Bangkok--29 Jan--Siemens
On the 22 of January 2016 the unit "Fortuna" of the combined cycle power plant at the location Lausward at the Düsseldorf harbor was committed successfully to the utility company Stadtwerke Düsseldorf. The key component of the plant is the efficient SGT5-8000H gas turbine from Siemens.
Siemens sets three new world records at the unit "Fortuna" in the combined cycle power plant. The installed Siemens power plant technology reaches efficiency for net power generation of around 61.5 percent, achieves a peak electrical output of 603.8 megawatts (MW) and can supply around 300 MW of heat for district heating.
With the cogeneration of district heat, fuel utilization for the "Fortuna" is boosted up to 85 percent, while the specific CO2 emissions are reduced to a mere 230 grams per kilowatt-hour. Because of the plant's close proximity to the downtown area of the city, special importance was attached to minimum emissions, optical integration into the cityscape, and lowest achievable noise levels.
