SIPOS Aktorik has received its largest single order in its eight year history. SIPOS’ variable speed actuators were chosen by Siemens Power Generation to supply RWE Power for a new power plant under construction in Grevenbroich-Neurath, Germany. The double block plant, due to begin production in approximately four year’s time, will have a total capacity of 2100MW and will become the world’s largest lignite-fired power plant. Over 3000 actuators will be supplied to the new plant. All SIPOS actuators supplied to the plant will be equipped with redundant Profibus DP with V1/V2 services, external Com-SIPOS interface and separate electronics unit mounting. The actuator model supplied by SIPOS will be the Profitron with LCD. RWE Power is investing over EUR 2 billion into the project, which is seen as playing an important role in climate protection.
