The Thomas Munzer-school harvests electricity from solar energy, a small photovoltaic system on the school hall roof. Yesterday the school was a station on the regional tour of Eon-Edis. Under the theme "Energy for the region" are visited by the end of 14 schools in the coverage area between the Baltic and flaming. This involves the question of how the power comes into the house, but also to vocational training, because good junior is needed. Currently, the company provides a total of 250 young people.
"We want young people to raise awareness of renewable energy, increase their awareness of the finiteness of fossil sources and show that we are as a partner in the local network operators and service providers locally," explains the head of municipal management, Burghard Heppke that concern. Big topic yesterday was the wind, water and solar generated electricity. Were from Baltic to Fläming installed in the field of Eon-Edis 4200 megawatts of renewable power, the students listened. According to investor requests will be doubled, according to the Heppke, was necessary, therefore, a network upgrade. Alone in Brandenburg further 233 km 110 kV line would be needed.
While Heppke and foreman Thomas Lennecke who himself lives in Leatherhead, shared with the teachers, the roles and lectured before the split into groups of 38 tenth graders, joined Mario Lahne by the operating service of web masters division to them in 1960, built in 1996 on the "Western Standard" upgraded transformer station station on. There will be transformed by the transmission line from the substation Kirchmöser incoming voltage from 15 to 000 volt outlet ready supply voltage of 230 volts. "Interesting," was the conclusion of the students, because they had never seen the inside of a transformer station. Outside, they should be artistically designed with a graffiti project after the autumn break - and a cable distribution cabinet in the station road. From the Bad Belzig be made by the Office Wusterwitz Niemegk in the north to the south to 1,260 square kilometers, approximately 17 000 household connections, serves nearly 3,000 kilometers of power cable and 500 substations.
Could impoverish the tenth graders built on an ergometer. In 15 minutes they should ride in groups, the approximately 19-kilometer distance from the school office to Görzke Ziesar what was to create little. It's fun.
"We have gladly accepted the project," said head teacher Birgit miracle. "Because it fits into our profile with professional preparation and practice of learning." And by the utility presented 500 € could make good use of the school. "The topic of energy that is the current on the schedule," said physics teacher Ina Wegener. As the power comes into the house, will be discussed shortly. "The students will also have to build yourself a transformer and make measurements."
