07 June 2011
The Chelyabinsk HPP-3 3rd power unit (OJSC Fortum) was formally put in operation on the 7th of June, 2011. CJSC Intertechelectro was a general contractor in the unit construction.
The start-up flourish involved Mikhail Yurevich, Chelyabinsk region Governor, and Evgeny Kuivashev, deputy Plenipotentiary of the President in UFD, who were given the honorary right to launch the unit. The ceremony also was visited by top management of OJSC Fortum, power plant owner, being one of the leading heat and electric power producers and suppliers in Urals and Western Siberia, Intertechelectro managers and invited guests.
The Intertechelectro-New Generation group of companies has been working on the facility from the very beginning of the power unit construction investment project implementation. The Engineering and Design Center of New Generation specialists have performed complete designing of the plant, Intertechelectro fulfilled construction and installation works, Intertechelectro-Turbomontazh installed the main equipment while Service-New Generation commissioned the unit and equipped it with up-to-date automation devices.
Chelyabinsk HPP-3 3rd power unit is the first one in the South Urals based on combined cycle.. The unit putting in operation will improve the HPP economic performance on fuel consumption and decrease its impact on the environment. The 3rd unit will allow increasing the HPP-3 installed capacity by 220 MW and will amount to 590 MW while heat output will get higher by 146 Gcal/h and will reach 1214 Gcal/h. The power unit equipment comprises the 160 MW GTE-160 gas turbine produced by OJSC "Leningrad metal plant", 60 MW steam cogeneration turbine by “Kaluga turbine plant” and HRSG manufactured by OJSC “ZiO-Podolsk”.
As Vladimir Babyak, CJSC Intertechelectro General director, says this project implementation was a new step for the contractor in construction of heavy duty combined cycle units as well as a large experience of dealing with main equipment of Russian manufacturers. “Having built the Chelyabinsk HPP-3 220 MW unit, we are now ready to construct larger units such as 450 MW CCGT PP”- says Vladimir Babyak.
Putting the CHPP 3rd unit into operation will increase reliability of power supply of the housing community consumers and industrial plants of the city of Chelyabinsk and its region, ensure heat load of new plants and consumers and improve environmental situation in the city. Its electric output will be 225 MW, thermal one- 122 Gcal/h.
