Invitation to the VGB Congress “Power Plant 2004“ in Cologne
Ladies and Gentlemen For the second time since 1964, Cologne, Germany’s fourth-biggest city, is once again the venue for the VGB “Power Plants” Congress. Located in the traditional energy state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), which stands for state-of-the-art power plant technology and elec- tricity generation, Cologne provides an ideal setting for the motto of this year’s congress: “Ensuring Investments - How can we fill the Genera- tion Gap?”. As at previous congresses, the main topic of the VGB “Power Plants 2004” Congress will be the question of how to cover the shortfall in capa- city that is foreseeable in both the German and Europe-wide power generation industry. This topic has not been chosen because of any lack of alternative issues that need to be discussed. Rather, the state of debate in politics and society at both national and international level calls for undiminished focus on the key question of future electricity generation. We are therefore especially pleased that Mr. Wolfgang Clement, the German Economics and Labour Minister, has agreed to assume the enspice for the congress, underlining the great importance that must be attached to the forthcoming infrastructural decisions arising from the enor- mous need for the replacement of power plants. Consequently, the presentations to the plenary sessions will be wholly concerned with the concrete possibilities offered by fossil and renewable energy generation technologies and the prospects for nuclear energy in Europe. The sections “Market and Competition” and “Technology, Ope- ration and the Environment” will look into these questions in greater depth. The core activity of VGB, namely to coordinate R&D projects for operators and manufacturers and initiate them, will be another key theme of the congress. Major research efforts will be needed in order to realise the available efficiency improvement potential of fossil power generation technologies with the aim of saving resources and reducing the environmental impact still further, and to develop renewable energy sources up to a level where they are cost-efficient. In this context, for example, VGB has, on behalf of the State of NRW and working jointly with operators, manufacturers and research institu- tes, conducted a feasibility study for a highly advanced hard coal-fired power station, the so-so-called “NRW Reference Power Plant”, and thus presented an excellent visiting card for state-of-the-art power generation technology based on hard coal. In addition to the conference events, Cologne and the congress offer opportunities to view highly modern lignite-fuelled power generation fa- cilities at the nearby Rhine-region lignite coal field. Apart from these practical working examples of modern power plant technology, an exten- sive programme of accompanying events is also planned, giving the congress participants the opportunity to see the city’s most famous sights, but also some which are less well-known. These include facets of Cologne’s rich cultural history, but also a visit to the German Aerospace Cen- tre, with the training facility for the European astronauts in Cologne-Porz. So the VGB Congress 2004 in Cologne, with a mix of highly topical issues, discussions and dialogue, interesting visits and impressions of the fascinating cathedral city on the Rhine, offers an opportunity for both information and enjoyment. We look forward to welcoming you and wish you an informative congress and a pleasant stay in Cologne. Essen, April 2004

Around Cologne From Cologne to Bonn, it’s only stone’s throw to the former capital of the Federal Republic of Germany which has still to offer quite a lot. The romantic Minster, Beethoven’s birth house, the time-honoured “Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelm Universi- ty” are reminiscences of old and (almost) most recent German history. A small tour of the town centre of Bonn with a visit of the Minster and of Beethoven’s House will make you a bit more familiar with the town. Then, the tour will lead you into one of the hearts of the romantic valley of the river Rhine (World Heritage of UNESCO), the Siebengebirge, a scene of numerous legends and myths. One of the oldest aerial ropeways in Germany will take up to the top of the Drachenfels. After a small snack, you will be brought back to Co- logne again.

Cologne Gourmet Tour By train, you will go to the “Hahnentor”. Here, the question as to why Napoleon Bonaparte was in a way al- so been a promoter of the typical Cologne gastronomy will already be clarified. Thereafter, the tour will continue via three “gourmet stops” to the so-called Roman Tower giving cause to inform about the Roman cuisine, then to the “Zeughaus”(Arsenal) and the Castle Wall up to Cologne Cathedral. Here, you will learn why the Cologne cuisine was scarcely able to get around international popularity. Via Marzellenstraße and the hidden Ursula Square, the tour will lead you via two additional gourmet stops to the legendary “Eigel- stein”. How the “cabbage peasants” gathered wealth and what role the peasant has been playing in the carnival of Cologne, that are the things you will be informed about on this Gourmet Tour. At selected speciality shops, you will be served little snacks.

Cologne Cultural Tour On tour by bus, you will first of all get to see the most beautiful and most interesting spots of Cologne. You will be told why it took so long to built the Cologne Cathedral, why there is a huge hole to be seen right in the centre of the city, and why you are always going around in circles when driving through the city of Co- logne. The next very special cultural stop is the Cologne Beer Museum. Experience a tour of the Museum with plenty of small anecdotes and facts in respect of one of the most famous products of the city of Cologne: Kölsch (Cologne) beer. The history of the 120 year old brewing art will help you to develop a taste for “Kölsch” beer. In addition, something delicious of the typical Cologne cuisine will be served. Bon appétit!

BoA Power Plant (Lignite-Fired Power Plant with Optimised Plant Design) in Niederaußem Lignite accounts for a portion of about 25 percent of the overall power generation in Germany. A lignite- based generation of power makes high demands on the efficiency of the power plants as to climate aspects. An excellent example for their technical efficiency is the BoA Power Plant (lignite-fired power plant with optimised plant design) put into operation by RWE Power in Bergheim-Niederaußem (Rhein-Erft district) in 2002. With an efficiency of more than 43 percent, it has been setting the standard world-wide. Compared to older plants, the lignite-fired power plant with optimised plant design has been reducing CO2 emissions by up to three million tonnes a year - an active contribution to the preservation of the environ- ment and the climate world-wide.

Tour of the Open Cast Mine Garzweiler In the lignite mining area of the Rhine region between Cologne, Aachen and Mönchengladbach, three open cast mines of RWE Power are delivering about 100 million tonnes of lignite per year, being used at a rate of 90 percent for power generation at power plants of the company that are situated close to the open cast mines. The most northern coal mine is the open cast mine Garzweiler, west of Grevenbroich (Rhine district Neuss). In depths of up to 160 meters, bucket wheel excavators are extracting the energy raw material being accumulated there in three layers. With the aim of ensuring energy supply, the mining district Garz- weiler I will be extended as of the year 2006 to the west to the mining district Garzweiler II and shall ensure about 40 percent of the lignite mining in the Rhine region up to the year 2044.

Tour of the Gas and Steam Turbine Thermal Power Plant of GEW RheinEnergie AG in Cologne-Niehl GEW RheinEnergie AG is presently establishing a highly modern thermal power plant on the basis of gas and steam turbine technology at the location of Cologne-Niehl. The plant will replace an about 30 year old duo power plant block on the basis of natural gas. The new power plant will be the core of the electric po- wer and thermal power generation for the city of Cologne. It will cover the major part of the demand of the centre of the city of Cologne and of the quarter of Deutz on a long-term basis. The heart of the plant will be a gas turbo set (type V94.3A) of Siemens with a power output of about 260 megawatts. The total electric power output will be 400 megawatts; the net efficiency will be more than 58 percent. In case of a steam turbine operation, a district heating output of a maximum of 265 megawatts will additionally be available. Before this background, the efficiency degree of the whole plant will be increased to more than 86 percent. The plant will be put into operation in autumn 2004.
