WINGAS and E.ON built in Germany are highly efficient CHP in the endpoint NORD STREAM PIPELINE
Partners have just set up a special company Industriekraftwerk Greifswald, which will deal with construction and operation of this facility. This cogeneration plant, construction of which is scheduled for completion in early 2013, will produce both thermal and electrical energy.
Usable heat capacity of the plant will be about 47 MW and electric power - about 37 mW. To generate electricity be applied to a gas turbine generator. Waste heat of the gas turbine is passed through a heat exchanger and used for preheating the gas.
During periods of peak load plant will produce up to 200,000 megawatt-hours of electricity per year, enough to make for a year supply electricity to 50,000 households.
Heat energy is needed in Lubmin, as the gas coming in Lubmin after a long journey on Baltic Sea pipeline, will need to warm up before further transportation by land pipelines. The high efficiency of the system (more than 85% of energy use) is achieved through the combined generation of heat and electricity, which will prevent the emission of 40,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
The electricity will be fed into the public electricity network, and on the very coast station will use the waste heat.
`Not every technology can so quickly achieve such high performance. This CHP indicates that as natural gas and gas technologies can contribute to the success of the new energy policy #39;, - said the WINGAS Chairman Dr. Gerhard König. `Cogeneration, combined with renewable energy sources, promote energy services with a small amount of CO2 emissions#39; - said Gerhard Koenig.
These systems operate without hesitation and have high efficacy parameters. However, taken as a new energy course is too often overlooked is effective. #39;More effective partner in renewable energy simply can not be `- said Gerhard Koenig.
`Decentralized power production - an important element of the New Deal in the energy sector in Germany. With this setting, we not only contribute to the development of an efficient decentralized energy generation, but also provide uninterrupted transportation of natural gas - energy carrier `gentle climate - the chairman of the Directorate E.ON Deutschland Ingo Luga. `The production of heat and electricity using proven and efficient cogeneration technology, we will develop in the future #39;- said Ingo Luga.
WINGAS (WINGAS) - one of the largest suppliers of natural gas in Germany. The energy company sells natural gas throughout Europe, supplying its customers in Belgium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Austria, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Among his clients - companies urban and regional gas suppliers, industrial firms and power plants.
The company E.ON Energy Projects provides heat and electricity supply industrial consumers. The company develops customized concepts, is engaged in construction and financing of production facilities, as well as their exploitation in collaboration with customers. The total installed capacity of the projects carried out by E.ON Energy Projects or sold with its participation has exceeded 1,600 MW.
