They have finished implementation of the investment project at OJSC “TGC-9” Branch – Perm HPP-14. This program enabled power engineers to increase the working capacity one of the biggest electrical stations of Perm Region by 85mW. Launching of new power equipment will raise the reliability of heat supply, reduce power shortage in the Perm-Zakamsk knot, provide generation of extra power for industry development and new residential construction.

The solemn ceremony of putting the unit into service will take place on July 8. The presentation will be participated by Representative of Perm Region Government, President of CJSC “IES” Michail Slobodin, first Vice-President of CJSC “IES” Andrey Shishkin and Executive Vice-President of CJSC “IES” –Manager of Division “Generation of Ural” Andrey Makarov.

You are welcome to take part in the solemn ceremony. OJSC “TGC-9” organizes visit for representatives of mass media. Please confirm your participation till 12 p.m., July 4.

Perm HPP-14: Perm HPP-14 provides power maintenance of industrial plants and residential houses of Kirovsky District of Perm. The installed electrical capacity of HPP-14 is 295mW, heat capacity is 1021gKal/hr. The first power unit was put into service in 1966. the main fuel is gas.

Project data: Necessity increase of the station capacity caused by regularly growing load on the HPP equipment, power shortage of Perm-Zakamsk knot. Within the investment program implementation at HPP-14 it is mounted a new turbine Ò-35/55, which will use steam of the turbine R-50 which had been non-operating later and was reconstructed within the project. The project on usage of recently non-operating backpressure turbine is the second practice in Ural. Earlier the similar installation was performed in January 2007 at the OJSC “TGC-9” Branch “Tchaikovskaya HPP-18.

Such a technological solution provides a considerable growth of the working capacity of the power station, enables to provide flexibility and cyclic load capability of the HPP-14 equipment, to optimize loads of generating equipment and increase the reliability of power maintenance of consumers.

The installed capacity of Perm HPP-14 is 295mW, when the turbine Ò-35/55 will be launched it will make 330mW, the working capacity will increase by 85mW.
