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 manufacture, maintenance, overhaul, and modernization of prototype and component test turbomachinery (e.g. gas turbine burner testing center/Clean Energy Center from Siemens and Rolls-Royce's Mechanical Test Operations Center)
- High competence in the environmentally friendly optimization of power plant technology
- 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 are pioneering the use of flexible power plants operated with conventional fuels and also with mixed gases with high hydrogen content:
- Vattenfall
- GASAG
- ENERTRAG
- GE Energy Power Conversion
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.
- The BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg unites numerous departments that deal with power plant technology.
