Coal- and Lignite-Fired Plants in Slovakia

 

Novaky (ENO)
Location: Slovakia
Operator: Slovenske Elektrarne
Configuration: 1 X 22 MW, 1 X 32 MW, 1 X 38 MW, 4 X 110 MW CHP
Fuel: lignite (ENO A), lignite, oil (ENO B)
Operation: 1953-1976
Boiler supplier: Brno, Tlmace
T/G supplier: Skoda
Quick facts: ENO-A construction began in 1949 and was completed in 1957 when the plant had ten boilers and eight T/G sets. ENO-B was built between 1963 and 1976. In 1996, a CFB and new back-pressure T/G was erected at the A plant on space previously occupied by retired sets. In 1998, two of the 110-MW units were retrofit with FGD scrubbers. The ENO heating system supplies 15,000 homes in Prievidza and steam to nearby industrial works.

Vojany (EVO)
Location: Slovakia
Operator: Slovenske Elektrarne
Configuration: 12 X 110 MW
Fuel: hard coal (EVO I), natural gas, oil (EVO II)
Operation: 1966-1974
Boiler supplier: Brno, Lurgi
T/G supplier: Skoda
EPC: Energoprojekt Prague, Škoda Pilsen, Chemkostav Humenné
Quick facts: EVO I planning began in Nov 1959, the project was approved in Feb 1960, and construction began the following year. Design fuel was semi-anthracite coal imported from Ukraine by a purpose built wide-gauge rail line and the Zemplínska Šírava reservoir was built to supply cooling water. EVO II was approved at the end of 1966 but the then Soviet Union was unable to supply sufficient coal for the new plant so the design fuel was switched to heavy oil. From 1979-1985, EVO II was modified to fire natural gas as well. The main plant stack is 300m high.
