The Sparanise power plant is a gas and steam combined cycle power plant in the Italian municipality of Sparanise near Caserta in Campania . The natural gas -fired plant consists of two independent 380 MW blocks and is majority owned by the Swiss energy group Axpo .
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 Sparanise power plant was commissioned in 2007. In 2020 it was 85% owned by Axpo, which had taken over EGL, and 15% owned by the Italian utility company Hera .
technology
The power plant consists of two identical blocks with 380 MW each , which 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 380 kV high-voltage line that leads from Santa Maria Capua Vetere to the Garigliano nuclear power plant .
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 up 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.
