Diesel and Gas-Engine Power Plants in Germany 

AMD Fab 36 Location: SN Operator: AMD Dresden Fab 36 LLC & Co KG Configuration: 9 X 3.9-MW TCG2032 V16 engines CHP Operation: 2005-2006 Fuel: natural gas E/G supplier: Deutz EPC: Deutz, ABO AG Energie + Anlagen Quick facts: This complex trigeneration installation supplies an AMD 300mm wafer semiconductor plant. It was completed in two stages, six engines in Apr 2005 and three in Oct 2006, and can deliver 35 MW of electricity, 38 MW of heat and 53 MW of refrigeration. The leanburn engines each have a multistage train producing steam and hot water with three 5.8-MW double-effect absorption chillers and two 3.2-MW single-effect chillers, five 5.9-MW turbo-compression chillers, 14 cooling towers (each at 6.5 MW/cell), two 11.7-MWt, and a 5.0 MWe flywheel power conditioning device. The overall energy efficiency reaches 85%. The 20kV voltage fab requires power quality of ± 8% and ± 1% frequency tolerance. Heating and cooling temperature tolerances are ± 1°K.

Biogas is from grass, corn, and chicken dung. Electricity is supplied to the grid and  thermal energy is used for onsite heating or to dry grain and wood chips.

Klarsee Location: MV Operator: Nawaro Bioenergie AG Configuration: 20 X 500-kW JMS 312 engines Operation: 2007 Fuel: biogas E/G supplier: Jenbacher EPC: EnviTec Biogas Quick facts: In Oct 2006, GE Energy received an order for the gas engines for the world's largest integrated biogas power station in Klarsee, Penkun, near the Polish border. Fuel is obtained by fermenting agricultural waste. Electricity is be sold to the local grid and thermal energy is used by an adjacent fertilizer production facility. The first module began operations in Nov 2006. About 60 agricultural enterprises and farmers from both Germany and Poland deliver approximately 300,000 tpy of specially bred maize silage, 60,000 tpy of manure and 20,000 tpy of grain.

In Jan 1997, a new tri-generation CHP plant was proposed and this was completed the following year. The thermal load for each engine is about 2.2 MW each. Only three of the four engines are required for regular operation. A 120m³ heat buffer storage tank was integrated into the network. By May 2009, the engines had amassed a combined 200,000hrs of operation.
