Name of the Project
Nikola Tesla A power plant.
Location
Serbia.
Client
Electric Power Industry of Serbia.
Project Description
The Nikola Tesla A power plant will be Serbia’s largest power plant.
The plant will comprise six units, with a total generating capacity of 1 720 MW, and will include two sets of one of the world’s largest flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) systems.
The power plant will use lignite coal as a fuel, which has higher levels of sulphur and a lower caloric value, compared with other types of coal.
The installation of FGD systems will reduce emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and particulates. SO2 emissions will be cut by 97%, enabling a SO2 level lower than the 200 mg/Nm³ prescribed by the European Industrial Emissions Directive (IED).
The FGD systems, which will have a capacity of 650 MW, will be each installed in units 3 to 6, which have a total output of 1 300 MW.
