Our HSZG at the municipal utilities

With "A day for you", Stadtwerke Zittau is organizing an interesting family day for young and old on 28 May from 13:00 to 18:00 on the company premises on Friedensstraße in Zittau. In a new guise with lots of surprises, interesting facts and insights into the areas of electricity, gas, water and district heating.

A wide range of activities await young and old:

• interesting insights into how your municipal utility generates electricity and heat,
• a journey into the world of renewable energies at Biomethan Zittau GmbH,
• a tour of high-tech test facilities at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences in the power plant laboratory,
• experiments and science shows with iQLANDIA from Liberec,
• a colorful supporting program with music and shows,
• interesting facts about energy and water,
• fun and games for the little ones,
• a public utility quiz for the whole family,
• food & drinks from local suppliers

...and much more.

Our university will also be presenting a wide range of interesting topics from our teaching and research activities.

On the one hand, the Energy Technology Cabinet (ETK) will be opening its doors. Here you have the opportunity to visit the ETK with its former Zittau teaching and research reactor. On the upper floor, you can also see how a so-called reactor start is simulated. On the same level, small experiments in regenerative energy technology are offered, in which, for example, a hydrogen-powered fuel cell sets a small vehicle (scale 1:20) in motion. In the basement, a so-called cloud chamber awaits you, which enables the visualization of alpha and beta radiation. In addition, the Faculty of Business Administration and Engineering Management will offer two simulations dealing with regional energy markets and the optimization of CHP plants respectively.

In addition to the ETK, the Zittau Power Plant Laboratory (ZKWL) will also be taking part. You will have the opportunity to view modern large-scale test facilities from the field of energy research and find out about current research tasks from the scientists from the Institute of Process Engineering, Process Automation and Measurement Technology (IPM), the largest research institute at the HSZG. In addition, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering will present themselves and carry out various small experiments.

Of course, there will also be the opportunity to find out about studying engineering in Zittau.

The participation of the HSZG in the Open Day of the SWZ is an expression of the traditionally grown and very good cooperation between the two institutions.

Just come and visit us!
