Thermal tests of the first GTE-160 gas turbine plants at Kaliningradskaya TETs-2 heat and powerplant

Mikhail Burinov, Roman Konovalov, Alexander Agafonov – Karat RSK, Moscow

The article is devoted to the works completed in the first half of 2006. The data on the commissioning of PGU-450 combined cycle packages in Russia shows that why the presented information is topical nowadays.

PGU-400 combined cycle package characteristics at partial loads

Yury Melnikov, Andrey Moshkarin, Boris Shelygin – Ivanovo State Power University

The investment programmes of Russian heat generating companies approved in March 2008 provide for the installation in 2008-2012 [1] of 20 PGU-400 condensation and heat power packages. The packages operating on natural gas are designed around gas turbines of high capacity class (over 270 MW).

The increase of power efficiency in Russian companies and municipal units is very topical under conditions of Russia entry into the World Trade Organisation. One of the ways to solve the problem of power and heat supply to the customers is the use of gas turbine plants characterised by high efficiency, ecological properties and low fuel consumption. The development of the independent power supply at Silvinit is described in the article.

Comparative analysis of combined cycle packages with gas turbine and steam turbine driven compressors

The article describes the arrangement of the combined cycle package with a steam turbine driven compressor. The scheme is compared to the arrangement of the combined cycle package where a gas turbine is used to drive a compressor. When a steam turbine is used to drive a compressor and the air flow is constant it is possible to reduce the specific metal consumption and increase the power of a combined cycle package by 15%.

The design and functional features of Ural gas compression packages for North-European gas pipeline

The tender on the supply of gas compressor packages for the North-European gas pipeline was held in autumn 2007. The absolute winners of the tender were the Russian manufacturers of the gas and oil equipment. Five of six compressor stations will be produced by Perm companies — Iskra, Iskra–Turbogaz, and Iskra–Avigaz. Thus the high competitiveness of Ural gas compression packages compared to foreign gas compressor packages (such companies as Siemens, GE, Sumy Frunze NPO, etc. took part in the tender) was proven.
