The Orot Rabin power plant is a coal-fired power plant in Israel , which is located on the Mediterranean coast near the city of Hadera in the Haifa district. Caesarea Maritima is a little north of the power plant .
Data
With an installed capacity of 2,590 MW , Orot Rabin is the most powerful power plant in Israel and serves to cover the base load . It is owned and operated by the state-owned Israel Electric Corporation (IEC). According to Structurae , the power plant was built from 1973 to 1981.
The installed capacity of Orot Rabin represents almost 20% of the total generation capacity of IEC amounting to 13,483 MW (as of December 2013).
Annual production fluctuates slightly. She was z. B. at 18,854 GWh in 2001 and 19,709 GWh in 2006. Accordingly, the consumption of hard coal fluctuates between 6.684 million tons in 2001 and 7.082 million tons in 2006. On average, 18,000 tons of coal are burned in the power plant per day and 320,000 m 3 of seawater are required for cooling.
Power plant units
The power plant consists of a total of six units with different capacities that went into operation in 1984 and 1996 respectively. The following table gives an overview:
| block | Max. Power (MW) | Start of operation | turbine | generator | Steam boiler |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 360 | 04.1984 | GE | Westinghouse / GE | Babcock & Wilcox |
| 2 | 360 | 04.1984 | GE | Westinghouse / GE | Babcock & Wilcox |
| 3 | 360 | 04.1984 | GE | Westinghouse / GE | Babcock & Wilcox |
| 4th | 360 | 04.1984 | GE | Westinghouse / GE | Babcock & Wilcox |
| 5 | 575 | 07.1996 | MAN | MAN | Combustion engineering |
| 6th | 575 | 07.1996 | MAN | MAN | Combustion engineering |
It is intended to convert four units to natural gas.
Others
The coal is delivered by ship. The power plant therefore has its own pier .
The fly ash produced during incineration meets the requirements as an aggregate for cement, while normal ash can be used as a recycling building material in road construction. The ashes are examined for the trace elements they contain; this also includes lead and mercury in small quantities.
Since the cooling is carried out using seawater, problems can sometimes arise, including shutdown, if the cooling water lines clog. Jellyfish are z. B. a problem and must therefore be filtered out. But despite the filter, they are sometimes sucked into the cooling system, where they dissolve into a gel and then block the condenser .
