<strong>Siemens</strong> best<br />
company for<br />
leaders…<br />
another success<br />
CEO Magazine recently named<br />
<strong>Siemens</strong> one of the best companies<br />
for leaders. "Leadership<br />
development has always been<br />
important. Today it has become a<br />
competitive differentiator. Those<br />
that do it well will win more often<br />
than not. Those that do it poorly or<br />
not at all will lose." It was the first<br />
time <strong>Siemens</strong> appeared on the list<br />
and ranked number 6.<br />
<strong>Pakistan</strong> is facing one of the worst energy crises<br />
of its history. The gap between energy demand<br />
and supply has grown sharply over the last few<br />
years making life harder for the masses according<br />
to newspaper reports.<br />
The unprecedented urban growth a mega trend<br />
that is taking place in developing countries<br />
reflects the hopes and aspirations of millions of<br />
new urbanites. Cities have enormous potential<br />
for improving people’s lives. One of these major<br />
cities is Lahore. With a rich cultural heritage in<br />
its background, Lahore is counted as one of the<br />
historical cities of the world. Like most of the<br />
other urban cities of <strong>Pakistan</strong>, Lahore too is facing<br />
a severe energy crisis.<br />
New Diesel Power Stations prove to be a better<br />
alternative for meeting this energy crisis for more<br />
than a single reason. They are highly efficient<br />
and can be installed and run in a very short<br />
period of time. Hence they are better suited to<br />
cope with severe power outages in a developing<br />
country as ours.<br />
Sidicon - A<br />
Specialized Control<br />
System for Diesel<br />
Power Plants<br />
The Distributed control of<br />
this Project is based on<br />
SIDICON- a specialized<br />
Control System, state of<br />
the art visualization and<br />
up-to-date software for<br />
the Diesel Power Plants<br />
that provides high<br />
performance and greater<br />
system reliability. Its open<br />
architecture allows easy<br />
implementation of new<br />
stipulations. Through<br />
this project, BU-CIP is<br />
aiming for setting up a<br />
standard for the future<br />
projects of MAN Diesel.<br />

BU-CIP<br />
Winning of this<br />
prestigious contract was<br />
not an easy task for the<br />
Business Unit (CIP).<br />
Members of the project<br />
bidding team went<br />
through an immensely<br />
tough competition with<br />
its competitors. Through<br />
its vast project<br />
m a n a g e m e n t<br />
experience, excellence,<br />
in-depth expertise,<br />
negotiation skills, and<br />
most-of-all determination<br />
to be a part of the efforts<br />
in adding up the<br />
megawatts required into<br />
the country, BU-CIP won<br />
the contract.<br />

MAN Diesel SE<br />
successful award of Atlas Project.<br />
based in<br />
Germany and the <strong>Pakistan</strong>i Atlas Group have<br />
concluded a strategic partnership to construct<br />
Diesel Power Plants in <strong>Pakistan</strong>. The cooperation<br />
covers the development, design,<br />
construction and maintenance<br />
of four turnkey Diesel Power<br />
Plants from 120 to 225 MW in<br />
size, to be completed by 2012.<br />
One of these projects that has<br />
recently gone into execution is<br />
In Germany: Team members of MAN Dieselthe<br />
Atlas Power Project - 225 Germany & <strong>Siemens</strong>-<strong>Pakistan</strong><br />
MW Diesel Power Station in<br />
Lahore, to be situated at Lahore-Sheikhupura<br />
Road. The plant is scheduled to connect to the<br />
public grid in March 2009. Business Unit - Cross<br />
Industry Projects (formerly known as BU-Process<br />
Industries and Water Technologies) has made<br />
strategic inroads in the Diesel Power Sector and<br />
has been awarded a contract for the complete<br />
electrical and control system of the Atlas Power<br />
Plant Project.<br />
Biggest ever Export Order of the IIP<br />
Division<br />
The Atlas Power Project is one of the projects<br />
of its kind since the “Independent Power<br />
Producers” (IPPS) have recently started<br />
investing in diesel power plants in <strong>Pakistan</strong>.<br />
Moreover, the Atlas Power Plant Project is<br />
also the biggest ever export order of IIP<br />
Division. Another fact that needs to be<br />
mentioned here is that MAN Diesel, world’s<br />
leading provider of large-bore diesel engines<br />
for marine and power plant applications, is<br />
working with <strong>Siemens</strong> <strong>Pakistan</strong> for the very<br />
first time. Thus, it won’t be incorrect to say<br />
that this project is a milestone not only in<br />
the history of the BU-CIP itself but also in the<br />
history of <strong>Siemens</strong> <strong>Pakistan</strong>. Being a part of<br />
this prestigious project is a source of great<br />
honor, pride and achievement, both for the<br />
Business Unit – Cross Industry Projects and<br />
for <strong>Siemens</strong> <strong>Pakistan</strong> at large.<br />
