The comprehensive testing included 70 hours of operation under a nominal load and with output of power to the grid.
INTER RAO UES has thus completely fulfilled its obligations under the agreement on power provision concluded in accordance with the Decree of the Russian Government as of 11 August 2010.
Currently the Russian Ministry of Energy is reviewing the application to assign the “Innovative Equipment” status to the equipment installed at the power generation unit No.2 of Ivanovo CCGT. The application was already approved by the commission of the Research and Engineering Council of the Russian Ministry of Energy in April 2012.
A project to construct the Ivanovo CCGT power generation station is now in progress in Komsomolsk (Ivanovo region). According to the project, two PGU-325 power generation units will be installed, with the combined power of 650 MW. The project is implemented as part of “Fuel and Energy”, a special federal programme. A unique feature of the project is that, as part of the construction of the power generation station, the first Russian high-power gas turbine, GTD-110, is developed and enhanced. This means that the power generation units of Ivanovo CCGT also act as a testing ground for new technologies and power equipment developed and produced in Russia, which can be used for further modernization of Russia’s power plants.
The first power generation unit PGU-325 of Ivanovo CCG was commissioned in 2007. The core equipment of the PGU-325 power generation unit comprises two 110-MW GTD-110 gas turbines with electric generators of the TZFG-110-2MUZ type (manufactured by Power Machines), two waste-heat boilers of the P-88 type (manufactured by ZiO-Podolsk), and a К-110-6,5 steam-turbine plant with an TZFG-110-2MUZ electric generator (manufactured by Power Machines).
