Elektrownia Kelvin

Elektrownia Kelvin – węglowa elektrownia cieplna w Kempton Park w prowincji Gauteng, w pobliżu portu lotniczego Johannesburg w Republice Południowej Afryki. Historia Pierwszy blok został uruchomiony w 1957 roku, a ostatni w 1963 roku. Obecnie elektrownia Kelvin składa się z dwóch bloków (Kelvin A i Kelvin B) o łącznej mocy 600MW. Właściciel Właścicielem jest spółka Kelvin Power z siedzibą w Kempton Park w RPA założona w 2000 roku. Spółka ma umowę z miastem na 20-letni zakup energii. Właścicielem Kelvin Power jest Kelvin Holdings kontrolowana przez Nedbank Capital Limited i Investec Bank Limited. Ekologia Elektrownia znajduje się na wschód od Johannesburga i jest odpowiedzialna za zanieczyszczenia powietrza w mieście. W 2016 roku organizacja non-profit Earthlife Africa zorganizowała demonstracje, zadając równocześnie władzom Johannesburga pytanie dlaczego utrzymuje starą, nieefektywną i drogą elektrownię zamiast zastąpić ją czystą, bezpieczną, niedrogą i niezawodną energią odnawialną. Miasto i właściciele odmówili udzielenia informacji. Przypisy
ТЕС Кельвін

ТЕС Кельвін — теплова електростанція на північному сході Південно-Африканської Республіки в Йоганнесбурзі. Перші потужності на майданчику цієї конденсаційної станції, розрахованої на використання вугілля, звели у 1957—1960 роках. Це була так звана Station A, котра мала шість парових турбін по 30 МВт кожна. В наступному десятилітті (1962—1969) спорудили другу чергу — Station B із семи парових турбін по 60 МВт. Станція тривалий час належала муніципалітету Йоганнесбургу, допоки у 2001-му не була приватизована. Таке рішення було, зокрема, зумовлене потребою постійних ремонтних робіт на ТЕС, основне обладнання якої вже відпрацювало кілька десятків років. В підсумку у 2012-му старішу Station A закрили. Що стосується другої черги, то у 2015 році внаслідок відновлювальних робіт на одному генераторі та п'яти турбінах вдалось довести фактичну потужність станції зі 120 до 300 МВт. Примітки

Kingsmead College is a private girls' primary and high school situated in Melrose, Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. The school is located next to the Gautrain Rosebank Station. Kingsmead College caters for girls from Grade 000 to Grade 12 and has around 870 students. History Kingsmead College was founded by Doris Vera Thompson in October 1933 and in 1934 opened its doors to 136 girls, from Grade 1 to Post-Matriculation. Over the years, houses and gardens adjacent to the original property were purchased, providing further buildings needed to cater for a steadily increasing number of young girls coming to the school. Doris Vera Thompson helped to plan St Brigid's Chapel on the school grounds and she considered the simple building to be the “heart of the school.” From 1939 onwards, the Boarders used the Chapel regularly until 1999, when the Boarding House was closed. Each class attends Chapel Assembly regularly during the term. The chapel is open daily during the week from 07h00 to 17h00 and, on Sundays, it is used by the Kingsmead Christian Fellowship for Christian worship and prayer. Many Old Kingsmeadians return to the chapel for weddings and Christenings. The chapel is dedicated to St. Brigid. Organisation Kingsmead College teaches Grades 000-Matric.

Kingsmead Cricket Ground

Kingsmead Cricket Ground is a cricket ground in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Its stated capacity is 25,000, although grass terracing makes up part of the viewing area. The 'end names' are the Umgeni End (north) and the Old Fort Road End (south). It is the home ground of the Dolphins. In October 2019, Hollywoodbets was announced as the naming rights sponsor of the ground, which is now known as Hollywoodbets Kingsmead Stadium until August 2024. Cricket The venue hosted the first home Test for the South African cricket team after re-admission into international cricket and also hosted the Test against the English cricket team in 1939, which lasted from the third to the thirteenth of March and was called off over fears that the English would miss their ship home. The first Test match to be played here was between South Africa and England on 18 January 1923, which resulted in a draw on the 5th day. It has been renowned as a seamers wicket, and there is also a famous myth regarding how the tide affects batting conditions, as the ground is quite close to the beach. Many batting collapses in matches in the past have jokingly been blamed on changes in the tide. On 19 September 2007 the ground witnessed Yuvraj Singh's iconic six consecutive sixes off Stuart Broad's over in the World Twenty20 match between India and England, to mark the fastest fifty ever in any form of cricket.

Klerkskraal Dam

Klerkskraal Dam is a combined gravity and arch type dam located on the Mooi River, near Ventersdorp, North West, South Africa. It was established in 1969 and its main purpose is to serve for irrigation. The hazard potential of the dam has been ranked high (3). The dam is also a well known bass fishing destination in the region. History The construction of the dam was completed in 1969, the area behind the dam flooded quicker than anticipated thanks to heavy rainfall in the area resulting in a stronger discharge from the two major springs flowing into the dam and discharge from several perennial springs around the dam. The quicker flooding meant the area couldn't be cleared properly before the reservoir filled up, resulting in structures such as an old road, telephone poles and the old farm house structure being flooded and remain in the reservoir till this day. Fauna Indigenous fish species in the dam include Sharptooth Catfish (clarias gariepinus), Orange River Mudfish (labeo capensis), Moggel (labeo umbratus), Banded Tilapia (tilapia sparrmanii), Southern Mouthbrooder ( pseudocrenilabrus philander), Three spot Barb (enteromius trimaculatus), Chubbyhead Barb (enteromius anoplus), Straight-fin Barb (enteromius paludinosus) and Smallmouth Yellowfish (labeobarbus aeneus) and species introduced include Common Carp (cyprinus carpio), Largemouth Bass (micropterus dolomieu), Swordtail (Xiphophorus hellerii) and Western Mosquitofish (gambusia affinis). 236 grassland and wetland birds can be seen in the area. African Fish Eagle and Martial Eagle are residents at the dam and its surrounding area as well as Cape Clawless Otters, Warthog, Common Duiker, Steenbok, Caracal, Black backed Jackal, Cape Fox, Cape Porcupine, Honey Badger, Aardvark, Aardwolf, Cape Pangolin, African Hedgehog and Striped Polecat. Nile and Rock Monitor lizards, African Rock Python, African Bullfrog can also be seen around the dam. Flora The dam is completely surrounded with reeds (Phragmites mauritianus) with the exception of 5 or 6 narrow openings only wide enough to launch a boat. The dam also has dense patches of Potamogeton pectinatus, Lagarosiphon verticilifolia, Lagarosiphon major, Hydrilla verticillata, Elodea canadensis, Myriophyllum spicatum. The area surrounding the dam is typical Highveld grassland with scattered acacia trees (Vachellia karroo), commonly known as the Sweet thorn and Haak-en-steek (Acacia tortilis) Geography The dam is surrounded by at least 7 karst springs of which only 2 have a permanent flow throughout the year, the others are false eyes, only flowing in summer after the rains. The main eye is known as Bovenste Oog which draws water from the Turffontein compartment. Uses Angling The dam is very popular amongst bass anglers with boats or inflatables. As most anglers only target bass at the dam, the carp and catfish have grown to massive sizes. Irrigation The dam wall has a valve connecting the reservoir to an irrigation canal for farms downstream of the dam.

Knellpoort Dam

Knellpoort Dam is a combined gravity & arch type dam located on the Riet Spruit, near Wepener, Free State, South Africa. It was established in 1989. Due to siltation, the storage capacity of the Welbedacht Dam reduced rapidly from the original 115 million m3 to approximately 16 million m3 during the twenty years since completion. This reduction in storage created problems in meeting the Bloemfontein water demand at an acceptable level of reliability and as a result, the 50 m high Knellpoort Dam was completed in 1989. It was the first arch gravity roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam in the world and comprises almost 64 600 m3 rollcrete and 14 200 m3 concrete with a gross storage capacity of 136 million m3. In order to prevent similar siltation problems to those experienced at the Welbedacht Dam, the Knellpoort Dam functions as an off-channel storage dam with a relatively small catchment area of only 764 km2 and corresponding Mean Annual Runoff (MAR) of approximately 20 million m3/a . Water from the Caledon River is pumped to Knellpoort Dam from the Tienfontein Pumping Station via a 2 km long canal which is equipped with a silt trap to reduce siltation in the main reservoir. The dams primary purpose is to serve for municipal and industrial use and its hazard potential has been ranked high (3).

Komati Power Station

Komati Power Station, is a coal-fired power plant operated by Eskom. Its 300-metre-tall (980 ft) chimney was built in 1979, and is one of the tallest structures in the country. Komati is one of power stations with a common steam range, meaning that its nine boilers jointly feed the nine generators. Other stations are Tutuka Power Station and Matimba Power Station. History The first unit was commissioned in 1961 and the last in 1966. In 1988, three units at Komati were mothballed, one was kept in reserve and the other five were only operated during peak hours. In 1990, the complete station was mothballed until 2008 when the unit 9 was the first to be recommissioned under Eskom's return-to-service project. The full station was put online in 2011. It was finally decommissioned on 31 October 2022. The decommissioning was supported by the World Bank as part of the Eskom Just Energy Transition Project, alongside a package of international support for decarbonization in South Africa known as the South Africa Just Energy Transition Investment Plan. Power generation The station consists of a total of 9 units having five 100 MW units on the East (1–5) and four 125 MW units on the West (6–9), with a total installed capacity of 1,000 MW. Turbine Maximum Continuous Rating is 30.00%. See also Eskom Fossil-fuel power plant List of power stations in South Africa References External links Komati Power Station on the Eskom-Website
ТЕС Коматі

ТЕС Коматі — теплова електростанція на північному сході Південно-Африканської Республіки, розташована за 120 км на схід від Преторії в провінції Мпумаланга (варто відзначити, що саме у цій адміністративній одиниці зосереджена абсолютна більшість електростанцій країни, призначених для роботи у базовому режимі). Будівельні роботи на майданчику станції розпочались в 1958-му, а введення блоків в експлуатацію припало на період між 1961 та 1966 роками. ТЕС належить до конденсаційних станцій та складається з обладнаних паровими турбінами дев'яти енергоблоків, перші п'ять з яких мають потужність по 100 МВт, а наступні чотири по 125 МВт. Втім можна відзначити, що при загальній потужності у 1000 МВт станція видає в мережу загального користування лише 961 МВт, споживаючи різницю на роботу власного обладнання. Видалення продуктів згоряння первісно відбувалось за допомогою двох димарів, на заміну яким у 1979-му спорудили одну нову, вищу споруду, що сягає 300 метрів. Функцію охолодження забезпечують вісім градирень висотою по 90 метрів та діаметром основи 60 метрів. Забір води для них відбувається біля спорудженої на Коматі греблі Нойтгедахт від якої насосна станція подає ресурс до створеного у Klipfontein проміжного резервуара, звідки вода самоплином тече на відстань майже 65 км. Станція використовує в роботі вугілля розташованих неподалік копалень Koornfontein та Blinkpan. Подрібнена продукція першої змішується з водою та транспортується трубопроводом до другого підприємства, де зневоднюється та разом з вугіллям Blinkpan подається на головний конвеєр довжиною близько 0,5 км. Останній постачає паливо до розташованих на ТЕС двох складів ємністю 48 тисяч тонн. Паливна ефективність станції становить 30 %. У 1987—1990 роках на тлі перевиробництва електроенергії ця вже доволі стара на той час станція була законсервована. Подальше зростання попиту призвело до повернення ТЕС в експлуатацію у 2008—2012 роках. Примітки

Kriel Power Station

Kriel Power Station in Mpumalanga, South Africa, is a coal-fired power plant operated by Eskom. It is located about 4 km from Matla Power Station just outside the town of Kriel (Emalahleni Local Municipality, Mpumalanga). In contrast with most other Eskom power stations, the turbine generators at Kriel are each housed in a separate building rather than the more common single turbine hall. When Kriel was completed in 1979 it was the largest coal-fired power station in the Southern Hemisphere. It was also one of the first stations to be supplied with coal from a fully mechanised coal mine. History On 25 July 2022, the entire power station tripped. Eskom said the first fault caused units 1, 2 and 3 of the power station to trip, while the second fault tripped units 4 and 5. Unit 6 was already offline. Power generation The station has six 500 MW units for a total installed capacity of 3,000 MW with turbine Maximum Continuous Rating at 36.90%.
