Companies power plant current environment Contact Welcome to the Mehrum power plant KWM Aktuell: Open employee letter to the Federal Chancellor One push of a button - and the power is there Electricity has become an everyday companion in our lives. Whether household, traffic, work or leisure. Depending on your needs, as power, heat or light. We've gotten so used to it that we don't even notice it anymore. The constant availability of electricity is by no means a matter of course, because electrical energy cannot be stored in large quantities like oil or gas. It is therefore necessary to always produce electricity at the same time as the current demand. And this often has to be done very quickly: for example in the morning when thousands of machines, computers and other devices are started or the lights are switched on everywhere within a few minutes at dusk. Our power plant The technical system of a power plant is complex. Here you will find the KWM video library, technical data and clear information graphics. Power generation The principle of generating electricity is actually quite simple. Find out what connects your bike to our system here. environmental Protection Environmental protection is a top priority at KWM. We have compiled the details of the complex measures here. That's why people at the Mehrum power plant don't have to go after work: Around 110 employees ensure around the clock that the electricity we need every day is available at the push of a button.

Companies power plant current environment Contact The dynamo principle Steam flows out of the boiler's tubes onto the turbine blades and converts into kinetic energy: the steam turns the turbine rotor and thus the connected generator. In principle, the generator is similar to a bicycle dynamo: A rotating electromagnet, the rotor, cuts the windings of the stator with its force field and produces electricity - in the KWM with an output of 750 million watts. The power plant thus covers the needs of around 700,000 households and numerous businesses from industry and trade.
