Power Generation in Transition
About the theme
Remember when you got your first mobile phone? It was not smart yet, but still it disrupted yourlive as you could suddenly make phone calls from almost any place your provider covered. Oneof the early challenges was that remembering to recharge your phone was a routine disruptionthat soon became a new routine. The rise of renewables, mobile and digital technologies in theenergy industry worldwide requires similar adjustments. Over the past decade, the disparity
between utilities is growing fast, with those owners gaining a competitive advantage, who arewilling to modernize their business models while others who work against or delay change willlose ground. The majority of global installed capacity is still conventional generation, with coalholding the lead. As those units age – especially when they find themselves in changing markets
or regions requiring more challenging operating profiles – they will need modernization andflexibilization in line with new business models.

About the Joint Event

VGB CONGRESSIERE WORKSHOPThe Joint Event is the collaboration of IERE Workshop and VGB Congress titled as thecommon theme of “Power Generation in Transition” to be held between September 11 and 14 in
Munich, Germany.
All participants have the opportunity to join the lectures of both events
without limitation and to exchange information together in the common
break areas and the exhibition areas as well as the joint Get-Together inthe exhibition, the Joint Evening Event and the Joint Technical visit.

Who should attend?
The Workshop is intended for experts actively involved in the selected themes, from IERE
members, non-members and academia, as well as all those interested in the evolution of theelectrical power industry and the technology development and business development
opportunities associated to this evolution. IERE will invite prominent speakers for keynote
speeches.

Session Themes:
Session structure may be subject to change according to the registration of speakers. There is apossibility we ask you to change from Oral Session to Poster Session in accordance with thenumber of submission of abstracts.

Session 1 - Penetration of Renewable Energies
The unpredictability of renewable assets that operate only when the wind blows and the sun
shines require changes to operational models. More frequent cycling, start/stops, andramping of assets cause faster equipment wear. In addition, a cleaner, greener and integrated
grid requires the solid foundation of a modernized, upgraded and expanded transmission
system. This session will focus on the development and integration of various technologies
and systems to adapt to changes in strategy and operational models.
Potential topics include:• Flexible generation solutions – technology and operational advancements• HRSG design to meet next generation cycling and efficiency requirements• Transmission as enabler – current challenges and innovations in grid technologies• Case studies of utility transitions

2

Session 2 - The Greener Side of Generation
There is a growing trend in the power industry to shift away from coal-fuelled generation
toward clean power. However the crux of the clean energy debate is that it comes at a price,
both fiscal and social. There is a cost to eliminate smog and greenhouse gases bytransforming plants to clean coal technologies. This session will focus on technology options,
technology selection and grid access issues related to clean power applications and researchfindings.
Potential topics include:• Biomass-to-energy conversion project examples• Biomass conversion – technical options and challenges• Carbon capture, storage and utilization (CCUS) – project examples and assessment Studies

Session 3 - Showcasing Innovations for Power Generation
This session will focus on cases studies, application experiences and research findings
within the electricity supply industry in deploying new technologies such as digital solutions,big data applications, internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence and robotics.
Potential topics include:• Energy and Battery Storage – applications in future generation• Asset Management – case studies of digital innovations in plant operation and maintenance• Big Data – intelligence software and advanced analysis• Cyber security – safety check 4.0• Smart grid technologies

Session 4 - Generating More Efficiently
Market forces and policies are driving the energy industry to reduce carbon emissions
implementing advanced reduction technologies. This session will focus on the latest
technology trends and options aiming to reduce emissions, improve efficiency and lower
generation costs.
Potential topics include:• Technical, operational and IT aspects of boosting energy efficiency• Energy efficiency case studies

Poster Session
There is no poster session in this Workshop

THE MUNICH HOFBRÄUHAUS: WHERE THE WHOLE WORLD MEETS UP
Munich, beer and the Hofbräuhaus – they’ve all belonged together for the past 400 years.
Since the early 19th century, the famous beer cellar at the heart of the city has been a magnet
for the people of Munich and travelers from every corner of the globe. Its delicious beer,
traditional specialities, legendary “Gemütlichkeit” and fascinating history have made the
Hofbräuhaus into the most famous beer cellar in the world.
On September 27, 1589, Duke Wilhelm V founded a brewery on the site of the Munich royalresidence of that time. This first Hofbräuhaus lasted till the year 1808 and was only a few steps
away from today’s one. Maximilian I built his ducal Weissbier brewery in 1607, thus laying
the historical foundations of today’s Hofbräuhaus.
Half the daily visitors are regulars. And one of them is actually an angel – if the old legend
about the “Münchner im Himmel” is to be believed: Alois Hingerl, the main figure in the story,
was a regular at the Hofbräuhaus all his life. When he died and arrived in heaven he irritated a
lot of people there by being so homesick for Munich. He moaned so much that eventually God
decided to have mercy on him, and sent him back to his old home on a mission for theBavarian government. But the moment angel Aloisius smelt the air of Munich again, he forgot
all about his divine mission and flew straight off to the Hofbräuhaus. There he finally foundpeace of mind, and has been enjoying one beer after the other ever since. And to this day, so
ends the tale, the Bavarian government has been waiting in vain for divine inspiration.

Sauerlach Geothermal Plant – Stadtwerke München
A geothermal energy source is hot thermal water drawn out of easily permeable limestone layers
in what is known as the Malm aquifer, a geological stratum found in wide parts of the region.
Munich is located right on top of a huge reservoir of natural energy source: hot-water
accumulations with temperatures ranging from 80 °C to 100 °C are located below the surface ofthe earth at a depth of 2,000 metres (northern city limits) to 3,000 metres (southern city limits).
The heat from these geothermal sources is ideally suited for use in heating . This involves
pumping the hot water to the surface and channelling it through heat exchangers where its
energy is extracted. The cooled water is then fed back into the deep -lying reservoir. The
geothermal power cycle thus does not impact on the ecosystem.
In Sauerlach, the thermal water temperature is much higher than in Munich – more than 140 °C
at a depth of about 4,200 metres. As a result, the thermal water can also be used for electricity
generation, not just for heating purposes. The Sauerlach geothermal combined-heat-and-power
plant delivers electricity to 16,000 households while simultaneously providing heating for
Sauerlach households.
