ABOUT COMPANY CONSTRUCTION EXPLOITATION INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS PURCHASING PRESS CENTER OPERATION - Production activities Production activity In November 2012, the hydroelectric units of the first stage of the Boguchanskaya HPP under station numbers 1, 2 and 3 with an aggregate design capacity of 999 MW were transferred to continuous industrial operation. JSC Boguchanskaya HPP received permission from the Yenisei Department of the Federal Service for Environmental, Technological and Nuclear Supervision (Rostekhnadzor) to allow power plants to operate. On December 1, 2012, the new Angarsk HPP began supplying electricity to the wholesale market. The acts of readiness of the hydroelectric units of the first stage of the BoHPP for commercial operation were signed after the completion of a full cycle of commissioning tests and comprehensive testing of the operation of equipment in the network under load. The tests began in September with the alternate setting of each of the units at idle speed. The unit testing program, which consisted of nineteen points, included high-voltage tests, short-circuit tests, drying units, measuring the electrical parameters of hydrogenerators, and ended by connecting to the network for 72 hours. The testing process was supervised by representatives of the equipment manufacturer (OJSC Power Machines), employees of Rostekhnadzor, specialists from the operational departments of OJSC Boguchanskaya HPP and installation organizations. The commissioning operations were carried out in accordance with the normative and technical documentation. Based on the results of the tests, all parameters of the equipment operation were recognized as meeting the requirements of reliability and safety. Obtaining permits for the commercial operation of three units allows the Boguchanskaya HPP to start supplying electricity to the wholesale market. Since 2011, JSC Boguchanskaya HPP has been a member of the Market Council non-commercial partnership and has the status of a wholesale market entity. This allows JSC Boguchanskaya HPP to conclude long-term bilateral agreements with large consumers and energy sales companies. Operating personnel By the time the first start-up complex is put into operation, the number of operating personnel will be 303 people. When applying for a job in the Company, the most demanded specialties are: "Hydroelectricity", "Electric power systems and networks", "Power plants", "Energy, power engineering and electrical engineering", "Automation of technological processes and production". When filling positions that do not require special training or work experience at hydroelectric power plants, priority is given to the company's employees, residents of the city of Kodinsk and Kezhemsky district. По состоянию на 1 октября 2012 года в ОАО Богучанская ГЭС работают свыше 1590 человек, в том числе более 300 человек – эксплуатационный персонал, набранный на конкурсной основе. Многие работники эксплуатационного персонала имеют опыт работы на Курейской, Саяно-Шушенской, Бурейской, Зейской, Усть-Хантайской и Красноярской ГЭС. Весь принятый эксплуатационный персонал прошел необходимые стажировки: 49 человек прошли подготовку на Волжской ГЭС, 22 человека - на Братской и Усть-Илимской ГЭС. Часть работников прошла профессиональную подготовку и стажировку в подрядных организациях, задействованных на монтаже основного технологического оборудования. Для постоянного совершенствования навыков персонала приобретен тренажерный стенд программно-технического комплекса автоматизированной системы управления технологическими процессами (ПТК АСУТП). На этом тренажере оперативный персонал ГЭС может имитировать различные режимы гидроагрегатов и постоянно совершенствовать навыки эксплуатации гидросилового оборудования станции. The simulator is designed to train operating personnel in servicing controllers, intelligent devices and network equipment devices, troubleshooting equipment of a software and hardware complex, as well as making adjustments to the software of controllers and process visualization systems. The stand is supposed to be used to test individual modules of control systems, to practice the skills of troubleshooting the equipment of the PTC APCS, and complete with a simulator of the software and hardware complex for automatic control of a separate hydraulic unit - to train operating personnel in the skills of controlling the unit modes.
