The plant has an installed capacity of approximately 1,000 MW, and consists of a 155 MW turbogas (Group 4) in a combined cycle with a 75 MW steam turbine (Group 1) and two 250 MW turbogas (Group 5). and Group 6) in a combined cycle with a steam turbine (Group 2) with which 260 MW are produced. The power plant, since its construction (dating back to 1961 with the 75 MW steam Group 1), is home to state-of-the-art and constantly evolving plants; in 1984 the first upgrading project was inaugurated (320 MW steam Group 2) and the architectural restyling by Arch. Mario Bellini. Since 1992, a series of interventions have improved the overall picture of emissions; initially with interventions on steam generators (gas reburning and electrostatic precipitators) and subsequently with the adoption of combined cycle technology. In June 2001, the 155 MW turbogas combined cycle with the 75 MW steam turbine of Group 1 was put into operation, which replaced the steam generator as required by the environmental adaptation and upgrading program approved by Ministry of Industry. The use of natural gas alone for its operation led, already since then, to a reduction in polluting emissions and substantial energy savings, thanks to the reduction of fuel used for the same amount of energy produced. In October 2003, the gas turbine, called Group 5, was inaugurated in a combined cycle with the pre-existing steam turbine of Group 2, replacing the 320 MW of the conventional steam group with 380 MW of high efficiency and low emissions power. The commissioning of the Group 5 turbogas has definitively eliminated the use of heavy fuel oil in favor of natural gas. The Group 6 turbogas, twin of Group 5, is also in operation today, in a combined cycle with the same steam turbine, which adds a further 380 MW to the previous ones installed, thus bringing the overall power of the plant to approximately 1,000 MW. With the installation of the new gas turbine, a further environmental improvement was made; in fact, thanks to an agreement with the General Electric manufacturer, the new burners with very low NOx emission "Dry Low NOx 2.6+" technology were installed for the first time on a class 9FA gas turbine, capable of complying with the limit of 30 mg / Nm 3 of nitrogen oxides. After the experimental exercise, conducted at the Cassano d'Adda power plant, this new combustion system has become an industrial reality and was installed in 2007 also on Group 5, thus creating a highly efficient 760 MW combined cycle. with very low NOx emissions. A further step towards an important environmental protection and a great objective of production efficiency, which, together, place the plant in a position of excellence among European plants. to know more link wmv The video on the operation of the control unit (27 Mb) Environmental declarations Certifications A2A Group Quality, Environment and Safety Policy Emissions data Updated on Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:13 SOCIETY Company Profile Our offices Brand and identity Group PLANTS AND NETWORKS Brescia waste to energy plant The Cassano d'Adda thermoelectric plant Oven socket turbidimeter INVESTORS Presentations and Conferences Actions Financial statements and reports GOVERNANCE Assemblies Supervisory board Management Board COMMUNICATION Schools Territory Events SUSTAINABILITY Quality, Environment and Safety Biodiversity Research and Innovation - PI 11957540153 - Credits - Privacy - Contacts
