Auxiliary energy supply has been carried out at Novovoronezh NPP-2 power unit No 2 under construction
One of the key events of the power unit No 2 (unit No 7 of NV NPP) construction has taken place at Novovoronezh NPP-2 – an auxiliary energy supply.
The energy is supplied from the complete 220 kV switch gear through a group of 220/10 kV reserve transformers to all sections of 10 kV normal operation, as well as to 0.4 kV sections according to the standard scheme. Previously, the energy of 0.4 kV was supplied in accordance with time-based schemes.
Talking about the significance of this event the Deputy Chief Engineer on Electrical Equipment of Novovoronezh NPP Sergey Smirnov noted, “Auxiliary energy supply is one of the key events in the construction of the nuclear plant. Power supply organized according to the standard scheme allows us to start the commissioning of electrically-powered equipment. This is an important stage bringing us closer to the launch of a new power unit.”
The commissioning and testing will be performed on the equipment of monitoring and control systems, uninterruptible power supply units, fire fighting units, etc. The readiness of this equipment will allow us to begin testing the process equipment and to start the system cleanout to on the open reactor.
The physical start-up of NV NPP-2 power unit No 2 is planned for 2018.
The Novovoronezh nuclear power plant is a branch of the JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom". The station is located on the bank of the Don River in 42 km to the south of Voronezh. It is the Russia's first nuclear power plant with VVER reactors (water-to-water power reactors of case type with regular water under pressure). Each of five reactors of the station can be a main one – a prototype of serial power reactors: the power unit No. 1 with the VVER-210 reactor, the power unit No. 2 with the VVER-365 reactor, the No. 3, 4 power units with the VVER-440 reactors, the power unit No. 5 with the VVER-1000 reactor. The first power unit was launched in 1964, the second – in 1969, third – in 1971, fourth – 1972, fifth – 1980. There are three power units (power units No.1, 2 were stopped in 1984 and 1990 respectively) in work at the moment.
The power units Nos 1 and 2 were stopped in 1984 and 1990, respectively. The power unit No 3 was stopped in 2016 for decommissioning activities. The power unit No 1 of Novovoronezh NPP-2 was commissioned on 27 February, 2017. The power unit No 2 of Novovoronezh NPP-2 is in the middle of construction and installation works; its commissioning is planned for 2018.
