Csepel II
Alpiq acquired the Csepel Power Station complex in 2002. The Csepel II facility is a modern combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station with electrical capacity of 403 MW. Constructed in 2000, this power station is the most efficient of the large CCGT installations in Hungary. It started commercial operations in November 2000 and has been one of the most reliable and flexible contributors to the Hungarian power system.
At Csepel II, power generation focuses on customer requirements. The power station is engineered to be flexible, which means that we can meet a diverse set of requirements. Our clients benefit from this flexibility and the diverse product range of an outstanding and reliable power station. The main technical features and capabilities of the plant are:
- Gas turbines
- Heat recovery steam generator
- Steam turbine
- Condenser with water cooling
- District heating system
- Generators and transformers
- Auxiliary plant
- Emergency backup
- Electricity generation
Over the last 10 years we have implemented a number of steps to improve the reliability and efficiency of our power stations and to improve our processes. Examples of our improvements are: a new on-site capacity monitoring system, an air-cooling system, new highly efficient gas turbine blades, and an optimised organisational structure.
