| The Bratsk hydropower station is located on the Angara River in Siberia, it supplies the city of Bratsk and its giant aluminum smelter with electric power.
When completed in 1961 after 7 years of construction, the Bratsk hydropower plant with its total output of 4,100 MW was the largest hydropower station in the world. Today, it still ranks among the largest and most important hydropower stations in Russia.
In January 2001 Voith Hydro was awarded to modernize the first two governors of Bratsk and nine months later, the first governor was commissioned. Orders to deliver and commission new governors, adapt control valves and equipment for oil purification for additional units have followed.
To date, eight of 18 units have been equipped with Voith Hydro technology and are operating successfully. |
