Know-how from the number 1 in the market for the
most powerful electrical machinery
There are many reasons for the unique quality of Siemens
industrial generators. One of these is the synergy with
other high-rating Siemens electrical machinery.
When it comes to high-voltage motors, for decades now,
Siemens has been setting the pace technically, and is the
undisputed number 1 in the global market. On a global
scale, our wind turbine generators also enjoy a top posi-
tion in the market. Over 20,000 wind turbine generators
are operating worldwide to reliably convert wind into
electric power. Based on this experience and expertise, we    Designed for use in the following sectors

Quality, reliability and efficiency for
disturbance-free operation.
Even under the toughest of conditions.
The high energy yield depends on the system availability – and here, the reliability of the power generator itself
is decisive. You secure this reliability with the high-quality industrial generators from Siemens – and this applies
in any situation.
When using Siemens industrial generators, you profit from shorter project execution times. This is achieved
through higher flexibility and planning, shorter delivery times, a more efficient engineering workflow and
significantly simplified integration into the plant or system. You benefit as the system is more quickly
commissioned – therefore generating power earlier.
