A new thermal power plant will be built in Moscow. The GTU-CHPP "Severny" will be based on a gas-turbine power unit – GTPP FT8 Swiftpac produced by Pratt & Whitney Power Systems with a total electric capacity of 60 MW. This GTPP is a double block – two FT8 turbines with a rated capacity of 27.4 MW, which drive one turbogenerator into rotation, are symmetrically positioned with respect to it. At the same time, the turbogenerator can operate with either two engines, or with one, giving out half the capacity.



It is planned that, in addition to gas-turbine equipment, GTU-CHPP will be equipped with two waste-heat boilers with unit heat output of 30 Gcal / h and two peak hot-water boilers of 60 Gcal / h each.

Gas supply of the new power unit will be provided by the booster compressor station Enerproject (Switzerland). The BCS includes three units that will compress fuel to the required working level of 3 MPa. Each unit with capacity of 18,000 m3 / h is equipped with a system for maintaining the design temperature of gas feeding to the turbines.

BCS successfully passed preliminary (factory) tests and is now delivered to the operation site.

The supply and launch of compressor units are being carried out by the company ENERGAS, an official partner of Enerproject SA in Russia and CIS countries.



Turnkey construction of GTU-CHPP "Severny" is conducted by UK DKM-Engineering CJSC. The power plant will provide electric and thermal power to a new microdistrict in the north of the capital.

After putting into operation the first stage of GTU-CHPP, it is planned to further expand the power facility. Another GTPP FT8 Swiftpac with waste-heat boilers will be installed, which will bring the total electric capacity of the plant to 120 MW.
