Kontrolmatik, a systems integrator and global EPC leader in power
generation, transmission, and distribution, and its subsidiary
Pomega Energy, a battery manufacturer, has announced an engineering
alliance with Siemens. The global collaboration is focused on
building a sustainable battery ecosystem to enable the transition
to a decarbonized energy system, as Pomega Energy Storage
Technologies USA and Kontrolmatik USA ramp up their energy storage
operations in North America.
“The collaboration with Siemens provides Kontrolmatik the
opportunity to establish our two companies as engineering,
integration, and software collaborators. In return, Kontrolmatik
and Pomega have offered to help standardize Siemens automation
equipment and software solutions. Kontrolmatik and Pomega
continuously look for opportunities to stay at the forefront of
cutting-edge technology, and working with Siemens is to our
continued success,” explained Saim Hacıağaoğlu, Deputy General
Manager with Pomega Energy Storage Technologies.
The collaboration will expand the global reach of all three
companies and further their efforts in sustainable energy storage.
As Siemens continues to help companies ramp up battery
manufacturing in the U.S. with their end-to-end technology, from
supply chain to recycling to reuse, they look forward to
collaborating with strong industry partners. Kontrolmatik and
Pomega will standardize the use of Siemens solutions with full
ongoing support and optimization, particularly for Pomega’s first
LFP battery factory in Turkey.
“I am thrilled to express my enthusiasm and optimism about the
exciting collaboration between Siemens, Kontrolmatik, and Pomega.
The prospect of forging a global alliance is truly inspiring and
marks a significant milestone in our partnership, symbolizing a
commitment to innovation, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology.
The synergy between Siemens, Kontrolmatik, and Pomega is poised to
redefine industry standards and create transformative solutions.
Together, we are paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in
the fields we serve. This alliance aligns with our shared values
and goals and reinforces our dedication to delivering unparalleled
value to our clients worldwide. I am eager to witness our positive
impact and look forward to a future of continued success and
growth,” said Jefi Bardavit, Account Manager, Siemens Digital
Industries.
In addition, with a combined focus on education, workforce, and
research, the three companies have an alliance with the University
of South Carolina (USC), where Pomega is building a pilot battery
production line featuring Siemens automation and software
solutions, scheduled for completion at the end of 2024. Through
Siemens’ collaboration with academia, they have donated much of the
software at USC.
William E. Mustain, Ph.D., Associate Dean for Research and
Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of South
Carolina, explained, “USC is in the middle of a significant
expansion of its battery pilot manufacturing and testing
capabilities – built on 30 years of investment and research in
batteries. Realizing a facility that we are designing requires
partners who share your vision and bring their unique skills to the
project, we believe we have found the right partners for success
with Siemens, Kontrolmatik, and Pomega. This team's combined
business, science, and technology experience creates something
where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, forming a
strong foundation to drive a sustainable education, innovation, and
business model for our state. Siemens strongly supports students
here at USC and has demonstrated their commitment to education. The
resources they provide related to digital design and operation
allow our students to be ready on day one after graduation to
contribute to the energy community.”
The market for batteries and sustainable energy solutions is
growing rapidly. As such, there is a need for the decarbonization
of transportation and energy systems enabled through a highly
sustainable value chain for batteries. Siemens and Kontrolmatik
will work closely together to expand the U.S. battery energy
storage industry with customized end-to-end solutions made in the
United States. Pomega’s PΩCenter in South Carolina will be one of
the first facilities in the U.S. exclusively dedicated to LFP
solutions for utility and residential battery storage.
