Praxisforum Bayern

MW Sponsor

The Praxisforum Geothermie.Bayern

In the South of Bavaria exists worldwide unique conditions for geothermal low-enthalpy energy production. More than 25 projects are already operating, furhter are under construction and in planning. The Praxisforum Geothermie.Bayern from September 11 to 12, 2017 offers the possibility to profit from the experiences and the know-how of the local actors and build up useful contacts. In the heart of Bavaria - in the center of Germany's energy production.

Steady growing interest

Since the first event in 2013 the interest in the Praxisforum Geothermie.Bayern grows contiously. Meanwhile the participants doubled and since in 2016 a simultaneous translation was adopted, the Praxisforum becam and intertation orientation.One of the benefirts of the event ist the independant programme management with several invited presentatons in step with actual practice related to certain topics. In additions to the presentations there is also plenty of room for discussions about ttopical foci and intensive networking. The Lounge after the congress, where all participants, speakers and sponsors are invited, perfects the two days event.

Field Trip Sponsor

Turboden S.p.A.

Turboden is a leading European company in development and production of ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) turbogenerators. This state of the art equipment generates heat and power from renewable sources and heat recovery in industrial processes. Turboden ORC units generate up to 15 MW electric per unit. Larger installations can be obtained by coupling a number of units.

1:00 pm - 7:00 pm Field Trips

In the afternoon of September 11, 2017 two field trips are offered.Content

E1: Field trip to geothermal power plants

- Field Trip

The field trip will visit the Turboden power plant in Traunreut. During arrival the engineers of Turboden will be available to answer all questions regarding the power plant and the installed ORC cylce. In Traunreut you will visit the power plant as well as the district heating part of the plant. Catering will be provided.

E2: Field trip to geothermal district heating plants

The second trip offers to visit the wells and the heating exchange units of thedistrict heating plant in Munich-Freiham and Unterschleißheim. This first is the most recent drilled project of the Stadtwerke München, distributing heat to a new district in the West of Munich. After the stop at the SWM station the field trip continues to the geothermal heating plant in Unterschleißheim of the GTU AG. Whereas Freiham is the youngest heating plant in the Bavarian Molasse Basin, the Unterschleißheim plant is one of the oldest, which is in operation since 2005. Meanwhile the GTU AG managed to be in the black. Here you also get the possibility to taste the thermal water from the Upper Jurassic reservoir in the nearby bath.

Point of departure is the same for either field trip (E1-power/E2-heat).

1 pm/13.00 h
Departure at the northern exit of Munich main station, exit Arnulfstrasse, Munich
7 pm/19.00 Uhr
Arrival at the northern exit of Munich main station, exit Arnulfstrasse, Munich

Please note: The actual arrival time may differ from the time schedule. Please consider any deviation for your further planning.

Participants are asked themselves to take care of solid shoes and suitable cloths for the weather.

9:00 am - 10:45 am Welcome and Keynotes

After the welcome speech by the organiser there will be three keynotes in the plenum. This first session of the event will be closed by the "Speed Dating" where exhibitors and sponsors can introduce themselves shortly.
