Turbo-charged motor-generator units for electricity generation from waste gas

Description: Das Projekt "Turbo-charged motor-generator units for electricity generation from waste gas" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Energie-Versorgung Schwaben AG durchgeführt. Objective: To prove the economic viability of using landfill gas for generating electricity by means of a newly developed 240 KW output turbo-charged engine, turbocharged engines, their size suited to the offered amounts of gas. General Information: The gas arising in the landfill sites located in Wangen-Obermooweiler , Maulbronn-Zaisersweiher and Eberstadt (Heilbronn) is being used for the generation of electricity. The project will provide experience of life time and possible kinds of operation of the used engines with the special view to the influence of the quality of the used gas. In this point an interesting aspect is the operation mode as function of methan content and concentration of pollutants. An additional factor are measures taken to conform to the limit values for exhaust gas prescribed in the 'Technical Instructions, Air' (Technische Anleitung zur Reinhaltung der Luft or TA Luft). This entered force in the Federal Republic of Germany on February, 26th 1986 and prescribes the following limits for nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases of plants with combustion engines with a firing heat output greater than 1 MW (300 KWel for unit-type power plants): NOx smaller than500 mg/Nm3 CO smaller than650 mg/Nm3 Achievements: Wangen-Obermooweiler: the output of the installed unit-type power plant is about 265 kW. The plant was set in operation in December 1986. After difficulties in the testing phase the plant is now operating without remarkable problems. The average availability of the plant is more than 85 per cent. Maulbronn-Zaisersweiher: the output of the installed unit-type power plant is 212 kW. The plant was set in operation in may 1987. Due to the little number of working hours and that there are still problems with the gas delivering system it is not possible to give detailed information of this plant. Eberstadt: the output of the installed unit-type power plant is 430 kW. The plant was set in operation in November 1986. The average availability is more than 85 per cent. It is planned to install another plant for the delivering amount of gas is sufficient for more than one plant.
