Unit 2 of Novovoronezh Phase II has started pilot commercial operation

Voronezh region, June 5 - Neftegaz.RU. Unit 2 of Novovoronezh Phase II with a Generation III+ reactor has started the stage of pilot commercial operation (PCO). The plant is a branch of the Rosenergoatom Concern which is part of Power Division of Rosatom.

PCO is part of the set of activities to put the plant in operation. It consists of 4 sub-stages: operation at 50% power capacity, operation at 75% of power capacity, operation at nominal power (includes stages of operation at 90% and 100% levels) as well as comprehensive testing of the equipment (commissioning trials) of the power unit and its acceptance for operation.

Unit 2 of Novovoronezh Phase II was 1st connected to the grid (1st power) on May 1, 2019. Unit 2 received the commissioning permit for PCO from Rostechnadzor on May 3, 2019. This was followed by equipment testing in different modes and bringing the unit to 50% power.

The PCO stage will end after successful testing at all power levels, including the nominal power (100%) and completion of all commissioning trials of the power unit.

This will be followed by an inspection of Rostechnadzor of the completed power unit for the design conformance and by issue of the corresponding statement. Unit 2 is expected to be put in commercial operation late 2019.
