The Federico II power plant (formerly Brindisi Sud power plant in Italian Centrale Termoelettrica di Brindisi Sud ) is a coal-fired power plant in the province of Brindisi , Italy , which is located on the Strait of Otranto about 12 km south of the city of Brindisi .
The power plant was renamed after Friedrich II in 2002 . It is owned and operated by Enel Produzione SpA (EP), a subsidiary of Enel , and is also operated by EP.
Data
With an installed capacity of 2,640 MW , Federico II is the most powerful coal-fired power plant in Italy (as of July 2016). It serves to cover the base load . The annual production in 2012 was 12.97 billion kWh . The power plant requires around 5 million tons of coal per year.
Power plant units
The power plant consists of a total of four units that went into operation from 1991 to 1993. The following table gives an overview:
| block | Max. Power (MW) | Start of operation | turbine | generator | Steam boiler |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 660 | 1991 | Ansaldo | Tosi | Ansaldo |
| 2 | 660 | 1992 | Ansaldo | Tosi | Ansaldo |
| 3 | 660 | 1992 | Ansaldo | Tosi | Ansaldo |
| 4th | 660 | 1993 | Ansaldo | Tosi | Ansaldo |
The 4 power plant blocks have a common chimney (height 200 m, diameter 28 m).
Others
In 2007, WWF was the 25th of the 30 largest CO 2 emitters in Europe with 14.4 million tonnes . In 2010 a test facility for CO 2 capture and storage went into operation. In order to reduce the environmental impact of coal dust, two geodesic domes (height 49 m, diameter 144 m) were built in 2013.
