description

First new building (1961–1966)

As one of "two major buildings that are significant for the city of Dresden", a new lignite-fired thermal power station was built next to the newly built Nossener Bridge , which was later given the name (Bridge of Youth) . The planning took place between 1960 and 1963, it was built between 1962 and 1964. The technical design was carried out by Gerhard Liebers' brigade , the basic project was worked out by the architect Christian Wiesenhütter together with the engineers Eberhard Renner, Günter Schmidt and Heinz Hahmann, the creation Heinz Stoll was in charge of the implementation project. The construction costs amounted to 35 million GDR marks .

A dominant compact building with a front length of 126 m and a height of 40 m was erected. The main structure was monolithic, the multi-storey building above was a reinforced concrete skeleton structure. An upstream structure with a control room was located at the western bridgehead. The machine house facade received precast concrete slats as rungs for putty-free glazing. A staff building was placed on top of the machine house, the facade of which was designed with concrete parapet panels. The clock on the south side was striking.

The architectural arrangement of a five-storey industrial substructure with a three-storey staff superstructure was seen as an “internationally interesting architectural solution for a power station”. The building was honored with a second prize in an architecture competition in 1966 as an example of successful industrial architecture: Above all, "its distinctive design and interesting functional solution." Was emphasized.

Today there is a gas turbine combined heat and power plant a little to the west of his place, the planning of which began around 1992. In 1996, the thermal power station, which could no longer be used, was demolished after the new plant went into operation. The cooling tower of the old power plant was preserved and is now used by the new power plant.

Second new building (1995)

The new building was built by Siemens AG in 1993–1995 with an electrical output of 270 megawatts and district heating output of 455 megawatts and has been operated by DREWAG ever since . As with the previous building, the building designs came from Christian Wiesenhütter's architectural office. Friedrich-Ernst von Garnier developed the design of the facade .

Three gas turbines are used to generate electricity, and their waste heat is used to heat steam for another steam turbine. This means that four identical generators are used. Natural gas and light heating oil are used as fuels. Together with the associated cooling tower, the system with its three chimneys is clearly visible in the Dresden cityscape. "Because of its attractive facade design [it is considered] a positive example of modern industrial construction".

The grid connection takes place at the 110 kV high voltage level in the grid of the distribution network operator Drewag Netz .

During the Elbe floods in August 2002 , the power plant had to temporarily cease operations due to flooding by the Weißeritz .

In August 2019, DREWAG Stadtwerke Dresden put an electrode boiler with a capacity of 40 megawatts into operation. According to DREWAG, it is (2019) the largest system of its kind in Germany. The boiler is to be operated with excess electricity from renewable sources ( power-to-heat ). Drewag has built its own building at the power plant site for the new electrode boiler. There the green electricity flows through the water via large electrodes and heats it to 130 degrees Celsius. The heat is then transferred to the district heating system via a buffer storage tank, which supplies Dresden's households and businesses.

Greenhouse gas emissions

View from Dresden

In the years 2005 to 2007 the thermal power station emitted between 697 and 796 kt of CO 2 per year . For the years 2008 to 2012, the power plant was allocated 880,150 emission allowances , i.e. just over 4.4 million emission allowances for the entire period. If the power plant emits a total of more than 4.4 million tons of CO 2 during this period , the operator must purchase additional emission allowances in the EU emissions trading system.
