2 DONG Energy Power The Power business area generates and sells electricity and heat. The CHP plants in Denmark are its core activity. In 2010, thermal electricity generated by Power in Denmark accounted for 53% of total thermal electricity generation in Denmark. Heat generation accounted for 36% of total heat generation in Denmark, equivalent to the consumption of more than 800,000 households in Denmark. Electricity generation, thermal 15.3 TWh Heat generation 53.2 PJ

5 Biomass use in DONG Energy 1993 heat producers are imposed to increase use of biomass 1997 it becomes possible for biomass usage in former natural gas areas enabling growth of decentralised CHP 2000 Decision on building straw boiler and wood pellet fired CHP on Avedøre and refurbishment of Herning CHP Straw Wood pellets Wood chips DONG Energy units tons Herning Enstedværket Studstrupværket Måbjerg Grenå Avedøre Masnedø Maribo Sakskøbing Haslev Slagelse DONG Energy total

6 Biomass conversion in three steps Consumption of wood pellets, central plants wood pellets, mill tons Plant T T in total Plant T 1,45 mill tons in total Plant T 1,8 mill tons in total Step Step 2 Beginning 2015 Step 3 End 2015 In total the biomass conversion will bring DONG Energy's total consumption of biomass up to 2.7 mill t/year 6

7 Technical issues related to conversion of AVV1 and SSV3 Issues at AVV1 and SSV3 Boxer fired boilers, high specific firing chamber load high unburnt levels MPS roller mills Is milling capacity sufficient? Alternatives: hammer mills and disc mills Test of milling capacity at MPS mills and CFD calculations of unburnt needed Modify the MPS mill Double wall has to be built in The chute has to be extended to get closer to the grinding table Explosion suppression system has to be applied Erect wood pellets storage and conveying system to the MPS mill CFD calculations to determine the unburned level Build a fluid dynamic model of the boiler With input of wood size distribution from the mill test, calculate the unburnt boiler output 7

10 Experience from Avedøre plant AVV2 1/5 Plant data Tangential fired tower boiler 800 MW thermal Design parameters 300 bar/580 C 16 burners in 4 levels Wood pellets/gas/oil steam temperature 540 C Loesche coal mills for wood pellets milling HD SCR, Elektro precipitator and wet DeSOx 2001: Commissioning 2005: Coal ash dosing in burner level : Steam temp. increased from 540 to 560 C 10

11 Experience From Avedøreværket AVV2 2/ Woodpellets storage Automatic working storage Commissioned in

12 Experience from Avedøre plant AVV2 3/5 Handling of wood pellets on covered belt conveyors

13 Experience from Avedøre plant AVV2 4/5 Milling and burn-out Loesche mills used for wood pellets milling Milling table: operation > tons wood pellets High availability Most frequent stop due to contaminants in the pellets or worn-out dust pipes Milling 10 kwh/ton Burners Modified coal burner CO-level fluctuate but typical <100 mg/nm 3 Effective burn-out 1,4 % on energy basis eq. to carbon in fly ash at 6-7% DeNOx No significant degradation of the catalyst, due to dosing of coal fly ash 13

14 Experience from Avedøre plant AVV2 5/5 Coal ash dosing and electro precipitator operation When dosing fly ash the alkali metals (potassium) are fixed in the fly ash Chlorine and sulphur are released to the gas faze Forming of chlorine deposits is minimized; limits high temp. corrosion Forming of submicron alkali-particles is minimized; extends catalysts lifetime SO 2 emission (mg/nm 3, våd) SO2 NH3 HCl 70 Ingen kulaske : : : : : HCl & NH 3 emission (mg/nm 3, våd) 14
