Wien Energie, RheinEnergie, Siemens Energy and VERBUND are testing the admixture of hydrogen in a gas turbine in the Donaustadt power plant for the first time – first test days successful, the Wien Energie announced.
The operational test has been running since mid-July, and the project partners can already report the first interim successes: The proportion of hydrogen in gas turbine operation has already been increased to 15 percent by volume on individual test days.
Further tests will be carried out in the coming weeks in order to collect more data on the operating behavior of the plant. The project partners will evaluate the data in detail by spring 2024. In a follow-up project, there are plans to increase the proportion of hydrogen to around 30 percent by volume. The project partners are investing around 10 million euros in the operational test, and the climate and energy fund is supporting the project with around 2.6 million euros.
