The Hausham power plant is a former coal-fired and now a gas turbine power plant in the Upper Bavarian municipality of Hausham in the Miesbach district . Today it is only operated as a reserve power plant and serves to cover peak loads . The owner and operator is Peissenberger Kraftwerks Gesellschaft mbH (PKG) , which is a joint subsidiary of Bayernwerk AG and Lechwerke .
Structure and history
coal-fired power station
In 1960, a coal-fired power station was built in Hausham, which was operated by Bayerische Berg-, Hütten- und Salzwerke AG . The power plant generated electricity from pitch coal from the Upper Bavarian Revier , in particular from the Hausham and Peißenberg mines .
After the end of coal production and the closure of the mines in the late 1960s, the power plant experienced a radical change: On October 1, 1970, the Peissenberger Kraftwerk Gesellschaft was founded and bought the power plant. In 1971 the power plant was converted to heavy oil firing and was finally shut down in 1982. At its peak in 1972, 50 people worked in the power plant.
Gas turbine power plant
In 1984 four gas turbines were put into operation, the generators of which have an electrical output of 25 megawatts each. The turbines are operated with light heating oil . Since it is an emergency power plant, there are only about 100 operating hours per year (for comparison: a year has 8760 hours). Compared to other types of power plant such as coal-fired power plants, the system can be put into operation particularly quickly: it takes about six to ten minutes from start to full load . Five employees work at the site to ensure the readiness of the power plant. The power station is connected to the electricity grid of E.ON Netz GmbH via the Hausham substation on the 110 kV high voltage level.
In addition to the Hausham gas turbine power plant, PKG operates two motor-driven thermal power stations in Peissenberg and ten mobile emergency power generators.
Incidents
- In January 2009, a turbine failure with gearbox failure in one of the four gas turbines led to the leakage of 4,000 liters of oil. Since the oil was only distributed in the turbine room of the power plant, the environment was not affected.
Greenhouse gas emissions
| year | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CO 2 emissions in t / a | 1,848 | 2,222 | 3,970 | 2,538 | 753 |
Historical carbon dioxide emissions (CO 2 ) are shown in the table opposite. For the years 2008 to 2012, the power plant was allocated 675 emission allowances , i.e. 3,375 emission allowances for the entire period. If the power plant emits a total of more than 3,375 t of CO 2 during this period , the operator must purchase additional emission allowances in EU emissions trading.
