Background

CHPP-23 is one of Mosenergo's largest power plants, it provides electricity and heat to the Eastern, partially North-Eastern and Central administrative districts of Moscow, a population of over 2 million people.In the late 1950s, rapid housing construction and high rates of industrial growth in Moscow required additional generation of electricity and heat. The Executive Committee of the Moscow City Council decided to build the Izmailovo (CHP-23) thermal power plant, and already on December 17, 1966, the first unit was commissioned with a T-100-130 turbine, a TGM-96 boiler, a TVF-100-2 generator with an electric power of 100 MW and a thermal power of 160 Gcal/ h. In 1967, the construction and installation of the second turbine and the second boiler of the same capacity were complete. In 1968, the third and fourth turbines and the third and fourth power boilers were put into operation. In 1975-1982, four power units with T-250/300-240 turbines and TGMP-314Ts power boilers were put into operation.Since 1997, CHPP-23 enters a qualitatively new period of its development - the period of renewal of the main and auxiliary equipment. As part of the reconstruction program, the first turbine T-100-130 was replaced with a new, more modern T-110/120-130. In 2008, the second turbine T-100-130 was replaced with a turbine of modification T-110/120-130-5 with an air-cooled generator.In 2014, a number of heat generating facilities were transferred to the management of CHPP-23 - RTS "Babushkino-2", KTS-8 (decommissioned in 2015), as well as operating mini-CHP "Izmailovo", RTS "Babushkino-1", RTS Rostokino.The location of CHPP-23 in close proximity to the residential area of ​​the Metrogorodok area imposes on it a special responsibility for compliance with environmental legislation in the field of protection of the air and water basins, as well as protection from noise impact. CHPP-23 is one of the first Mosenergo plants to implement a system of continuous emission monitoring and accounting. Over the past years, no violation of the established environmental norms was registered.To reduce the noise impact on the adjacent territory, a number of innovative projects have been implemented at CHPP-23. Silencers are installed in the main safety valves (GPK) of all power boilers of the TGM-96 and TGMP-314 types, silencers are installed at gas distribution points (GRP-2 and GRP-3) and compressors. To reduce noise from cooling towers and autotransformers, special noise screens were installed at CHPP-23.
