The Stuttgart-Münster power plant is a steam bus power plant consisting of a waste incinerator and coal boilers as well as 3 gas turbines (fuel oil) in Stuttgart . Depending on the situation, it is operated by EnBW AG with heat or electricity as a thermal power station. The EnBW power plant, which has existed since 1908 and is located directly on the Neckar , also has three gas turbines for pure electricity generation. From 1933 to 1976, the Stuttgart-Münster power station also generated traction current. The majority of the facility belongs to the Stuttgart- Bad Cannstatt district , only the coal store and the garbage bunker, whose connection to the waste incineration plant is crossed by the Stuttgart-Münster railway viaduct , are in the Münster district .

On the chimney built in 1964, 180 meters high and between 14 and 8 meters in diameter, there are also several transmitting antennas for local radio stations.

Overview and technical data

The power plant has an output of 109.5 MW el and 450 MW th . The plant complex consists of a total of three coal boilers, three garbage boilers, two condensation turbines , a back pressure turbine and the gas turbine system (consisting of three individual turbines) (oil firing) and a total garbage bunker.

coal-fired power station

The entire cogeneration plant is usually operated with a power / heat coupling. Mostly during the heating season, up to three coal boilers can be operated in addition to waste incineration. All boilers are operated with steam parameters of 510 ° C / 60 bar. The heat generated in this way is used for district heating in Stuttgart (together with the Stuttgart-Gaisburg and Altbach / Deizisau thermal power stations ) and to generate electrical energy. The Münster power plant has three steam turbines for this purpose .

The exhaust gas from the coal combustion is desulfurized in the flue gas desulfurization system (FGD). This system was built directly above Neckartalstrasse.

Incineration

In the Münster power plant, waste from parts of Stuttgart and from the Rems-Murr district, the Esslingen, Reutlingen, Tübingen, Heilbronn and Konstanz districts as well as the Zollernalb and Lake Constance districts is incinerated. Since April 11, 2007 a total of three waste bins (K21 / 22/26) have been available for this. At the same time, two old garbage boilers (K27 / 28) from the 1960s were shut down. According to the original plans, the Münster power plant was to be completely shut down in the 1980s and a waste incineration plant was to be built at a new location. However, these plans were abandoned for cost reasons.

The amount burned annually is more than 420,000 t.

The energy obtained from waste incineration is fed to the busbar all year round and used to generate district heating and electricity.

The waste gases from waste incineration (AVA) are cleaned in three flue gas scrubbing systems (RWA). This was also built over Neckartalstrasse. These are three wet chemical and waste water-free cleaning lines with a downstream KAT.

Gas turbine power plant

The power plant also has three gas turbines , which are also used to generate electrical energy. EL heating oil (extra light heating oil) is used as fuel . The term gas turbine refers to the use of the exhaust gases from combustion in a turbine.

Water treatment plant

A central water treatment plant for cleaning contaminated water can also be found on the site of the power plant. In addition, Neckar water is treated there for use in the power plant (Neckar water pre-treatment and water treatment). The power plant has had a new, modern control room since 2005, from which the entire power plant is centrally controlled.

Mains connection

The grid connection takes place at the 110 kV high voltage level in the power grid of the distribution network operator Netze BW . All lines leading to the power plant are underground cables.

Others

Traffic connection

Until December 2000, the power station was connected to the railway network via the Münster – Cannstatt industrial line. Some of the coal was delivered through this until around 1995. Today, hard coal is delivered exclusively by ship.

Transmitter

In 2000, as part of the tender for additional transmission capacities for private broadcasters , the State Office for Communication selected the 180-meter-high chimney of the power plant as the new transmitter location. One reason for this was that it was not possible to coordinate four new frequencies at the existing, exposed transmitter locations in Stuttgart . Test operations began at the end of 2002, and since 2003/04 six regular radio programs have been broadcast from here, and Metropol FM since 2013.
