The gas turbine power plant Darmstadt of Entega is located in Darmstadt district north and the cover is of peak load .

history

Construction of the power plant began in June 2010. The shell was completed at the end of 2010, and the topping-out ceremony was held in early December 2012. The assembly of the machines began in April 2011. Generators and turbines were delivered in June 2011. The first ignition of the power plant was planned for December 2011 and commercial commissioning for March 2012. The actual commercial commissioning was finally on July 9, 2013. 55 million euros were invested in the power plant.

As early as August 2013, Entega threatened to shut down the power plant due to inefficiency from 2014, unless a solution for continued economic operation was found together with the Federal Network Agency and the responsible transmission system operator - in whose control area the power plant is located. The reason for this is that the prices for emissions certificates in European emissions trading are much lower than expected. In November 2013, the Federal Network Agency classified the Darmstadt gas turbine power plant as systemically relevant for 24 months in accordance with Section 13 (1) sentence 6 EnWG ( Energy Industry Act ). In 2013 the power plant had just ten hours of operation. Since then it has only been in operation for another five hours (as of March 2015). This made an unscheduled depreciation in the amount of 26.5 million euros necessary.

In April 2015, the operating company Entega AG (then HSE AG ) announced that it would shut down the power plant on May 1, 2016. Due to the systemic importance of the power plant, the shutdown was initially banned by the transmission system operator Amprion for two years. The gas turbine was only in operation for around 20 hours in 2015 (as of April 2015). The decommissioning was last decided again in March 2019, this time on May 1, 2020. The power plant continues to be classified as systemically relevant.

technology

The power plant has two gas turbines of the type GE LM6000PF Sprint with a gross capacity of 47.3  megawatts (MW) and a gross efficiency of 41% (in each case standard conditions with a temperature of 15 ° C and an air pressure of 1013 mbar). The gas turbines manufactured by Tognum under license from General Electric . The gas turbines each have 75 swirl burners and are fired exclusively with natural gas . In addition to the turbines, Tognum also supplied gearboxes, generators, air supply systems and control and regulation technology.

The connection to the power grid takes place at the 110 kilovolt high voltage level in the grid of E-Netz Südhessen (formerly distribution network operator (VNB) Rhein-Main-Neckar GmbH & Co. KG ).

The power station building rests on a pile foundation (127 piles, each with a diameter of 900 mm and a length of up to 20 m). The switch house has dimensions of 25.4 m × 25.6 m × 15.9 m and the machine house 16.2 m × 27.8 m × 13.1 m (length × width × height). The machine foundations have dimensions of about 18 m × 5 m × 4 m and have a mass of 800 tons each. A total of over 1,000 tons of steel and around 12,000 tons of concrete were used.
