CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background

The Vladivostok-2 power station is a 497-MW combined heat- and electricity-generating station, which is owned by Far Eastern Generating Company, which in turn is owned by RusHydro.[26]

The plant has been operating since 1970. The power station uses a cross-link design for flows of steam and water. The station consists of 14 boiler units and 6 turbine units.

The station produced 2,109 million kWh of electricity in 2020.[27]

Coal-to-gas conversion

The power plant was originally designed to operate by burning coal, but between 2010 and 2013, 10 of the 14 boilers were converted to run on natural gas.[28][29]

In May 2021, RusHydro announced plans to complete a full transition to gas-fired generation at the power station. The first of the four remaining coal-fired boilers at the station were planned to convert to gas by the end of 2021, two more boilers to be converted by 2025, and the final boiler to be decommissioned and dismantled.[29][30] In March 2022, the conversion of the first of the remaining four boilers (boiler #11) was completed, in line with the plan.[31] Furthermore, in its 2021 Annual Report released in Q2 2022 and in its press release from March 2022, RusHydro stated that the process to convert all boilers to gas will be completed by the end of 2022[32][33], therefore ahead of the original plan.

It is likely that Units 1-3 are primarily operating on natural gas since 2013 when 10 out of 14 boilers were converted to gas; therefore, we list them only as gas-fired units with coal as a backup fuel.[28][29] Since 3 out of 14 boilers are still running on coal, we assume that the remaining 3 Units (units 4-6) are running primarily on coal with gas as a backup fuel. However given RusHydro's statement that the conversion of all boilers to gas will be completed by the end of 2022, it is expected that full conversion to gas is imminent.[31][32][33]

In February 2023, RusHydro reported that it has completed the process of converting the 3 boilers (12,13,14) to gas by the end of 2022.[34][35] According to another source, the last boiler (No.11) will be dismantled and a new gas-fired boiler installed by Q1 2024.[36] The station stopped burning coal already in March 2022.[36][31][37] It is therefore assumed that the turbine units are fully gas-fired from the beginning of 2023.

Modernization

In addition to conversion to gas, RusHydro also planned to replace the three oldest turbine units at the station at Units 1, 2, and 3. In particular, Unit's 1 turbine capacity is to increase from 80MW to 120MW by 2023, Unit 2's capacity from 98MW to 120MW by 2027 and Unit 3's capacity from 105MW to 120MW by 2027.[38]

Agreements to supply the turbine units with Russian manufacturers have already been signed.[33] 6 older boilers will be decommissioned and replaced with new boilers of higher capacity.[33] Electrical and auxiliary equipment will also be replaced. When the modernization project is completed, the capacity of the power station will increase to 574 MW.[29][39]

In November 2023, the installation of Unit 1R was nearing completion. The main equipment had been delivered to the site, and the commissioning of the unit was in the final stage. After 1R is launched, Unit 2 will be retired.[40] The Russian Ministry of Energy 2024-2029 energy program released in November 2023 listed the unit as operating in 2023 with the capacity of 120 MW.[41] However, as of April 2024, it still has not been fully commissioned.[42][43]

According to an order issued by the Russian government in December 2023, units 2R and 3R will be commissioned by January 1, 2028.[44]
