Power-to-x

Sector coupling is the energetic link of sectors like power, energy, mobility, industry or building. It acts as a link between renewable energy sources (wind, solar, water...) and consumers.

Power-to-X as the key technology in sector coupling allows us to transform and save energy from renewable resources in a chemical form for long-term storage and use, with green hydrogen and its derivatives as the core component.

Discover how Power-to-X technology is transforming the energy landscape, harmonizing diverse sectors and paving the way for a sustainable future. Watch the video!

Power to X for sector coupling: renewable power, mobility, petrochemical and chemical industry, agriculture, heat and cold green hydrogen production

Green hydrogen has to be transported in a chemical form, using Power-to-X technology

e-Methanol can be used to reduce CO2 emissions in shipping, employing Power-to-X technology.

Our Haru Oni project represents our Power to X technology for a carbon-free world

e-Ammonia is a green fuel and can be used in the electronic industry, using Power-to-X technology.

Grid technologies are vital for integrating renewable energy and enabling efficient power distribution in the Power-to-X process.

Grid connected Power-to-X projects provide stable power-supply, however, they are facing challenges regarding grid code requirements as well as regulatory boundary conditions. We take care of seamless connection and interaction with the grid, dispatch control according to regulatory requirements (e.g. hourly correlation) as well as digital certification of your product in terms of CO₂ footprint.

Siemens Energy is the only manufacturer of Power-to-X solutions with the portfolio, experience and knowledge of power generation and grid connection. We use our expertise and our tolls for system design and simulation to determine optimum technical and economic solutions for you. As an additional benefit, electrolysis can be used as a fast energy balancing unit and its end products as energy storage.

e-Fuels can be used in the chemical industry for CO2 reduction, leveraging Power-to-X technology.

Off-Grid Power-to-X projects provide advantages regarding compliance with regulatory requirements due to inherent geographic and timely correlation. In addition, grid utilization charges can be avoided.
The biggest challenge for off-grid or weak-grid projects lies in designing the grid forming and stabilizing equipment in close connection with an integrated control system.
Siemens Energy has acquired significant experience in modelling complex island grids from renewables to the electrolyzers and other downstream consumers, which is the basis for simulation and optimization of essential grid stabilizing systems such as batteries, synchronous condensers or static converters.
