Power plants are complex, large-scale gas, coal, nuclear or hydroelectric plants that bring together a wide range of technologies. These include conveyor systems in coal-fired power plants, steam generators in the form of sophisticated process plants, large turbines, transformers and high-voltage switchgear for connection to the power grid. Plus, there are also filtration systems, an auxiliary power system and much more besides, all equipped with the relevant automation technology. This requires seamless cooperation between a variety of engineering disciplines. Engineering Base's digital plant twin facilitates and speeds up collaboration by acting as a central data source and enabling smooth coordination and integration of all discipline, every step of the way.

A solid, decade-long partnership

RWE Group company RWE Power specializes in power generation. The firm’s around 8,800 employees are responsible for the production of electricity from lignite and the safe decommissioning of former nuclear power plants. RWE Power relies on AUCOTEC's database-driven platform Engineering Base for planning its lignite-fired power plant projects.
