This equipment important for the future nuclear plant was mounted and prepared for the operation by subsidiary companies of the holding "TITAN-2".
The standby diesel generator station building contains four diesel generator sets. They are designed to power the main technological equipment of the power plant in case of external power source disconnection, before bringing the reactor plant to a safe state.
Successful commissioning of the diesel generator sets is necessary in order to meet the key challenge in 2017 – reactor first criticality.
The operation of starting up the first diesel generator proved to be a success. First it was rotated using the power of compressed air. After that fuel was supplied, and it was started to run at no load. Now experts may gradually bring the equipment to the rated power, and then put it in standby mode. It is the state specified for the diesel generators during operation of the nuclear power station.
Running the first diesel generator sets shall be performed at least for 72 hours.
During the said period of time the staff of electrical construction workshop of the LNPP under construction will check its operation under different modes. Then, step by step, all four diesel generator sets will be prepared for the reactor first criticality.
Note:
The Holding “Titan-2” is the largest in the North-West group of companies, erecting the most important objects of the nuclear industry and energy. The organization performs a full range of construction and installation works from engineering to commissioning.
The Holding “Titan-2” is one of the main contractors for the construction of power units No. 1 and No. 2 of the Leningradskaya NPP-2. Main organizations of the company perform 30% of general construction and 80% of installation works on the site. Specialists of the holding are engaged on the objects of the Leningradskaya NPP-2 first and second power units. The works are being performed in the buildings of the reactor, turbine, electricity, water, heating system and other structures of power units.
