Nordjylland Power Station
Encyclopedia
Nordjylland Power Station is a coal-fired power plant east of Aalborg
, Denmark
. It is operated by Vattenfall
. The power plant consists of 3 units and a gas turbine. From these units, one is shut-down. The gas turbine has a power of 25 MW and went in service in 1977, while unit 2, which went also in 1977 has a maximum production capacity of electricity of 305 MW and of 42 MJ/s. Unit 3, which went in service in 1992 has a maximum production capacity of 411 MW and a maximum heat production capacity of 420 MJ/s. It uses a 170.1 metres (558.1 ft) tall chimney, while Unit 1, 2 and the gas turbine uses 112.17 metres (368 ft) tall chimneys. Unit 3 was the first power plant in Denmark with a SNOX-system for exhaust cleaning.
While two powerlines leave the station eastward to the famous Vester Hassing Static Inverter Plant, where HVDC Konti-Skan
starts, two other 380 kV lines cross Limfjord just east the power plant in two spans. The towers of the westermost of these spans are 101.2 metres (332 ft) tall and cross Limfjord in a 723 metres (2,372 ft) long span, while that of the eastermost span are 141.7 metres (464.9 ft) tall and cross Limfjord in a 797 metres (2,614.8 ft) long span. Latter towers are the tallest electricity pylons in Denmark. Their much considerable height results from the fact, that they are equipped with a further crossbar for a 110 kV circuit.
Aalborg
-Transport:On the north side of the Limfjord is Nørresundby, which is connected to Aalborg by a road bridge Limfjordsbroen, an iron railway bridge Jernbanebroen over Limfjorden, as well as a motorway tunnel running under the Limfjord Limfjordstunnelen....
