PBMR
Using innovation to address the global energy shortage
The initial rationale behind PBMR is simple: there is a huge global requirement for sustainable energy. With the world’s energy demands increasing, a solution to the potential energy shortage is urgently required. Although wind, solar and wave energy sources have their benefits, they cannot currently provide enough power to address the shortage. And although fossil fuels currently provide 80 percent of global energy requirements, they pose a serious threat to the environment and undermine the Kyoto Protocol’s environmental targets.

Solutions
The Energy and Utilities industry plays a strategic role in the exploration, production and delivery of critical resources. Providing reliable energy solutions to customers has put tremendous pressure on the energy and utilities supply chain. Siemens PLM Software provides answers to the toughest industry pressures such as knowledge transfer, meeting compliance requirements and optimizing for efficiency.
Oil and Gas
The Oil and Gas industry is the main supplier of products for Energy generation and starts the Energy value chain. Operations in this segment must be strategic and can become the weapon in the battle for profitable growth. Are you dealing with any of the following issues?
- Do you have problems sharing information across teams?
- Do you need to manage suppliers better, to minimize cost and maximize quality?
- How do you manage supplier qualification, collaboration, access control and preference of parts supplied?
Power Generation
Efficient generation of electricity is the goal at this step of the value chain, and is paramount in downstream operations.
- Do you use new technologies to grow revenue, profit and market share?
- How do you respond to market/customer requirements to enable profitable growth?
- Are you able to capture and analyze key performance indicators such as work in progress, quality management, MRO and overall equipment efficiency at the plant or enterprise level?
Utilities and Infrastructure
Efficiently and safely delivering reliable resources is the job of Utilities and Infrastructure companies. Are you challenged with any of the following issues?
- Demonstrating compliance to regulatory bodies.
- Optimizing your network for maximum efficiency: SCADA/PLC, supply and demand changes, and electricity supply costs.
- Balancing workforce requirements against changing criteria.
- Real-time “what if” analysis for new and existing networks.
Architecture, Engineering and Construction
The entire energy and utilities supply chain is supported by a network of companies that provide design, build and construction services for the industry. For this supply chain, staying on cost and within budget are imperative. Are you challenged with any of the following issues?
- Providing accurate quotes based on historical information to owner/operators.
- Responding to market/customer requirements to enable profitable growth.
- Leveraging customer feedback to design, simulate, validate and construct offerings?
