17 July 2006 - Siemens Power Generation is to equip both blocks of the new lignite fired power plant in Grevenbroich-Neurath (North Rhine-Westphalia) with an innovative control system for RWE Power. Siemens will also deliver the transformers for the plant and the drive turbines for the feed water pumps. The total order volume exceeds €90m ($113m).

RWE Power is constructing a double block plant with a total capacity of 2100 MW at the Grevenbroich-Neurath power plant site. The control system constitutes a particularly important component of the power plant, the "brain" and "nerve centre" of the plant as it were. With the SPPA-T3000, Siemens PG is deploying the worldwide first fully web-based control system of the fourth generation in this project. For the past two years this innovative control technology has already been proving its viability in all kinds of different power plants worldwide. With its use at BoA 2/3 this innovative system now enters a new performance dimension.

The process control system is specially designed for use in power plant and power generation management and covers all functions from boiler and turbine control technology to the open-loop and closed-loop control of all power plant processes. It boasts four particular advantages. It is exceptionally reliable and offers high availability due to its software structure. With its unique Embedded Component Services(TM) technology it simplifies operation and maintenance and is tailored exactly to the needs of power plant personnel. Every item of information can be retrieved at the click of a mouse and all functions have a common engineering system. Thanks to the software which is hardware-neutral in principle the system is also designed for long service life and minimum maintenance and life cycle costs. Finally, as the first fully web-based system it allows seamless integration into the company's existing IT landscape and is capable of providing highly specific, real-time information for a whole variety of different users.
