Technical Tour 1:<br />
The BoA 1 Power Plant & Coal Innovation Centre in<br />
Bergheim-Niederaußem<br />
Owner/Operator: RWE<br />
Date: Monday 11 June 2012<br />
Meeting Time: 12:00pm<br />
Meeting Point: North Entrance Foyer, Kolnmesse<br />
Duration: Approximately 5 ½ hours<br />
Cost: €90<br />
At the Niederaussem power plant in Bergheim, the world’s most modern lignite-�red power-station unit<br />
went on stream in 2003 under the name “BoA 1”. RWE Power bundles its research projects for reducing<br />
and using CO2 at this plant and in its technology. Research and development projects form an important<br />
component in the company’s CO2 climate-protection strategy. The Niederaussem location is thus becoming<br />
a “Coal Innovation Centre”. This is where experts are gaining valuable insights that can be ported to other<br />
projects and plants. This is also where RWE Power proposes to step up our exchanges with the international,<br />
specialist community. The participants registered to attend this tour will visit the interactive exhibition in RWEs<br />
information center and the �rst lignite based power plant with optimized plant technology (“BoA”) located in<br />
Bergheim Niederaußem. This guided tour will take approx. 2.5 hrs.<br />
Attendees are required to wear sensible casual clothing.<br />
Registration for this tour closes on 25 May 2012<br />

Since 1998 Windtest Grevenbroich GmbH has operated a test �eld for wind energy systems on the Neurather<br />
Höhe hill south of Grevenbroich near Neuss. It is the largest inland test �eld in the world.<br />
Prototypes and test systems with a capacity of 600 kW to 2,500 kW are currently tested there and measured<br />
according to international standards. After completion of the work, the systems are dismantled and replaced<br />
by new prototypes.<br />
Clients and owners of the wind energy systems are generally the manufacturing companies. Windtest<br />
Grevenbroich GmbH provides the test �eld with the necessary infrastructure, the measuring technology and<br />
the services. The collected data from various measurements, such as stresses, performance curves or electrical<br />
characteristics, are used by the system manufacturers to optimize the components as well as the mechanical,<br />
dynamic or electrical characteristics of their wind energy systems.
