Verhne-Mutnovskaya Power Station

	Verhne-Mutnovskaya Power Station Verhne-Mutnovskaya power station is located in to the southwest of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia. The power plant was put into operation in 1999. The power plant has three identical direct cycle turbines of 4 MW each. Each turbine is rated at 8.3 bars inlet pressure and a steam flowrate of 8.4 kg/s. Another feature of the station is an air-cooled condenser. The power plant is part of a single complex with Mutnovskaya power plant-1. These plants share the same geothermal field. This complex is involved in the Central Power Hub.

	Megawatt The watt (symbol: W) is the unit of Power (physics), power or radiant flux in the International System of Units, International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 joule per second or 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−3. It is used to quantification (science), quantify the rate of Energy transformation, energy transfer. The watt is named after James Watt (1736–1819), an 18th-century Scottish people, Scottish invention, inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist who improved the Newcomen steam engine, Newcomen engine with his own Watt steam engine, steam engine in 1776. Watt's invention was fundamental for the Industrial Revolution. Overview When an object's velocity is held constant at one metre per second against a constant opposing force of one Newton (unit), newton, the rate at which Work (physics), work is done is one watt. : \mathrm In terms of electromagnetism, one watt is the rate at which electrical work is performed when a current of one ampere (A) flows across an electrical potentia ...

	Mutnovskaya Power Station Mutnovskaya power station is a geothermal power plant. It is the largest geothermal power plant in Russia, 60 km south from the administrative center of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka region, on the bank of the Falshivaya River. Its capacity is 50 MW. The plant is operated by Geotherm JSC, a subsidiary of PJSC RusHydro. The station is located northeast of the Mutnovskaya hill in the southeastern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula at an altitude of about 800 meters above sea level. History The Soviet period The first geothermal power plant in the USSR (Pauzhetskaya GeoPP) was built in Kamchatka in 1966. Based on the results of its successful operation, it was decided to continue the development of geothermal energy in the region. In 1974, the Institute of Volcanology of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR estimated the potential capacity of a geothermal station on the basis of the Mutnovsky deposit at 300-400 MW. In September 1977, the State Planning Committee of the USSR decided t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
