VGB PowerTech eV is an international association of companies from the electricity and heat supply industry. The seat of the association is Essen / Germany.

The abbreviation “VGB” only has historical significance today; the association is a platform for the entire technology of electricity and heat generation as well as storage technologies. The "VGB" was founded as the "Association of Large Boiler Owners eV" in Leuna in 1920 by representatives of ten companies in the electricity and chemical industries. The occasion was a serious boiler explosion in the Reisholz power plant in Düsseldorf. The common goal was to identify and eliminate quality defects in all systems in order to ultimately increase safety, occupational safety and availability.

The association has (as of January 1, 2019) a total of 434 members, 407 of them from countries of the European Union, 14 members in four non-EU countries within Europe and 13 members in ten countries outside Europe. The total output of the power plants of all members of the association is 302 gigawatts , of which 100 GW are renewable and 202 GW are thermal power plants. (All information as of January 2017)

activities

VGB PowerTech is now internationally active in the generation and storage of electricity and heat. VGB PowerTech deals with all types of generation (renewables - wind, water, biomass, geothermal, concentrating solar thermal -, classic, thermal power plants, etc.).

In addition to this main task, VGB PowerTech eV coordinates joint activities of its members on:

  • Planning, construction and operation of all types of power generation systems,
  • Definition of the state of science and technology in classic, conventional power plants and renewable energies (here: water, wind, biomass, geothermal energy, concentrating solar thermal energy),
  • Provision of a neutral technical discussion platform for planners , manufacturers and owners of all types of power generation systems,
  • Coordination of research and development projects in the power generation industry
The simulator center of KSG / GfS, today together with the KRAFTWERKSSCHULE EV the "Energie-Campus Deilbachtal"

The association provides various services for its members such as technological advice on questions of power plant technology, a laboratory for damage analysis and construction and assembly supervision on power plant construction sites . The training of the personnel in power plants is carried out by the independent Kraftwerkschule eV in Essen-Kupferdreh . At the local site and at the VGB site, a total of nine control rooms have been set up for simulation, which simulate the operation of fossil-fueled power plants. Mainframes simulate realistically the processes of the simulated power plants. The mosaic systems in the control rooms are mostly 1: 1 replicas of the original control rooms of the power plants.

The association has its own limited liability company , VGB PowerTech Service GmbH, responsible for the distribution of specialist literature and other publications .

VGB standards (new) / VGB guidelines (previously)

The VGB working groups are constantly working on the further development and publication of guidelines and leaflets, which are seen as standard by power plant operators in Germany and increasingly in Europe. Conversion of the VGB guidelines and leaflets into VGB standards: As part of the Europeanization of VGB PowerTech eV, all VGB guidelines and VGB leaflets have been published in German and English since August 1, 2011 and under the new name VGB- Standards (VGB-S). The guidelines are an example:

  • VGB-B 101: RDS-PP , reference identification system for power plants, identification letters for power plant systems (system key)
