Given LUKOIL Group’s business geography and its RES potential, the cost parameters and equipment integrity, hydraulic power engineering and wind power engineering, as well as photovoltaics and geothermal power engineering will be considered high priority trends in the development of the Company’s renewable energy resources. Hydraulic power engineering is the most utilized trend in the area of renewable power generation, both in Russia and within the Company. Russian manufacturers that produce the necessary equipment, design organizations and vast experience have made it possible. As part of the consistent reformation of Russia’s power engineering system, 4 hydroelectric power stations were handed over to OOO LUKOIL-Energo in 2010. The total capacity of the plant as of December 31, 2013 is 297.8 MW. Operations are being conducted to improve the performance results of the hydroelectric power station. Various options for the reconstruction, modernization and expansion of the available generation assets are being considered. Tsimlyanskaya Hydroelectric Power Station The Tsimlyanskaya hydroelectric power station was constructed between 1949 and 1952. It was commissioned in July, 1952. It belongs to the group of medium-head hydroelectric power stations of the run-of-river type. 2012 witnessed completed reconstruction of station hydraulic unit No. 4 resulting in capacity increase up to 52.5 MW. Thus, the rated capacity of the Tsimlyanskaya hydroelectric power station as of January 01, 2013 is 211.5 MW. Krasnopolyanskaya Hydroelectric Power Station Construction of the Krasnopolyanskaya hydroelectric power station was lauched in 1947 and completed in 1950. The building plan of the hydroelectric power station is based on the diversion principle. The power station is located at the Mzymta river in the Krasnaya Polyana settlement, Adler district, Sochi. It supplies power to the Sochi power district and has a rated capacity of 28.9 MW. Its facilities are located along the motor and railway leading to the Olympic facilities of the Mountain Cluster. In 2013 OOO LUKOIL-Ekoenergo implemented a project titled “Integrated Automation of Engineering Processes”. As part of this project a number of measures were implemented; specifically, a full-fledged Automated Engineering Process Control System (AEPCS) was introduced to the Krasnopolyanskaya hydroelectric power station. Furthermore, the hydraulic turbine control systems were upgraded, generator excitation systems were replaced, 6-kW generator curcuit-breakers were replaced, the buildings and facilities were adjusted to the corporate style, etc. Implementation of the above measures helped the Company fully automate its electric power generating processes, enhance the economic efficiency of the key process and electric equipment, cut power generation, repair and maintenance costs, and optimize its personnel. Introduction of the full-fledged AEPCS to the Krasnopolyanskaya hydroelectric power station constitutes a unique project, which was implemented in record-breaking time simultaneously with construction of the Olympic facilities amid tightened security. The unique character of this project manifests itself in the fact that all of the operations were conducted with the while the generating equipment was in operation. The Company efficiently worked around the clock with contractor organizations and promptly made key decisions at all corporate management levels. Belorechenskaya Hydroelectric Power Station The Belorechenskaya hydroelectric power station was commissioned in September, 1954. The construction plan of the power station is based on the diversion principle, making use of the altitude difference between the Belaya and Pshish rivers. The said power station is the largest hydroelectric power station of the Krasnodar Krai. Its rated capacity is 48 MW. Maykopskaya Hydroelectric Power Station The Maykopskaya hydroelectric power station was commissioned in December, 1950. Its building plans are also based on the diversion principle. It is the largest hydroelectric power station of Adygea. The rated capacity of the Maykopskaya hydroelectric power station is 9.4 MW. Krasnopolyanskaya hydroelectric power station Tsimlyanskaya hydroelectric power station Wind power engineering is based on converting the kinetic energy of the air masses into electric or any other form of energy, which can be efficiently utilized for the benefit of the national economy. The energy of the air masses is transformed into electric power by means of wind turbines. OAO LUKOIL is developing the wind power engineering sector in cooperation with ERG Renew, which ranks among the top ten European wind power generating companies. A LUKERG Renew Joint Venture Establishment Agreement was signed in May 2011. A 40-MW Cherga operating wind power station was acquired in Bulgaria in June, 2012. The wind power station comprises 20 wind turbines, which were commissioned in 2009. In September, 2013, the LUKERG Renew Joint Venture acquired two operating wind power stations, a 14-MW Hrabrovo station in Bulgaria and a 70-MW Gebeleisis station in Romania. In 2013, LUKERG Renew started construction of the Land Power wind power station in southeast Romania, with a total rated capacity of 84 MW. The wind power plant was commissioned in 2014, while the total capacity of the wind power stations owned by the LUKERG Renew joint venture came to 208 MW. Photovoltaics is based on immediate utilization of solar radiance for power generation. Solar energy is an unexpendable source of energy, which is eco-friendly and generates zero hazardous waste. The Company has implemented a number of practical steps to bring about a number of photovoltaic projects. Two 4-kW photovoltaic power plants were installed in 2009 at the Company’s filling station located in Serbia. September 2009 also witnessed the commissioning of the Company’s first filling station equipped with a photovoltaic power plant located in Krasnaya Polyana settlement (Sochi). The PPP photovoltaic modules with a total capacity of 10 kW are installed on the canopy of the filling station and intended for power supply. In December of 2011, LUKOIL Energy & Gas Bulgaria commissioned a 1.25 MW PPP. The PPP is located at the TPP sites of LUKOIL Energy & Gas Bulgaria that are not involved in the manufacturing process. The electric power generated by the PPP is supplied to the power grid and is paid for based on preferential tariff. The 2014 actual generation volume by the PPP came to 1.39 million kWh. S.C. LUKOIL Energy & Gas Romania S.R.L. commissioned a 9-MW photovoltaic power plant in Q2 2014. The PPP is located at the refinery sites of S.C. Petrotel-LUKOIL S.A. that are not involved in the manufacturing process. The electric power generated by the PPP is supplied to the power grid and is paid for under the special plan to support the RES projects. All generated electric power is sold based on general terms. Besides, “green certificates” realized at the specialized market are issued, which, consequently, results in a significant enhancement of economic efficiency. The planned yearly PPP generation volume comes to 11.9 million kWh. In February, 2012, OOO LUKOIL-Uralnefteprodukt implemented a solar collector utilization project at the Orenburg refinery. A solar collector was installed at the refinery for heating and hot water supply. The practical experience has proved that the solar collector utilization in the winter period characterized by below freezing outdoor temperatures for heating is possible and efficient; as for the summer period, it is possible to nearly abandon the practice of electric water heating. A similar project was implemented in 2013 in Volgograd. Solar collectors were installed at an OOO LUKOIL-Nizhnevolzhsknefteprodukt filling station for hot water supply, which will considerably reduce the scope of electric water heating. Low Grade Heat Sources At the LUKOIL Group’s plants, positive experience in using heat pumps for the heat supply and conditioning of autonomous industrial facilities, has been accumulated. The heat pump utilization geography is practically unlimited, since soil, water and surrounding air, as well as the secondary heating resources generated as a result of production activities can be used as a source of low potential thermal power. The heating systems based on heat pumps are efficient, they do not emit harmful substances, are very safe and reliable, and have a long service life (15 – 20 years), an automated control system and do not require great operating expenses. Utilization of heat pumps results in generation of around 3-4 kW of thermal power per 1 kW of spent electric power. Filling stations are considered the most promising facilities in terms of the assembly of heat pumps. The fact is that the use of gas heating systems at filling stations is prohibited for fire safety reasons, while centralized heating may be unavailable due to the remoteness of filling stations from residential areas. For this reason, filling stations often utilize economically unsound electric heating systems due to high electric power rates. LUKOIL’s first heat pump project was implemented in May 2010 by LUKOIL-Baltija R. The filling station located along the Riga-Brotseny highway (Latvia) was equipped with a 12 kW heat pump system (with a vertical suction dredge collector) for hot water supply, heating and air conditioning of the filling station. That very year saw implementation of the second Russian project in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. A 32 kW heat pump equipped with a horizontal suction dredge collector was assembled for heating and air conditioning of the filling station owned by OOO LUKOIL-Volganefteprodukt. A 14.8 kW water-air heat pump was assembled at the filling station owned by OOO LUKOIL-Yugnefteprodukt (at a 20-km distance from Anapa) in July 2011. In the same year, the Company installed 19 kW geothermal heat pumps at two filling stations owned by OOO LUKOIL-Uralnefterpodukt in the Republic of Bashkortostan. Later, a number of similar projects was implemented. Air heat pump at LUKOIL-Yugnefteprodukt filling station Heat pump with a horizontal ground collector at LUKOIL-Volganefteprodukt The success proves the huge heat pump utilization potential at the filling stations and bulk plants owned by the Company, therefore the Company’s experts plan to continue introducing heat pumps.
