Siemens and Stadtwerke Stuttgart integrate emobility charging hubs into an urban sustainable energy ecosystem
Siemens and Stadtwerke Stuttgart team up to create a sustainable urban ecosystem, with an integrated mobility hub. Their newly inaugurated headquarters showcases advanced building and energy management systems, powered by Siemens Xcelerator. This platform intelligently connects renewable energy sources to various aspects of urban infrastructure.
A key highlight of this partnership is the electrification of the mobility hub at Stadtwerke Stuttgart’s headquarters. This hub charges the company’s EV fleet, using renewable energy managed by Siemens Xcelerator. The system optimises charging schedules based on energy availability and usage patterns, fully charging vehicles when needed.
Peter Drausnigg, Technical Managing Director at Stadtwerke Stuttgart, explained:
“The combination of Siemens expertise in building management and ours in the energy industry creates solutions that not only help us to achieve our own sustainability goals but also help us to support other organisations in their energy transition.
We see ourselves as the driving force behind the energy transition in Stuttgart and are proud to be working with Siemens to set an example for other businesses and cities to follow around the world.”
Central to this system is Siemens’ Digital Twin technology. The Building X platform, featuring the 360° Viewer and Energy Manager, uses AI to optimise building operations. This includes managing the energy needs of the mobility hub and ensuring efficient and sustainable operation of EV charging stations. IoT sensors and applications support real-time data insights, aiming for up to 30% energy savings.
Matthias Rebellius, CEO of Siemens Smart Infrastructure, added:
“We are delighted to be working in partnership with Stadtwerke Stuttgart to show how we can combine the real and the digital worlds to drive genuine sustainable transformation.
Intelligent building and energy management optimises the use of renewable energy sources, maximizing efficient operations while minimizing impact on the energy grid. This is setting a new standard not only in Stuttgart but for cities across the world which are facing the challenge of making both new and existing buildings fit for purpose as we collectively transition towards a more sustainable future.”
The Siemens and Stadtwerke Stuttgart partnership exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to urban energy and mobility. EVs can become an integral part of an interconnected sustainable ecosystem. It’s an impressive demonstration of Siemens’ advanced technology which is allowing this ecosystem to thrive.
