Power Machines manufactured next-generation steam turbine

Under the contract, signed in summer of 2007, Power Machines designed, manufactured and tested the 225 MW steam turbine, as well as a turbine generator and auxiliary equipment for currently being constructed power generating unit of Kharanorskaya TPP located in the Trans-Baikal region and affiliated with OGK-3 OJSC. The company’s contractual obligations include installation supervision and start-up activities.
The К-225 steam turbine was produced at facilities of Leningradsky Metallichesky Zavod, Power Machines’ branch, with the use of advanced heat-proof materials and latest technology. It is more efficient and has higher performance as compared to previous-generation machines.  This unit is expected to replace medium-capacity standard turbines used in numerous thermal power plants in Russia and abroad.
Earlier, within the project to construct the power generating unit No. 3 of 225 MW capacity at Kharanorskaya TPP, Power Machines had manufactured and dispatched to the site a fully air-cooled turbine generator – also the company’s in-house development. As of today, this is Power Machines’ most powerful fully air-cooled turbine generator. Furthermore, under the contract with OGK-3 company, Power Machines’ branches are currently completing manufacturing of two similar steam turbines and two turbine generators for power units Nos. 8 and 9 of Cherepetskaya TPP in Tulskaya Oblast.
Kharanorskaya TPP’s new power unit is expected to help increase the total capacity of the plant, which covers half of Trans-Baikal energy system's demand in power energy, from 430 MW to 655 MW.
