The state-owned enterprise (SOE) Electrotyazhmash Plant in February 2021 plans to complete the installation of a new stator on the TGV-250-2PT3 turbine generator at the Kaiga NPP in India, according to the company’s website.
At present, the company’s engineers are supervising the dismantling of the old stator and preparing for the installation of a new one; the installation and commissioning of the equipment will also be supervised by the plant’s specialists.
According to the press service, the Kaiga NPP, a member of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), consists of four power units. Two of them are equipped with two TGV-250-2PT3 turbine generators manufactured by Electrotyazhmash delivered in 2005-2007.
Power of each machine is 250 MW, they have horizontal design, hydrogen-water cooling, and their weight is 280 tonnes.
Electrotyazhmash specializes in the production of powerful hydrogenerators, turbine generators for thermal power plants and nuclear power plants, electric motors for drives of rolling mills, mine hoists, traction electrical equipment for railroad and urban transport.
Electrotyazhmash together with its main partner Turboatom (Kharkiv) sees an opportunity to increase the order portfolio for JSC Ukrhydroenergo, which operates all major hydroelectric power stations in the Ukrainian sections of the Dnipro and Dniester Rivers, by two to three times in the next two years, Viktor Busko, who was suspended at his request from performing the duties of director general of the enterprise, has said.
“At present, together with the main partner Turboatom, a project is underway to modernize Ukrhydroenergo’s turbo generating equipment, in the future it is planned to jointly participate in no less large projects at Ukrainian nuclear power plants. The prospect of working with Ukrhydroenergo is very serious. We see an opportunity to increase the portfolio of orders by two to three times over the next two years,” Busko told Interfax-Ukraine.
He recalled that such large projects are exhibited according to international procurement procedures and attract all the world’s top manufacturers of generators and turbines.
“However, we are confident in our abilities and Electrotyazhmash has every chance not only to compete, but also to receive these orders, subject to careful preparation of documents and a very balanced approach to pricing its services. Our products are not inferior in quality, while there’s not a single reason why our price should be higher than the Austrian or American,” he said.
He said that there were debts for the delivered products in the Electrotyazhmash-Turboatom-Ukrhydroenergo supply chain.
