Under construction since 2019, the Siemens campus microgrid includes 312 kW at peak capacity of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, 500 kW/500 kWh battery storage and Siemens eMobility charging stations. A Siemens Desigo building management system is also in place to adjust heating supplies during peak load periods, and a Siemens microgrid controller sits at the heart of the microgrid.
“A smart microgrid controller centrally orchestrates the connected assets and optimizes the power supply to take account of peak loads and grid capacity utilization,” said Werner Brandauer, head of business development, Siemens Smart Infrastructure Digital Grid, in a recent Siemens story.

Casinos Austria has appointed Wolfgang Hesoun as its new chair, as part of a wider reorganisation of its supervisory board.
Hesoun, general director of Siemens Austria, will replace chief executive Robert Chvatal, who served in the role on an interim basis since Walter Rothensteiner left the business in July this year.
Aside from Hesoun, Casinos Austria has announced a number of new additions to its supervisory board, including former PwC chief executive Christine Catasta and compliance and player protection expert Erika Stark-Rittenauer.
Gerhild Hofer and Thomas Polzer will both step down from the board to make way for the new additions.
