Rostock Power Station

F2

The power plant Rostock is powered with coal power plant on the eastern edge of the city of Rostock in Mecklenburg- Vorpommern. It is operated by the power plant and grid mbH ( KNG ). The power plant construction began in June 1991. On 20 September 1994 the commissioning ceremony was held on 1 October 1994 began the continuous operation.

Specifications

The power plant at Rostock has a thermal capacity of 1370 MW over a gross electrical output of 553 MW and a net capacity of 509 MW. In this case, up to 1650 metric tons of steam for the steam turbine are manufactured per hour. In addition, falls in flue gas desulfurization of flue gases as a waste product gypsum on. The power is supplied via the switchgear Bentwisch on the 380 kV high- voltage level in the power grid of the transmission system operator 50 Hertz Transmission.

The power plant is designed for a district heating extraction of up to 300 MW, about 150 MW have so far been realized.

Without use of district heating, the power plant reached after operator data an overall efficiency of 43.2 %, the operator is in joint use of the residual heat for district heating (300 MW) at a maximum efficiency of 62.0 %, with the previously unrealized use of district heating of 150 MW, the efficiency lies on the operator information at 52.6 %.

The cooling tower (total amount 141.5 m) is used simultaneously as a stack, the flue gases are thereby introduced into the clouds of steam above the Verrieselungsebene.

Power plant and grid mbH

The power plant and grid mbH, which today operates the power plant, was founded in 1990. She was responsible for the planning and construction of the power plant in the port of Rostock. Shareholders today are the companies:

• EnBW ( 50.4 % share was acquired with effect from 1 January 2010 from E.ON )
• Rhein Energie AG ( 49.6 % share, with effect from February 1, 2011 by Vattenfall Europe [ by then 25%] and RWE Power [ up to that 24.6 %] ) over
