The work on the production of equipment for Seredniodniprovska HPP (station number 2) continues in the workshops of JSC “Turboatom”.
In particular, in the first ten days of October, “Turboatom” specialists passed to the representatives of PrJSC “Ukrhydroenergo”, as a customer, functional tests of the runner for the Seredniodniprovska HPP. After that, the equipment will be completed and prepared for shipment to the station.
It is worth reminding that in June 2019, the procedure of pairing the shaft with the runner bushing of the first of two hydraulic turbines was completed. The company's specialists performed a control assembly of the equipment, during which a joint bore was carried out in the runner bushing and the shaft for the subsequent installation of bushings and bolts in them.
On November 22, 2017, “Turboatom” and “Ukrhydroenergo” signed a contract for the reconstruction of two hydraulic units (adjustable blade turbines and generators) for the Seredniodniprovska HPP. The implementation of the contract is scheduled until September 2021. This will increase the capacity of “Ukrhydroenergo” hydropower plants, increase the volume of electric energy production, extend the life of HPP equipment and increase the reliability of the country's energy system as a whole.
