Novocherkasskaya GRES is located 53 km from Rostov-on-Don. Consumers of its electricity are mainly located in the south-east of the region and in the North Caucasus.
Novocherkasskaya GRES was designed for a capacity of 2400 MW, with eight power units of 300 MW each. Heating power - 75 Gcal/hour. The design ideas were different: 3x100 MW, 4x150, 4x200 (and stopped at 6x300 MW). Later it was decided to build two more units (300 MW each). Design fuel - coal or gas, reserve fuel - fuel oil. Nowadays, Novocherkassk State District Power Plant is the only one operating on the waste of coal mining and coal preparation (the so-called anthracite sludge (dust, sludge)).
Construction began in 1956. And already in the summer of 1965, the first power unit was fully commissioned. The pace of the next 7 years of construction is 1 block per year. In the winter of 1972-1973, construction was completed. By 2000, the gas pipeline was completed and two power units were switched to gas, the rest continued to burn fuel oil and coal dust. In 2007, the construction of the ninth unit began. The block of completely Russian production will havecirculating fluidized bed technology is used. This technology is optimal in accordance with the requirements of environmental protection and European standards for emissions. The start-up of this power unit is scheduled for December 2014. The Donskoy settlement for power engineers was built three kilometers from the station. Today, the station has abandoned the village, leaving its inhabitants to fend for themselves.
Novocherkasskaya GRES is constantly being upgraded. In 2011, we completed the reconstruction of the Don water treatment plants. The new system will use membrane cleaning technology. Prior to this, water for boilers was purified mechanically, i.e. filtered, later chemical purification was introduced, and now you can refuse it (and reagents too). This will significantly reduce the technogenic load on nature and the population of the city of Novocherkassk and the entire region. Modernization and gas cleaning continues. New electrostatic precipitators are being put into operation at the fifth, seventh and eighth blocks (as a result, the degree of purification was increased to 99.5%).
Yayvinskaya GRES was built near the village of Yayva in the Perm Territory. It belongs to the concern "E. On" from Germany. Construction began in 1955. In 1963, the first block was put into operation, and two years later, the remaining three. The capacity of the station's power units is 1016 MW, thermal capacity is 49 Gcal/hour. The design fuel is coal from the Kizelovsky and Kuznetsky basins. Since 1987, the main fuel is natural gas. On May 28, 2013, we started flaring associated petroleum gas from fields owned by OOO LUKOIL-PERM. GRES supplies electricity to the Verkhnekamsk regionand to the enterprises of the Berezniki-Solikamsk industrial hub. Since 2011, as part of the station, a new 425 MW combined-cycle power unit with high efficiency has been operating on natural gas. By 2022, associated gas utilization will be increased to 95%. Yaivinskaya GRES is the last one in the Russian Federation to be converted to use APG. Associated gas will go to the furnaces without pre-treatment.
Stavropolskaya GRES - IES, located in the city of Solnechnodolsk, Stavropol Territory. Its power is 2400 MW, heat transfer is 220 Gcal/hour. The design fuel is natural gas, the emergency reserve fuel is fuel oil. The share of GRES in the energy potential of the North Caucasus is 25%. Volumes of electricity generation - 35%. The first of eight 300 MW power units was launched in 1975, and the last in 1983.
In the coming years, the construction of a new power unit with a capacity of 420 MW will begin. This unit will be a combined cycle gas unit with an efficiency of about 58-60% (against the efficiency of the current power units of 33%). The unit will be launched in 2016, which will lead to a reduction in gas consumption, a reduction in the cost of electricity, flue gas emissions and warm water. Excess electricity will be sold to Georgia and Azerbaijan. In 2007-2009, it was planned to expand the GRES by two blocks of 800 MW each, but due to disagreements between the customer and the builders, the work was disrupted. The terrorist act at the Baksan hydroelectric power station forced us to reconsider our positions on ensuring the safety of the hydroelectric power station. An integrated system is being built from several lines of defense of the state district power plant from terrorist attacks.
