The Münster Hafen combined cycle power plant is a gas and steam turbine power plant operated by Stadtwerke Münster . It is located directly on the basin of the city port I of the city of Münster . It generates electricity and heat as part of the cogeneration of heat and power .
power plant
In 2002, the Stadtwerke Münster and the city of Münster, as a partner in the Stadtwerke, took the fundamental decision to replace the coal-fired thermal power station built in 1977 with a modern combined cycle power station at the same location. On September 7, 2004 the foundation stone of the new power plant was laid. The boilers were assembled from November 2004, and the first gas turbine was delivered in March 2005. The new facility was finally opened on November 17, 2005. Stadtwerke invested around 95 million euros in the construction.
The power plant has two process lines, each consisting of a gas turbine and a waste heat boiler . The two gas turbines from the manufacturer Turbomach each have a gross output of 32 MW el . In the waste heat boilers, steam is generated from the hot exhaust gases, a smaller part of which is used for generating district heating, but the larger part is fed into the individual steam turbine. This turbine from the manufacturer MAN Turbo , designed as a back pressure turbine, generates another 38 MW el gross . Most of the district heating is then generated from the residual heat. The total gross output of the power plant is thus 102 MW el in electrical energy production and 120 MW th in heat generation. The fuel utilization rate of the power plant is 88% and thus well above the mark of 60%, which can be achieved by modern combined cycle power plants for the exclusive generation of electricity in condensation operation without heat extraction.
While the heat generation capacity has remained the same at around 600 GWh / a compared to the old coal-fired power plant, the gross electricity generation capacity has been increased from 160 GWh / a to 570 GWh / a. In doing so, it was even possible to slightly reduce carbon dioxide emissions, so that around 190,000 t of CO 2 were saved by lower generation at upstream suppliers . The power plant thus plays an important role in the City of Münster's “Climate Protection Concept 2020”. In this, the city committed itself to reducing its CO 2 emissions by 40% by 2020 compared to the base year 1990; this corresponds to around 1,000,000 t per year.
The power plant covers around 40% of the electricity and 20% of the heat requirements of the city of Münster.

District heating storage
With the shutdown of the coal-fired power station, the former coal bunker directly on the port's quay wall also became obsolete. In 2007 it was converted into a district heating storage facility . Especially at night, when less heat is used, 8000 m³ of hot district heating water can be stored in four tanks and fed back into the network in the morning. As a result, the power plant can be operated more evenly and thus more resource-efficiently. A complete filling of the tanks with 80 ° C to 120 ° C hot water can be carried out in five hours.
