The supply of new stators is executed in accordance with the next stage of Rosenergoatom’s program for the upgrade and service life recovery of generator equipment installed at Russian NPPs.
Scheduled to be completed by 2015, the program is expected to enable reliable operation of turbo-generators in new operating modes until the end of the maximum possible operational lives of power units at the plant.
The program will increase the service life of generators, produced by Power Machines, by 25 years; extend the inter-repair period up to two years; and increase the period between overhauls up to six years.
Meanwhile, the plants equipped with 1,000MW turbo-generators will have an 18-month MTBR.
Taganrog Boiler-Making Works Krasny Kotelshchik, main production facility of EMAlliance, a member of the Power Machine, will also produce the first PN-1200 tube systems for low pressure heaters for the Balakovskaya plant by December 2013, while it will produce other three systems in early 2014.
The new equipment will be delivered by 2015 and installed in the existent enclosures of PN-1200 at the Balakovskaya NPP.
