Electrical engineering implementation for a new solar thermal plant in Erkrath

Emil Koch Elektrotechnik GmbH has been commissioned by the Erkrath municipal utilities to handle the complete electrical engineering for the new solar thermal plant at the Erkrath-Millrath site. The project is part of an innovative combined heat and power (CHP) plant that combines highly efficient combined heat and power with renewable heat generation and is intended to make a significant contribution to the sustainable heat supply of the region.

The core of the contract encompasses the planning, delivery, installation, and commissioning of the complete electrical infrastructure. This includes, among other things, the medium-voltage system, busbar distribution boards, the new low-voltage main distribution board, a 1 MW electric boiler, the lighting and power supply systems, as well as all cabling, protection, and documentation services. As part of the project, Emil Koch Elektrotechnik is also responsible for integrating the systems into the plant's overarching control and monitoring system.

The work is being carried out in close coordination with the Erkrath municipal utilities and the participating trades. The aim is to implement a technically sophisticated and operationally reliable system that meets current requirements for efficiency, safety and availability and supports the site's future heat supply in the long term.

With this order, Emil Koch Elektrotechnik GmbH expands its activities in the field of modern energy and heating technology and once again demonstrates its capabilities in complex projects in the area of ​​public infrastructure.
