Energy solutions ENERGOCOMPLEX "VECKROĢEĻI", BIOMASS CHP STATION Broceni , Latvia
The creation of the biomass cogeneration plant has enabled us to produce thermal and electrical energy from local renewable resources, using wood biomass for fuel (woodchips, sawdust and tree bark). The plant is equipped with a high-pressure steam boiler and a steam turbine with a synchronous generator. The boiler with automated fuel supply and a walking beam furnace ensure efficient burning of the fuel. Whereas, the steam energy produced by the boiler is transformed into electrical energy in the multi-stage steam turbine and synchronous generator unit.
- Electrical Output of 3.98 MW and Heat Output of 15.9 MW
Veckroģeļi energy complex is the largest and most powerful biomass cogeneration plant in Kurzeme producing 3.98 MW of electrical output and 15.9 MW of heat output per hour.
The electricity produced by the cogeneration plant is fed into the grid of AS Sadales tīkls, while the produced heat is used for the production processes of the nearby pellet factory, which can rely on the produced heat throughout the year.
