Coal-Fired Plants in Denmark

Avedore Location: Denmark Operator: Dong Energy A/S Configuration: 1 X 250 MW, 1 X 570 MW CHP Operation: 1990-2002 Fuel: natural gas, coal, biomass, oil Boiler supplier: Deutsche Babcock, BWE T/G supplier: BBC, Ansaldo Quick facts: Avedore supplies electricity to Eastern Denmark's grid and heat to Greater Copenhagen's district heating network. Avedore-2 has a supercritical boiler with two topping gas turbines from Rolls-Royce. There is a separate biomass combustion unit.

Asnaes also supplies heat for the local municipality and process heat for neighboring companies, some of which also use combustion byproducts for their raw material inputs. Asnaes burned orimulsion for a time, but the fule was discontinued by PDVSA in 2004.

The unit has ESPs, a wet limestone scrubber from FLS Miljo, and an SCR system retrofit in 1996 by a consortium of ABB, Deutsche Babcock, and Haldor Topsoe. A biomass boiler was added in 1998. The plant has a 29ha site on Aabenraa Fjord. Photograph courtesy of Elsam A/S Posted 3 Jan 2003
Esbjerg Location: Denmark Operator: Dong Energy A/S Configuration: 1 X 131 MW, 1 X 257 MW, 1 X 350 MW CHP Operation: 1965-1992 Fuel: hard coal, oil Boiler supplier: BPL, Stein T/G supplier: BBC, ABB Quick facts: Esbjerg-3 has a capacity of 350 MWe and 500 MJ/S heat. Jesper Lahn was the architect for the 78m boiler building and boiler support structure in collaboration with Danish consultancies ISC and Techwise A/S. In the rear are Blocks 1&2 (131 MW coal-fired and 257 MW oil-fired, respectively), both now out of service.

Randers Location: Denmark Operator: Energi Randers A/S Configuration: 1 X 52 MW CHP Operation: 1982 Fuel: hard coal, oil, biomass Boiler supplier: Deutsche Babcock T/G supplier: BBC Quick facts: This CHP station serves approximately 60,000 people. The unit was commissioned in 1982 with two spreader-stoker coal-fired boilers and retrofit in 2002/2003 with an Aalborg Energie Technik biomass injection port co-firing system. The plant can now run with a maximum of 75% biomass or 100% coal in single mode. The biomass system is designed for various granulated biomass products such as meat and bone meal, olive stones or shea nuts. AET handled the retrofitting of the two boilers on a turnkey basis.
