Highly flexible CCGTs are able to operate in several different modes (open cycle, CCGT) and have the lowest minimum generation for CCGT in the Irish market. Such attributes are ideal for a system with high levels of wind where flexibility and fast response is required. The OCGTs provide required fast response units, as well as much needed capacity. The combination of fast, flexible and diverse thermal assets, jointly with battery storage potential, makes the Ballylumford portfolio attractive and ideally suited to the future market in Ireland. The potential to install storage at scale (30-100 MW) further enhances and diversifies the portfolio. Significant investment has been made in recent years, further enhancing Ballylumford’s competitive position within the Irish market.

Kraftwerk Mehrum

Kraftwerk Mehrum GmbH (KWM) operates a coal-fired power plant with a net installed capacity of 690 MW. Mehrum is located between the cities of Hannover and Braunschweig directly on the Mittelland Canal.

The electrical output is enough to supply 700,000 households or about 1 million people with electrical energy, which corresponds to a supply area of the Hannover region. The operating range of the power plant is between 150 MW and 690 MW of net capacity. Due to the very flexible design, the system can adapt the power production to the individual needs of the power grid and meet the increasingly fluctuating load requirements due to the renewable energies. The system is characterized by relatively high availability rates and high reliability for the shareholders and for the load dispatcher.

In 1979, the coal-fired power station with a net output of initially 654 MW was put into operation. In 2003, extensive efficiency-enhancing measures were implemented (retrofit measure at the turbine, heat recovery in the flue gas system, optimization of cooling tower installations), which led to an increase in net output of 36 MW to 690 MW today and an increase in efficiency to around 40 %. Thanks to these measures, around 80,000 tons of hard coal and around 180,000 tons of CO2 are saved each year in the environmental balance with comparable output. Currently, around 120 employees ensure safe operation of the power plant.

Lynemouth Power

Lynemouth Power Station (or “LPL”) is at the forefront of the UK’s energy market as one of the most ambitious renewable energy investment projects in the UK that has been undertaken over recent years. The plant has undergone a major conversion programme that has seen the former coal-fired power station convert to full biomass electricity generation. The conversion project meant a significant collaboration amongst LPL employees, contractor partners, Government agencies and EPH. Now fully handed over to LPL, the plant has 395 MW of net installed powering approximately 450,000 homes.

Lynemouth Power Station uses sustainably-sourced, renewable wood pellets, primarily from the USA and Canada, which are transported to the UK by sea. Carbon emissions arising from transportation are included in the calculation made by LPL to report against current sustainability criteria under the CfD.

It is one of the largest sites of its kind in Europe and has, since converting to biomass, reduced nitrous oxide emissions by two-thirds and more than halved dust emissions. Sulphurous oxide emissions have also been reduced by more than 95% to minimal compared to previous coal generation.

Process safety is a crucial part of everyday operations to protect all personnel and those visiting the site. Lynemouth Power Station’s exceptional safety record is testament to the robust systems and procedures in place, in particular those implemented during the plant’s conversion to biomass. LPL complies with and adheres to strict industry legislation, as well as health and safety codes, to ensure the highest operational standards at all times.

EPPM also provides a broad range of waste management services. As a by-product of combustion in hard coal power plants, fly ash serves as a highly ecological and cost-effective substitute for clinker in cement production. Fly ash significantly reduces the CO2 footprint as well as input costs and improves cement quality for the construction industry. As coal-fired power generation will continue to be around for some time as a bridging technology in most countries of Europe, processing fly ash contributes significantly to reducing the environmental impact, which pays into the overall sustainability strategy of EPPE.
