The Saratov Hydroelectric Station or the Saratov GES (Russian: Саратовская ГЭС) also known as the Lenin Komsomol Saratov Hydroelectric Power Station (Russian: Саратовская ГЭС имени Ленинского Комсомола) is a hydroelectric power plant on the River Volga that is located in Balakovo, Saratov Oblast, 130 km northeast from the city of Saratov, Russia.

Saratov Reservoir (Russian: Саратовское водохрани́лище) is an artificial lake in the lower part of the Volga River in Russia formed by the dam of the Saratov Hydroelectric Station situated in the city of Balakovo. Filling of the reservoir started in 1967. The uppermost point of the reservoir is situated in Tolyatti, it stretches through Samara Oblast and Saratov Oblast. The city of Samara and the Samara Bend are situated on the reservoir. The namesake city of Saratov is actually situated downstream the dam.

        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

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

        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.

        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

        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
