The commissioning of the gas-turbine power unit of Livny CHPP took place
1 February 2013
There is completed reconstruction of Livny CHPP (Orel Region) that is part of the large-scale investment program of OJSC Quadra for the renewal of generating equipment. For this project, a 30 MW gas turbine unit has been built and commissioned.
For the first time in half a century – since the launch of the power plant – the capacity of the CHPP is significantly increased. Electricity generation was raised 5 times, which significantly improve the reliability of the Livny energy center.
The new power generating unit is created on the basis of the LM2500+G4 gas turbine manufactured by General Electric and the waste-heat boiler of type KUP-55-3,9-440 produced by the Energomash plant in Belgorod. Because of the reconstruction, the annual electricity output of Livny CHPP will be more than 261 million kWh.
Compression and feeding of fuel gas to the turbine at working pressure of 3.7 MPa are provided by ENERGAS booster compressor unit with capacity of 1,000 m3 / h.

REFERENCE. Livny CHPP is the most important life support facility in the city of Livny, the second largest in the Orel region. In December 1958, the first boiler unit and turbine generator were commissioned at the station. In March 1959, the second stage of the CHPP was commissioned. By December 1960, the plant reached its designed capacity. In 1962, Livny CHPP was included in the unified power system of the European part of the country.
After upgrade, the installed electric capacity of facility is 42 MW, thermal - 273.6 Gcal / h.
