OREANDA-NEWS. December 30, 2011. Ural Turbine Works is completing shipment of the new turbine intended for Abakan CHP of JSC “Yenisei TGC (TGC-13)”. The turbine will be the core of the Abakan CHP power unit that is currently under construction.

According to information communicated by Director of Abakan CHP branch Oleg Petrov, the equipment supplies open a new stage in implementation of the investment project for construction of the new power unit of Abakan CHP.

In late November, prior to shipment commencement, the Turbine Т-120/136-12,8-8МО shaft line rotation operation was performed on the Ural Turbine Works assembly bench. The operation performed on the works premises with participation of the customer representatives is the final phase of the apparatus fabrication and was undertaken with the aim of checking for defects in the assembled flow part of the turbine. The representatives of JSC “Sibirenergoengineering”, Abakan CHP branch of JSC “Yenisei TGC (TGC-13)” and JSC “Sibirenergoremont” signed the turbine branch assembly completion certificate.

The new turbine packages are partly already delivered to Abakan with the remaining ones to be shipped by the end of December, 2011. Currently, construction works for the boiler foundation erection are in progress at the plant.

Let us recall that construction of the Abakan CHP new power unit is an investment project of JSC “Yenisei TGC (TGC-13)” launched in the current year. The investment project implementation will enable a 120 MW augmentation of the Abakan CHP installed electric capacity with electric energy generation growth and provide for the opportunity to increase thermal energy output for Abakan heat supply needs.

When commissioned, the new power unit will enable a 700–900 mln kWh increase of the annual amount of electric energy generation as well as a considerable enhancement of the region energy supply reliability. The thermal capacity growth will give the opportunity to provide for heating over 500 sq. m of living quarters which will render feasible implementation of the program for Abakan building development in the prospective northward and southward directions.
