The Amager power plant ( Amagerværket in Danish ) is a fossil and biogenic heating power plant on the island of Amager in the Danish capital, Copenhagen . The owner is the Danish company HOFOR. In addition to generating electricity, the power plant is used to supply Copenhagen with district heating .
technology
Construction of the power plant began in the 1960s. The power plant also supplied district heating from the start. The power plant is fired with coal and biomass, and oil is also burned to start up the power plant. As part of the so-called Copenhagen Plan , which aims to achieve a CO 2 -neutral heat supply for the city of Copenhagen by 2025 , the power plant is to be completely converted to biomass firing. In 2012 the power plant produced 1,260 GWh of electrical energy and 2,160 GWh of thermal energy for the district heating supply. For this purpose, 9,951 TJ coal, 5,332 TJ wood and the like, 622 TJ straw and 420 TJ oil were burned in the power plant in the same year.

Block 1
The first block of the power plant went into operation in 1971 and was initially fired with coal . As part of the Copenhagen plan, Block 1 was shut down in 2004 and subjected to a comprehensive retrofit . In the course of these modernization measures, a new turbine system and a new steam boiler , which can be fired with coal, mineral oil and biomass , as well as new systems for flue gas cleaning were installed. The new steam turbine is a back pressure turbine and was built by Doosan Škoda Power . The new boiler is a Benson boiler with twelve burners , manufactured by Burmeister & Wain Energy. The renovation was originally supposed to be completed in 2008, but has been delayed.
Since the re-commissioning in May 2010, Unit 1 has a net electrical output of 69 MW and a district heating output of 251 MW. To operate this power plant block, 50 t of coal, 30 t of oil or 75 t of straw pellets are burned every hour at full load . This generates steam at a pressure of 185 bar and a temperature of 562 ° C, which drives the steam turbine.
Block 2
The second unit of the power plant went into operation in 1972, but has since been shut down. To generate the steam with a pressure between 90 bar and 110 bar and a temperature, 30 tons of oil or 60 tons of straw pellets were required at full load.
Block 3
The third unit of the power plant with a net electrical output of 250 MW and a district heating output of 332 MW was put into operation in 1989. To operate this power plant unit, 88 t of coal or 53 t of oil are burned every hour at full load. The generated steam with a pressure of 250 bar and a temperature of 545 ° C drives the turbine.
In 2012 it was decided to convert Block 3 - as already done in Block 1 - to biomass firing by 2016 [obsolete] .
Block 4
Currently (end of 2015) a purely biomass-fired plant with 500 MW thermal output is planned under the project name "BIO4". Completion is planned for 2020.
Network connection
As part of the Copenhagen plan , a 4 km long tunnel with a diameter of 4 m was built into the center of Copenhagen, in which the district heating pipes that transport the heat generated in the power plant to the users.
So far, Amagerværket has been connected to the 132 kV network via high-voltage cables . In addition, the Danish transmission system operator Energinet.dk is planning a 400 kV cable connection from the HCØrsted power plant ( HCØrstedsværket ) to the Amager power plant. From there, the connection (in cooperation with the Swedish electricity network operator Svenska kraftnät ) is to be routed as a submarine cable through the Öresund to the network node at the decommissioned Swedish nuclear power plant Barsebäck ( Barsebäcks kärnkraftverk ).
Change of ownership
Amagerværket was originally built and operated by Copenhagen Energy . In 2000, all generating facilities were sold to the company ENERGI E2 , which had the contract to operate all power plants and combined heat and power plants on Zealand . In 2006, Amagerværket was sold to Vattenfall together with the Nordjylland power plant , the Fyn power plant , two combined heat and power plants in Hillerød and Helsingør , and most of the Elsam company's onshore and offshore wind turbines .
At the beginning of 2012, Vattenfall had assured that it wanted to keep all of the power plants in Denmark. In July 2013, Vattenfall announced that it would sell the power plant to the public utility company HOFOR. The purchase price quoted was 2 billion Danish kroner (DKK) (equivalent to 268 million euros), with 415 million DKK relating to the value of the power station itself and the remainder from liabilities associated with the power station. The power plant has been owned by HOFOR since January 1st, 2014.
Others
In the run-up to the UN climate conference in Copenhagen in September 2009, demonstrators (according to police figures 1500) tried to occupy the power plant in order to underline their demands for more ambitious climate protection measures . The protesters planned to shut down the power plant by chaining themselves to the conveyor belts, but were stopped by the police.
