Technopromexport completed 72-hour tests of the new power unit at Mezhdunarodnaya TETs heat and power plant

According to the 72-hour test plan the new TETs power unit (the previous name is TETs MMDC Moscow-City) produced the design capacity in the city power grid. The power unit with the total electric capacity of 120 MW and thermal capacity of 205 Gcal/h will operate in a combined cycle.

The unit compiles two 45 MW SGT-800 gas turbines (Siemens) and MP-16DH-series steam extraction turbine rated at 30 MW. It also includes two Alstom heat recovery generators and KVGM-151,2-150 peak water waste heat boiler with the thermal capacity of 130 Gcal/h. The efffi-ciency is 56% which is the highest efficiency level in Russia. The unit will produce electricity to 20 kW and 110 kW power grids.
The construction was carried out within 18 months. The convenient assembling was ensured by the rational area utilization (the unit seizes 1.9 ha while the standard is 10-12 ha) and faciliated by 400-tons cranes function.
The construction of the second TETs power unit in the Moscow-City business centre followed after the contract signed by the Moscow City Government with Technopromexport in June, 2005. The unit is designed to meet the Moscow-City business centre power demands.
