This is a good place to explore the hydroelectric! Saratov HPP - the longest in Europe, but it is the low-pressure in the Volga-Kama cascade: design head just 9.7 meters, maximum - 15 meters. Above the station, ride on rails huge gantry cranes, and the roof HPP - collapsible. In order to replace the large aggregates of the desired portion of the roof open and deliver large-tonnage equipment with the help of cranes. Saratov Hydroelectric Station 8

From garbage often swim logs and the remnants of human activity - plastic bottles, bags ... The negative impact of hydropower plants - this is certainly an impact on fish populations. The problem to solve is not yet possible. And more recently, it was introduced 'fish tax' - now HPP pay 50 million rubles for the impact on the environment. Saratov Hydroelectric Station 11

Gantry cranes with lifting capacity 2h180 and 2x200 tons rise above the power house. On the hook of a bottom valve that regulates the flow of water. It is terrible to imagine what size! Saratov Hydroelectric Station 12

For this we use hydroelectric dam. As I said at the same time it serves as a hydroelectric automobile bridge across the Volga. Saratov Hydroelectric Station 13

Saratov HPP can be immediately recognized by the four gantry cranes so. Two service upstream, carrying capacity 2 × 180 tons, and two lower - carrying capacity of 2 × 200t. In terms of their interests include the transfer of equipment and, thanks to them, there is maneuvering gates and bars. How are they in, I already told you last time. Saratov Hydroelectric Station 14

Large high gantry cranes are used to transport equipment for maneuvering the gates and grilles upstream water (2 × 180 tons lifting capacity from 26 m span). They rise above the folding roof of the machine hall. The gates of the downstream served by two gantry cranes 2 × 200t (those that are lower). Saratov Hydroelectric Station 15

The administrative building of the Saratov HPP. This skyscraper me very surprised, I have not seen HPP management building of this size, however, tried to convince me this, saying it only mean so much, but inside ... but I'm still stuck to his. Incidentally, the first photo of this review is made just from the roof of the building. Saratov Hydroelectric Station 17

Then the whole thing in the best traditions of Soviet propaganda has been taken into service. And rightly so, here and now in our conditions, it would be nice to get together. And then, our country has gone from being completely paralyzed the industry to the NEP and the electrification plan, the whole of the city on the map of our country appeared.

Saratov HPP hydraulic units are the largest in Russia among units with Kaplan turbines. Weight of rotating parts of the vertical hydraulic unit - about 1 230 tons, the diameter of the turbine wheel -. 10.3 m Each blade has a length of 3.5 meters and weighs 32 tons. Generator stator diameter of 15 meters weighs over 230 tons, and the rotor - more than 485 tons. Turbines two horizontal bulb Saratov HPP units at the time of the design were the most powerful in the world (45 MW) among the cars of this type have the largest diameter impeller (7.5 m).Saratov Hydroelectric Station 26
