我背包 and II gas-fired power plants

我背包 is the first of two gas power plants built by 十大最好的网赌平台 in 德国 and was commissioned in autumn 2007. In 2013 背包二世 started operating after only two years of construction.

我背包

Two gas turbines and one steam turbine provide a combined installed capacity of about 800 MW.

背包二世

One gas turbine and one steam turbine provide an installed capacity of 430 MW. The plant could power the equivalent of 500,000 households.

Both 我背包 and 背包二世 have an energy efficiency of approximately 60 per cent.

Gas-fired power plants are one of the few types of power plants capable of peak load, which means that they can be upgraded to peak performance in just a few minutes if necessary. If the weather conditions are not favourable and a potential shortage is expected, there is a need to rely on such flexible solutions instead of coal-fired or nuclear power plants. During the transition to 100% renewable energy, gas power can therefore balance renewable energy when and where hydropower or network interconnectors are not available.
