Cogeneration and power export as factors of the Nogliki gas turbine power plant expansion

Abstract

The paper focuses on the prospects for expansion of the Nogliki gas turbine power plant in terms of potential cogeneration of the Nogliki urban-type settlement of the Sakhalin region and power export from the Sakhalin Island to Japan. The state and problems of the Nogliki gas turbine power plant and heating systems of Nogliki are described. The alternatives of the Nogliki power plant expansion by upgrading with addition of hot-water heat recovery boilers and shift of part of thermal load of Nogliki from boiler plants to the gas turbine power plant. The excess power in this case is planned to be exported to Japan.
