bullet_green   Technical Tour 1: Power plant Lippendorf & open-cast mine Vereinigtes Schleenhain

The lignite-fuelled power plant Lippendorf is part of a network of energy producers located in the Central German lignite district. The power plant has been modernized and it provides heating for about 60% of households in the city of Leipzig. The open-cast mine Vereinigtes Schleenhain uses a 34 km long conveyer belt system for supplying lignite to the power plant. Up to 11 million tons of raw lignite from four coal beds are annually extracted from the mine while enforcing strong environmental management practices, particularly with regard to water resources. Lippendorf/Schleenhain offers a worthwhile experience – a real must-see!

The heat plant Reick combines both fossil and renewable power generation with storage of heat and electricity generation for the power grid at one site. At Reick, a commercial battery storage system is being tested as a primary control system for the public grid. This innovative model is to serve as the basis for the development of practice-oriented battery storage systems. The concept including the decentralised battery storage system presents an innovative model for providing the flexiblity needed to facilitate the energy transition.
We are looking forward to your application for this interesting tour!
