range of services for Siemens’
scope of supply, from on-call services through all-inclusive operation
and maintenance. Availability guarantees are offered as optional parts
of long-term operation and maintenance contracts.
Optimizing asset service and availability
All of Siemens’ thermal power plants, motor-compressor and power
transmission and distribution subsystems can be connected to one of
two Global Service and Diagnostic Centers for permanent online performance
monitoring. The scheme allows the development of conditionmonitoring
based maintenance strategies, and comparative fault
analyses of Siemens’ entire fleet for the whole life cycle.

Tailored training measures
Comprehensive training of customer personnel is part of every contract,
the scope and depth of which depends on qualifications and duties to
be performed. Programs include training on real-time power-plant simulators,
duplicating essential parts of the information and control system,
and allowing hands-on training without interfering with the actual
operation, plus the proactive development of operating and emergency
procedures.
