The power plant Rizziconi is with natural gas operation forming combined cycle in the Italian municipality of Rizziconi about 70 kilometers northeast of Reggio Calabria in Calabria . The plant owned by the Swiss energy group Axpo consists of two independent 380 MW blocks and is practically identical to the Sparanise power plant .
history
The project for the power plant was set up by EGL Italia, the subsidiary of the Swiss EGL AG founded in Genoa in 2000 . EGL had the goal to build four gas power plants in Italy , three of which were realized. The plants with a total capacity of 1.8 GW are located in Sparanise , Rizziconi and Ferrara . The Rizziconi power plant was built in 27 months and went online in July 2008. In 2020 it was owned by Axpo, which EGL had taken over.
technology
The power plant consists of two identical 380 MW blocks that can be operated independently of one another and have an overall efficiency of around 56%. The plant is supplied with natural gas by Snam and transfers the energy to the Terna substation, which is only 300 m away and which is connected to the 380 kV high-voltage network.
Each block is equipped with a 260 MW gas turbine , the exhaust gases of which are used in a waste heat steam generator with a horizontal flow to heat the closed water-steam circuit of a 120 MW steam turbine . The exhaust steam from the turbine is converted back into water in an air-cooled condenser . Each turbine is connected to the associated generator with its own shaft train . This multi-shaft configuration allows more flexible operation compared to systems in which the gas and steam turbines drive a single generator with a common shaft train.
