About the project
Heat, steam, and electricity from regional wood chips are replacing some of the natural gas used for heat generation in Basel. The HKW II generates energy for the district heating network, steam for surrounding industry, and for its own steam turbine, which produces electricity for 5,000 households.
Rey Technology's scope includes the control cabinets, the control system, and the electrical work (outsourced). Our control system combines fuel logistics, burner control, hydraulic control for district heating, and control of the steam cycle.
Advantages for the customer
- The control system combines fuel logistics, burners, district heating hydraulics, and steam cycle control.
- The plant achieves high availability thanks to a modern S7-400 control system with fail-safe CPU.
- The power plant reduces CO₂ emissions and contributes to the regional energy supply.
HKW II figures
- Electricity production 27 GWh/a
- Heat production 80 GWh/a
- CO2 savings: 19,000 t/a
