MODERNISATION OF A COGENERATION PLANT IN WUPPERTAL<br />
CLEAN<br />
AND EFFICIENT<br />
The modernisation of the cogeneration plant in Wuppertal was<br />
MAN <strong>Ferrostaal</strong>’s first turnkey power plant project at home.<br />
The recently opened new 60 MW Block 1 of the Barmen plant<br />
is based on the cogeneration principle, resulting in a very<br />
efficient and clean operation.<br />
With the modernised Block 1 of the Wuppertal cogeneration plant,<br />
the Wuppertaler Stadtwerke are able to supply the city and<br />
the surrounding area with electricity and district heating. The<br />
modernisation has benefits for the environment. The new plant<br />
not only operates more efficiently then the old one, it also<br />
reduces CO emissions by 200,000 tons per year and cuts nitrogen<br />
oxide and carbon monoxide emissions by 50 percent.<br />
In a modern gas and steam cogeneration plant like Barmen, gas<br />
turbines are used to generate electricity. The turbines’ hot<br />
exhaust gases are piped into individual waste heat boilers, where<br />
steam is generated. This steam drives a downstream steam<br />
turbine, in which electricity is generated and steam is also<br />
extracted to supply long-distance heating.<br />
As the general contractor, MAN <strong>Ferrostaal</strong> was responsible<br />
for turnkey planning, construction, procurement, delivery and<br />
commissioning of the gas and steam cogeneration plant.
