Turbomachinery and power plant engineering
The capital region has a very high concentration of global players in the field of turbomachinery and power plant technology. It has the highest density of turbomachinery manufacturers in all of Europe.
Strong Industry
- One of Europe's leading industrial regions for manufacturing and servicing turbomachinery
- Outstanding opportunities and sales potential for innovative and specialized suppliers
- Innovative solutions and applications in the manufacturing, maintenance, overhaul, and modernization of turbomachinery in the area of prototype and component testing (e.g., the Siemens Energy Clean Energy Center for gas turbine burner testing and the Rolls-Royce Mechanical Test Operations Centre)
- High level of expertise in converting gas turbines to hydrogen (H2 readiness)
- Development and production of innovative micro gas turbines
In the area of turbomachinery, companies in the region form a complete value added chain from research and development, via production, through to design, planning, installation, as well as MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul):
- MAN Energy Solutions SE
- MTU Maintenance Berlin-Brandenburg GmbH
- Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co. KG
- Siemens Energy AG
In the field of power plant technology, industrial technology users in particular are pioneers in areas such as flexible power plants, which are increasingly operated with mixed gases containing high proportions of renewably produced hydrogen:
- GASAG Solution Plus
- ENERTRAG
- GE Vernova
Excellent research
- In the Energy Laboratory of the HFI - TU Berlin innovative combustion technologies for tomorrow's gas turbines are tested and developed.
- The H2mGT-Project of the HFI and the micro gas turbine manufacturer Euro-K GmbH is pursuing the conversion of an existing micro gas turbine for use with hydrogen.
- In the second phase of the joint project MRO 2.0 at the Werner-von-Siemens Center, new technologies for MRO activities are being developed using the example of gas turbine blades.
- In the Lausitz Reference Power Plant (RefLau) real-world laboratory, a modern power plant is being built in the Schwarze Pumpe industrial park to produce green hydrogen using only renewable energies.
- The BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg unites numerous departments that deal with power plant technology.
