Troitskaya GRES - the basis of the South Ural Energy

names of many energy-producing stations precedes the abbreviation TPP.The vast majority believes that it is hidden under normal hydroelectric power, however, the view is mistaken.According to the encyclopedia, plant - a state district power plant, and the water it has nothing to do.These utilities operate on any fuel and produce only electricity.Russian First District Power Plant was built in the 1914th, near Moscow.It was built by engineer Klasson, he worked at the local peat and provides 15-megawatt capacity.Typical power plant, developed in the Soviet Union, had a much more impressive performance, which reached 2400 megawatts.Over the years, the abbreviation is practically lost its original meaning.Now this term is called a very powerful condensing power plants included into the grid.One of these stations is the Troitskaya GRES.

This power plant, owned by the company "OGK-2", is regarded as one of the largest energy generation enterprises in the Southern Urals.This is crucial, she received due to its location.Built in the Chelyabinsk region, near the town of Troitsk GRES was the closest neighbor of the Magnitogorsk industrial hub.This neighborhood has led to the demand for the electricity generated by the station, is constantly increasing.

Troitskaya GRES working on coal, which is considered the main fuel station.Most of the fuel is hard coal mined in the Ekibastuz field.As a secondary fuel oil used to power companies.The base station's capacity is equal to 2059 megawatts, and it needs to go only about seven percent of this energy.Troitskaya GRES consists of eight units, however, the most remarkable part of it is considered to be a pipe, it recognized the highest in the land.Another "attraction" was the Russian-Kazakh border, which runs right through the station.TPP itself is still in Russia, while its ash dumps located in the Kazakhstan.

Troitskaya GRES It was built over several decades.The initial version of the station, built in 1960, producing 255 megawatts of electricity.Then, in the sixties, it was built, and the second stage, which ensured 834-megawatt capacity.The construction of the third stage occurred in the seventies.After this update, the amount of electricity generated by hydroelectric power station increased by 970 megawatts.This performance station supports now.Another coal-fired power is added to the asset's power in the 2014th, and the performance of utilities will increase by 600 megawatts.

Like other Russian GRES, Troitskaya power cares about the environment clean.For example, the ash generated by the station is substantially free of heavy metals.In addition, management has taken Troitskaya GRES environmental program, through which two blocks of the station is already equipped with modern pylegazoochistiteli, significantly reduce emissions.
