Surplus Heat for Use in a Snowmelt System

摘要

Siemens is supplying two gas turbines and one steam turbine for the Holland Energy Park combined cycle power plant in Holland, Michigan/ USA. The plant will generate approximately 125 MW in summer and 145 MW in winter. The local municipal utility, Holland Board of Public Works, is replacing a coal-fired plant with a new fuel efficient modern power plant. With the new Siemens technology the CO_2 emissions at the site will be reduced by approximately 50%. A special feature of this plant is the use of surplus heat from the circulating water system for use in expanding a downtown snowmelt system. Commercial operation of the plant is scheduled for fall 2016.
