GE Power Distributed Power Flexible power solutions with the Jenbacher J920 FleXtra gas engine The J920 FleXtra gas engine from GE allows the city of Rosenheim to generate flexible distributed power & heat by operating in a highly efficient combined heat and power application mode. “With the accelerating growth of renewable installations, more flexible power is essential. Its quick startup capability makes GE’s J920 FleXtra gas engine the ideal solution to complement intermittently available wind and solar energy sources.” Dr. Gotz Briihl, CEO of the Stadtwerke Rosenheim, Germany One of GE's ecomagination-qualified J920 FleXtra large gas engines was installed at the Stadtwerke Rosenheim, where it works with a waste incineration plant and four additional GE gas engines to create a combined heat and power (CHP) plant. Offering low environmental impact, the plant generates about 40 percent of the electricity and 20 percent of the heat required by the city of Rosenheim. Since the CHP plant stores heat, it greatly increases the daily operating hours for the gas engines and makes them an ideal complement to intermittently available wind and solar energy supplies. By innovatively providing highly efficient, low-emissions power and heat to the city of Rosenheim, this project is a role model for Germany’s energy turnaround efforts. By 2025, Rosenheim will be able to obtain all of its energy without any additional greenhouse gas emissions. Stadtwerke Rosenheim: a pioneer in distributed power generation Stadtwerke Rosenheim supplies water, electricity, gas, process steam and district heating for residential and local industrial customers. Using CHP gas engine technology is a critical piece of the company’s energy concept. Given the fast-growing presence of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, it is essential to create a more flexible energy supply infrastructure such as gas engine-based distributed CHP plants.

GE Power Distributed Power Key project benefits • Supports Germany’s climate goals: The project will help increase power generation from CHP plants to 25 percent of the country’s total power supply by 2020 while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent. • Contributes to local energy turnaround: Innovative energy production from municipal utilities can reduce the C02 emissions of conventional power plants. The saved C02 emissions are equal to the remaining C02 output of the city of Rosenheim. • Supports Germany’s energy efficiency initiatives: By ensuring excellent electrical efficiency...
