Studstrup Power Station

F2

The power plant Studstrup is a Danish coal-fired power plant in the Dong Energy. It is north of Aarhus at the Kalo Vig and was commissioned in 1968.

Technology

The power plant is built as a thermal power station, which means it is used in combined heat and power, and in addition to electricity for the general power grid also generates 90 % of the district of the city of Arhus. In addition to oil and coal, biomass is burned in the form of straw. For power plant startup and for special operating situations, mineral oil is used as fuel.

There are now only the power plant units 3 and 4 Each of the two blocks has a maximum net power of 350 megawatts ( MW) and a maximum district heat output of 455 MW. At full load, 120 tons of coal or 73 tons of oil per hour are consumed. Extraction condensation turbines are exposed to steam having a temperature of 540 ° C and a pressure of 250 bar. The exhaust gases of both blocks are released on a common 190 -meter high chimney with two individual exhaust pipes inside. The power plant has no cooling tower, but the heat of the capacitors is dissipated by once-through cooling at the sea water of the Kalo Vig.

Block 3 is connected to the 150 kV high- voltage grid and block 4 to the 400 - kV high- voltage grid. The connection to the district heating network is via two pairs of lines with a tube diameter of 2 m. In order to decouple electricity generation and district heating supply in time, has the power station via a district heating tank with a volume of 30,000 cubic meters of water. The power plant has a coal storage for 800,000 tons of coal, which is the normal consumption of seven months. In addition, the power plant has an oil bearing, consisting of seven tanks with a volume of 25,000 m³.

Through a 12 MW gas turbine power plant site is black bootable.

Others

In the power plant employs around 130 people.
