CCGT Plants in Germany - NW & RP

Dormagen Location: NW Operator: RWE Power Configuration: 450-MW, 2+1 CCGT block with V94.2A gas turbines CHP Fuel: natural gas Operation: 2000 HRSG supplier: Stork T/G supplier: Siemens EPC: Siemens Quick facts: In Mar 1997, RWE announced it would build a $400mn CHPplant at Bayer’s massive chemical works. The project was a complex undertaking that included modifying an existing gas turbine to feed an existing boiler and construction of a new CHP block.  Total capacity is 560-MWe and up to 490 metric tons/hr of process steam. The new CCGT plant took 20mos to build and these were the first V94.2A machines in service. RWE also took control of an existing Bayer gas-fired CHP plant at the site.

After 2yrs of construction the €200mn CCGT was officially opened on 31 Oct 2007 at a ceremony attended by 400 guests. A long-term gas supply agreement has been made with Wingas GmbH. The first power plant of the municipal company Kommunales Elektrizitätswerk Mark AG, now Mark-E, was commissioned at this site on Harkortsee lake in 1908 and two 3-MW turbosets were added on 6 Jun 1908. The power station is named after one of the Mark-E's founders, the former Mayor of Hagen Willi Cuno. In 2004, two 2-MW Deutz gas engines and high-temperature boilers were built to supply district heating for around 1,400 customers. The complex also includes the Hagen-Kabel power station and training facilities.

The plant is wholly-owned by Statkraft and cost around €400mn. Construction work started in the summer of 2005, and it required around 1.5mn construction manhours. In Apr 2006, Fortum was awarded a 6yr operation and maintenance contract for the new power station. Photograph courtesy of InfraServ Knapsack GmbH Re-posted 18 Feb 2011
Lemgo West Location: NW Operator: Stadtwerke Lemgo Configuration: 12.8 MW, 2+1 CCGT with CX501-KB7 gas turbines CHP Fuel: natural gas,diesel oil Operation: 2001-2002 HRSG supplier: Alstom T/G supplier: Solar, Centrax, Tuthill-Nadrowski EPC: Beratende Ingenieure Rejek, Ing Buro Richter Quick facts: In 2001 the first KB7 package replaced an earlier KA 571 and a similar replacement was completed in 2002. Electricity produced is fed into the local grid and heat into the local DHS system. The installation produces a constant load of approximately 50% of Lemgo’s electricity requirements (42,000 inhabitants) and approximately 60% of the district heating requirement of more than 1,000 households and industrial customers.
