THE RELEVANCE OF POWER GENERATING CAPACITIES BASED ON THE COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANTS OF HIGH POWER

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article was to substantiate the relevance and perspectivity of construction and operation of thermal power plants working on the combined cycle in Russia. This paper provides an overview of the current state of the technology. Its capabilities were disclosed and a global trend to use combined cycle was revealed. Special attention was paid to Russia's abilities to self-construction of such generating capacity. The authors examined the documents adopted by the Ministry of Energy of Russia, according to which the development of the CCGT is a top government priority modernization of the energy sector of the country. The article describes the structure of the current consumption of energy resources and gives the prediction of its changes until 2030. On the basis of the data it was concluded that there is an additional need for CCGT in Russia. General advantages of combined cycle power plants in comparison with classical schemes of power generation in terms of technical and economic efficiency were disclosed. The paper reflects the problems of investment attractiveness of CCGT construction projects in Russia. The cause of weak interest of investors to such projects was identified.
