Engineering refit of the Dorogobuzh Heat and Electric Power Plant

Abstract

This article discusses the introduction of two gas turbine units with an overall power of 12 MW in 2005 at the Dorogobuzh TETs (Heat and Electric Power Plant). This plant provides energy and heat to the Dorogobuzh industrial cluster and the 30000 people living in the Dorogobuzh region. The need to reconstruct and refit the Dorogobuzh TETs (Smolensk Oblast’, Russia), which had become noncompetitive in the market, is examined. The engineering state of the Dorogobuzh TETs before and after the introduction of two gas turbine units with an overall power of 12 MW in 2005 is described in detail; the consumption and thermal and electrical energy output parameters are compared. The technical characteristics of the new equipment, including GTD-6RM gas turbine power units, TGS-6 turbogenerators, and boiler recovery units, are given.
