The thermal power station Schwerin-South is one of the power supply Schwerin (EVS), a member company of the Stadtwerke Schwerin (SWS), powered cogeneration plant in Schwerin district Wüstmark in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It has a 180 meter high chimney, which is the second tallest structure in Schwerin after the transmitter mast in the Neu Zippendorf district .

technology

Today's combined heat and power plant is one of two natural gas-fired gas and steam combined cycle power plants that were built by December 1994 and operate using the cogeneration process and thus both provide heat for the Schwerin district heating network and produce electricity.

The main components of the thermal power station are two gas turbines with an output of 15.7 MW, two waste heat boilers (45 t / h) with additional firing, an extraction condenser turbine with an output of 22.8 MW and an air condenser (90 t / h). In normal operation, the thermal power station delivers an electrical output of 46.1 MW and a district heating output of 60 MW, in condensation operation it is 54.2 MW electrical output and 10.2 MW district heating output. For example, when the gas supply is interrupted, EL heating oil can optionally be used as fuel.

Both Schwerin thermal power stations are connected by a ten-kilometer long district heating pipe. In times of low heating load, the Schwerin-Lankow thermal power station continues to produce heat and electricity, while in Schwerin-Süd the main priority is to switch to condensation.

The grid connection is made via the Wüstmark substation at the 110 kV high voltage level in the power grid of the distribution network operator WEMAG Netz .

history

Schwerin-Süd industrial area and the chimney of the heating plant in the background (1987)

At the same location, an oil heating plant was built between 1973 and 1976 to provide district heating to 8,000 households in the Großer Dreesch residential area and 16 companies in the Schwerin-Süd industrial area. The 180 meter high chimney was completed in August 1974. Since oil consumption had to be reduced since the early 1980s due to economic problems, another heating plant in Wüstmark was equipped with a lignite- based steam generator . This was coupled with the Schwerin-Süd heating plant. When Schwerin was connected to the Salzwedel - Rostock natural gas route in 1982, the heating plant was converted to firing with local natural gas.

At the time of the turnaround around 1990, Schwerin's power supply came exclusively from national networks. With the renovation of the existing heating plant, it was decided to use combined heat and power. After the order was placed in December 1992, construction began in October 1993. In December 1994 the thermal power station was completed.
