Explore Germany's conventional power plant landscape through an in-depth conference talk that examines the current state and future of the country's energy infrastructure during the transition period. Discover how the plantwatch.de project evolved from a simple table of official power plant data into a comprehensive OpenData platform that combines three data sources to analyze the capacity utilization and efficiency of conventional power plants across Germany. Learn about the technical challenges encountered during the development process and gain fundamental understanding of how conventional power plants operate. Examine why Germany's coal phase-out is progressing more slowly compared to countries like the United Kingdom, and analyze specific power plants ranging from complete failures to world record holders. The presentation covers the ongoing energy transition, discusses both successes and major setbacks in Germany's power generation sector, and provides insights into current trends and future developments. Conclude with a forward-looking perspective on the German power plant landscape and participate in an interactive Q&A session, with content accessible to those with basic technical understanding comparable to knowing how a bicycle dynamo works.
