Theiss Thermal Power Plant
With a total effect reaching 800 megawatts, the thermal power plant in Theiss holds a significant role in bringing a consistent and reliable supply of power, gas and heat to the Northern part of Lower Austria. The power plant was built in 1974 and consists of two units. In one of the units, the control gear needed a complete renewal in 2008.
The end-user
EVN AG/Theiss Thermal Power Plant
The Thermal Power Plant in Theiss plays an important part in supplying heat, power and gas to the Northern part of Lower Austria. Fuelled by oil and natural gas, the total effect of the thermal power plant reaches 800 megawatts. The power plant was built in 1974 and consists of two units.
The Project
The control gear in one of the units needed a total renewal that included an up-to-date technical solution. To obtain this, Logstrup provided a type-tested low voltage control panel with two assemble busbar systems. The busbar systems were supplied by two substations. As the thermal power plants hold such an important role in supplying reliable energy in an efficient manner, it is important to prioritize uptime during operation and maintenance. To ensure this, the two busbar systems were connected by a bus-coupler. The incomer section performs with an effect of 1250kVA and is equipped with the type tested Logstrup Omega control gear system.
The Challenge
Since the thermal power plant is from 1974 and only one of the two units needed a renewal, it was necessary to find a solution that would work with the original parts of the power plant. The thermal power plant needs to provide a reliable consistent supply of gas, power and heat which requires a high level of security to avoid downtime. Furthermore, the system needed to be easily maintainable due to the high impact environment.

Why Logstrup
A flexible solution that caters to customer demands
The Logstrup Modular System offers an array of customisable solutions. Based on the original 190mm measurement, the modular system can be modified in depth, width and height depending on customer needs. For this project, the flexibility and uncomplicated modification rendered the client with a solution fit for a renewal where old and new systems had to collaborate. The modular system offers easy configurations and flexible solutions for future extensions.
Other case stories
Mozyrsalt, Belarus
Mozyrsalt needed to replace 0.4 kV of old low voltage panels with new panels within one of the workshop transformer stations, without the need to close down operation longer than necessary. Strict delivery time for the shelf equipment was the essential requirement for the project execution.
Al Dar Properties
As part of reviving a historic landmark in Abu Dhabi –a central market known as the souq- our partner was tasked to supplying all low voltage requirements for Al Dar Properties' large real estate development. The task required modular and space-optimized solutions, as parts of the panels had to fit into limited space. Thanks to the flexibility of the Logstrup Modular System combined with the expertise of our partner, a customized solution was possible.
The Great Belt link
Logstrup will supply high-quality low voltage solutions for the Great Belt Link (Storebæltsforbindelsen) in 2020. In 1991, Logstrup was tasked to supply the first electrical switchgear for the tunnels, and they have worked flawlessly ever since.
Primary Switchboard for Marine Mining Vessel
This project required a high level of modularity and flexibility that allowed for unique design features. The Main Distribution Board had to comply with Marine standards as well as fit into a narrow space. The solution was an impressive U-shaped design.
Sleaford Renewable Energy Plant
Logstrup is supplying cabinets for the main supply and distribution for substations for 400V and 690V AC and Control Boards for Boiler, Common auxiliaries, Building services, Steam auxiliaries and Straw handling. In total 280 modules of cabinet.
