Optimization of the design of the South Ukrainian integrated power development

Abstract

1. During planning of the USSR's first South Ukrainian power development designs were developed which permit substantiating the technical possibility and cost effectiveness of uniting nuclear and hydroelectric-pumped-storage stations in a single power development. 2. The creation of the South Ukrainian integrated power development provides a substantial reduction of capital investments and operating costs, more complete use of water, land, and labor reserouces, and also permits obtaining additional nationsl economic effects not completely taken into account when estimating the cost effectiveness. 3. For integrated power developments uniting different types of power stations — nuclear and hydroelectric-pumped storage — and also multipurpose reservoirs, it is necessary to develop an improved special method of calculating the effectiveness which takes into account sufficiently completely their advantages and characteristics. 4. It is expedient to examine the question of the further expansion of the SUIPD with an increase of the capacity of the nuclear and pumped-storage stations and the creation on the basis of the SUIPD of a territorial agri-industrial complex. 5. With consideration of the pioneer character of construction of the SUIPD, during its planning and construction it is expedient to work out effective unified designs for subsequent introduction at other integrated power developments. 6. To obtain the maximum economic effect from the creation of integrated power developments similar to the SUIPD, their planning and construction should be accomplished simultaneously as a single object.
