Background

Dzerzhinskaya CHPP is the second largest power plant in the Nizhny Novgorod region in terms of installed thermal capacity, located in the city of Dzerzhinsk.

Since October 1, 2007, the Dzerzhinsk CHP plant has been part of the Nizhny Novgorod branch of PJSC T Plus.

Today, the installed electric capacity of the CHPP is 565 MW, and the installed thermal capacity is 1474 Gcal/h.

The station equipment runs on natural gas (91%) and fuel oil (9%).

The construction of the Dzerzhinskaya CHPP near the village of Krasny Okar began in June 1956. The launch of the first power unit, which included a turbine with a capacity of 65 MW and 2 boiler units with a capacity of 420 tons / hour each, occurred on October 13, 1961. In the next three years, 2 more turbine units with a capacity of 60 and 50 MW were put into commercial operation. The construction of the first stage of the CHPP was completed in 1966 with the commissioning of a boiler with a capacity of 420 t/h.

In 1968, the Council of Ministers of the USSR instructed the Ministry of Energy to expand the Dzerzhinskaya CHPP. The commissioning of the second stage of the station was supposed to increase its installed capacity by more than two and a half times. So, in the period from 1970 to 1979, peak boilers No. 1-3 were put into operation, 2 turbine units with a capacity of 50 and 100 MW, as well as 3 boiler units, 420 t/h each, were put into operation.

In 1982, another 420 t/h boiler was put into permanent operation, and in 1983, peak hot water boiler No. 4. In 1984, a 135 MW steam turbine was put into operation. Another 420 t/h boiler was put into operation in 1988, after which the electric power of the CHPP increased to 456 MW.

In 1991, the station began work on the reconstruction of outdated main equipment. So, in 1992, turbine unit no. 2 was replaced, which made it possible to increase the capacity of the CHPP by 20 MW. In the period from 1993 to 2005, the boiler and turbine unit no. 3 were completely dismantled at the Dzerzhinsky thermal power plant, instead of which a gas turbine power unit No. 3 was installed, consisting of a combined cycle plant (CCGT) with a capacity of 150 MW, a utilizing boiler with a capacity of 300 t/h and a 178 MW generator.[9]
