Power Machines completed the first stage of modernization of the power units at Syrdarya TPP
After the modernization completed by Power Machines, two power units (No. 3 and No. 4) of the largest power plant in Central Asia successfully passed warranty tests and confirmed the stated uprating indicators up to 325 MW.
As a result of modernization, both power units are now equipped with advanced equipment that has improved performance and meets all the reliability and safety requirements. The service life of newly supplied turbine units is 40 years, while the capacity of each power unit is increased by 25 MW to 325 MW.
In 2020, as part of the second stage, power units No. 5 and 6 will be modernized. As a result of modernization, the rated capacity of power units will increase from 300 to 325 MW, the specific fuel consumption will decrease from 335-340 gr. to 320 gr. per kWh
Currently, Power Machines continues to ship equipment manufactured for the modernization of power units No. 5 and No. 6. All operations are performed in accordance with the schedule and at a high quality level, which is confirmed by experts of regulatory entities.
The scope of turnkey work of PJSC «Power Machines» includes comprehensive modernization of the turbine, generator, boiler and auxiliary equipment, introduction of automatic process control systems, retrofitting of automatic control systems, plus a set of construction and installation supervision works. Basic equipment of the power units was manufactured by Russian enterprises: Leningrad Metal Plant, Electrosila, TKZ Krasny Kotelshchik, and OJSC Kaluga Turbine Works.
According to the EPC contract signed between PJSC «Power Machines» and Syrdarya TPP JSC pursuant to the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan «On Measures for Phased Modernization of Syrdarya TPP Power Units», the Russian power engineering company is carrying out full-scale turnkey modernization of six power units.
