The Rutenberg power plant is a coal-fired power plant in Israel , which is located on the Mediterranean coast near the city of Ashkelon in the South District. It also supplies the nearby Gaza Strip . The power plant is named after Pinchas Ruthenberg , a pioneer in the electricity industry in Israel.
Data
With an installed capacity of 2,250 MW , it is the most powerful power plant in Israel after the Orot Rabin power plant and serves to cover the base load . It is owned and operated by the state-owned Israel Electric Corporation (IEC).
Together with Orot Rabin, the Rutenberg power plant forms the backbone of the electricity supply in Israel. The installed capacity of Rutenberg 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 16,027 GWh in 2006 and 17,652 GWh in 2007. Accordingly, the consumption of hard coal fluctuates between 5.583 million t in 2006 and 6.289 million t in 2007. On average, the power plant generates between approx. 15,000 and 17,000 tons of coal burned.
Power plant units
The power plant consists of a total of four units with different capacities that went into operation in 1991 and 2001 respectively. The following table gives an overview:
| block | Max. Power (MW) | Start of operation | turbine | generator | Steam boiler |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 575 | 1991/11 | MAN | Combustion engineering | |
| 2 | 575 | 1991/11 | MAN | Combustion engineering | |
| 3 | 550 | 2001/02 | Alstom Power | Alstom Power | Babcock & Wilcox |
| 4th | 550 | 2001/02 | Alstom Power | Alstom Power | Babcock & Wilcox |
Others
The coal is delivered by ship. The power plant therefore has its own pier .
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.
Due to the proximity of Ashkelon to the Gaza Strip , the Rutenberg power plant in particular was a main target of rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip in the past, although it supplied a large part of the electricity for the Gaza Strip.
