Plant "Electrosila" in St. Petersburg: address, products. OJSC Power Machines

Electrosila (St. Petersburg) is a large machine-building enterprise. He was and remains one of the world leaders in the production of equipment for hydroelectric power stations, nuclear and thermal power plants. The plant supplies to Europe, Africa, and Asia. The whole geography of cooperation counts 87 countries of the world.

At present , nuclear power plants in the territory of the CIS are equipped with generators of this enterprise. Also the equipment is mounted on 70% of hydraulic and 60% of heat stations.

History of creation

The first factory, engaged in the production of electric machines for industrial enterprises, bore the name "Siemens-Schuckert". It was founded in 1853. In fact, it was a branch of a German company opened on Vasilievsky Island in response to large orders from the Russian government. In 1898 the factory became part of the Russian joint-stock company "Siemens and Halske", and from this moment the history of the enterprise is counted.

After nationalization

After the revolution, the enterprise was nationalized. Its real name was Electrosila Plant in 1922. During this period, the company's specialists took part in the development and implementation of the state electrification plan for Russia (GOELRO). Design Bureau was designed the first in the history of the country's electric generators. They were delivered to the Volkhov HPP, Gomel and Omsk TPPs.

In the 1930s, the Elektrosila plant was a developed industrial structure with advanced engineering technologies. At the production facilities, new types of machines and demanded structures were designed and manufactured. The company supplied products to domestic and foreign markets, exported technology, shared experience.

Specialists of this enterprise in the early thirties created a unique hydrogenerator with a capacity of 62 MW, which breathed life into DnieproGES, and the plant made it the industry leader. In 1937, by the forces of employees, a turbine-type generator with a capacity of 100 MW was designed and built. At that time it was a technological breakthrough of the world level.

Achievements

Postwar time posed new challenges, there were projects for the use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes. The Electrosila plant took an active part in developing the technological part of future nuclear power plants. The design bureau was created at the enterprise, the main tasks of which was the design of electromagnetic converters.

In the period of 60-70s the plant equipped the Krasnoyarsk HPP with generators of 500 MW capacity , and for the Sayano-Shushenskaya station 640 MW machines were built. In 1980, the employees of the enterprise were supplied with another professional record, and a technological breakthrough was made. The company has created the world's largest high-speed turbo-generator, whose capacity is 1200 MW. The place of his work was Kostromskaya GRES.

One of the greatest achievements that the Electrosila plant can be proud of is the design and manufacture of explosion-proof turbine generators for nuclear power plants. Such machines have no analogues in the world engineering market. In addition to providing power stations, the company produces electric cars in demand in shipbuilding, chemical, mining, and metallurgy. Most enterprises use products with the stamp of the Electrosila plant.

As a part of the concern

In 1996, Elektrosila became a joint stock company, and after completing the procedure for changing ownership in 2000, it joined the Power Machines Group. Companies that worked in engineering, aimed at producing equipment for generating electricity, heat, etc. joined the association. The concentration of one branch of engineering under a single jurisdiction increases the country's chances of successful competition in the globalizing economic process.

It is believed that by 2020 the world's electricity demand will increase to 22 trillion kWh, and only those enterprises that will be able to provide the customer with a full range of services will be able to successfully operate in this manufacturing segment. Such an opportunity is available only to large enterprises that meet the toughened world standards.

As part of Power Machines, Elektrosila is involved in the manufacture of equipment for Russian cascade projects at Bureyskiye HPPs, Boguchanskaya HPPs, Indian TPPs (Sipat, Varkh), Mexican HPP El Kahon and many others.

Products of OJSC "Power Machines"

The Electrosila plant is involved in the production processes of all the projects of the concern. The merger of Power Machines produces a range of products in the following areas:

• Nuclear power. On the basis of the plant "Electrosila" steam turbines, turbine islands, drive turbines, turbogenerators, control and automation systems are produced.
• Thermal power engineering. Boiler and turbine islands are produced, equipment for boiler houses, excitation systems, steam generators, starting devices, turbogenerators.
• Hydropower engineering. Hydro turbines, hydrogenerators, excitation systems, pre-turbine gates, launch systems, etc. are produced.

• Industrial, transport equipment. The output of AC generators, complete devices for alternating and direct current electric generators, electric drives for AC and DC devices, traction electric drives, electric motors, synchronous generators and steam turbines for the needs of the shipbuilding industry is established.
• Electric grid production. The company produces transformer complexes, and also deals with their design and installation.

Social sphere

The company pays much attention to the social security of personnel, labor safety and ensuring a decent level of wages. On the territory of the plant there are social facilities, such as dining rooms, medical centers, libraries, etc. Each employee can count on preferential purchase of sanatorium vouchers, as well as preferences when purchasing permits for houses and recreation centers, children's camps. The corporation provides all specialists with working conditions in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

For employees of the company, whose work is associated with increased risks to health, medical examinations are conducted annually on the basis of medical institutions. The company issues a corporate edition of "Megawatt", which reflects the latest news of the concern, highlights the events within the team, also operates corporate television, Internet sites, regularly conducted radio broadcasts.

Management

Director of the company Elektrosila - Rabchenya Vladimir Nikolaevich. I received a special education in the Mogilev Machine-Building Institute, after which I was sent to the plant for distribution. He began his career as a master.

He received a second higher education in the Leningrad Institute of Engineering and Economics, where he mastered the economic aspects of the engineering industry. In 1997, he deservedly received the post of director for the production of the plant "Elecrosila", and in 2011 became the director of the enterprise.

Address

The plant "Elecrosila" is one of the six world leaders in the construction of hydroelectric generators. He successfully competes with Hitachi, General Electric, Alsthom, Siemens, ABB. Where is the plant "Electrosila"? The address of the company: St. Petersburg, Moskovsky Prospect, Building 139.

After the plant was poured into the Siloviye Mashiny Concern, part of its territory (7.2 hectares) along the odd side of Moscow Avenue was given for construction. The beginning of construction is planned for 2017. At this stage, the production capacity is withdrawn from the zone.
