Description
The project was developed by MVV O&M and is currently owned by MVV Energie.
The project generates 190GWh electricity and supplies enough clean energy to power 37,000 households, offsetting 77,000t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year. The project cost is $305.955m.
The process of combustion has been adopted in this combined heat and power (CHP) project to release the stored energy from the feed. Industrial waste and municipal solid waste are used as a feedstock to power the project.
Development Status
The project got commissioned in October 2015.
Contractors Involved
Siemens Energy was selected as the steam turbine supplier for the project. The company supplied SST-400 model turbines for the project.
Baumgarte Boiler Systems supplied steam boiler for the project. The temperature witnessed inside the boiler is around 420Degree Celsius. The steam is pressurized inside the boiler at 60bar.Siemens Energy supplied the electric generator for the project.
