The Center for Hydrogen Technology is a new line of business for Power Machines, established to master technologies for storing, transporting, producing, and consuming hydrogen. The company is researching technologies that can create plants in the fields of electrolysis, hydrogen storage systems, steam reformation, and pyrolysis. The ultimate goal is to become a supplier that offers a full range of engineering solutions for hydrogen production and consumption.
The company is implementing the project with support from the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation to ensure energy and technological independence for the state. To implement this task, the design bureau was re-established; at present, the prototype gas turbine units GTE- F-class and GTE- E-class are in production. The company is also developing hydrogen energy technologies and is working on the creation of a gas turbine capable of operating on methane-hydrogen mixtures.
Based on its experience creating heavy-duty full-speed steam turbines and achieving advanced scientific achievements, Power Machines developed and manufactured the first half-speed turbine unit in Russia with a capacity of MW. Today the half-speed turbine is considered one of the most promising in the world – the main assembly characteristics will allow future machines to be created based on its design, the use of which will be possible in a turbine plant with a unit capacity in the range of - MW.
Power Machines manufactured and delivered the main power equipment to restore the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP - ten hydraulic turbines with hydro generators with a capacity of MW each and excitation systems for them. Currently, the largest hydroelectric power plant in the country is equipped with new, modern equipment with improved performance and meeting all the requirements for reliability and safety. The service life of new units has been increased to years, while the maximum efficiency of the hydraulic turbine is .%. Particular attention is paid to the safety of new equipment operation.
