Tashlyk Pumped-Storage Power Plant

Tashlyk Pumped-Storage Power Plant (Ukrainian: Ташлицька гідроакумулювальна електростанція) is a pumped-storage power station located near Yuzhnoukrainsk (Mykolaiv Oblast, Ukraine), connects Tashlyk reservoir with Oleksandrivka reservoir on the Southern Bug River.

The site of the Tashlyk Hydraulic Accumulation Station is located west of the district center of Arbuzynka, three kilometers south of Yuzhnoukrainsk.

Info

The TPSPP is designed to cover peak loads in the southwestern part of the united power grid of Ukraine, as well as to provide a reliable baseline regime for the South-Ukrainian NPP.

The station is part of the South-Ukrainian Energy Complex, which also includes the South-Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant and Oleksandrivska hydroelectric power station.

The construction of the station began in 1981. According to the initial project, the Tashlyk HPSP was supposed to consist of six rotary (generator / engine) units of 150 MW in a turbine mode / 225 in pumping mode and four conventional 250 MW units with a total installed capacity of 6 × 150 + 4 × 250 = 1900 MW (generator mode) / 6 × 225 = 1350 MW (motor mode). In the complex with the HPSS above the channel of the Southern Bug, the Kostyantynivska HPP was to be built, but after the protests of environmentalists, the project was redeveloped.

By the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of July 27, 2006, the project provides only Tashlyk HPSP with installation of six units of 151 / 216.5 MW with a total capacity of 906 MW in turbine mode and 1299 MW in the pump.[1]

The first hydropower unit of Tashlyk HPS was launched on September 14, 2006 in pumping (engine) mode and the gradual filling of the reservoir of the PSP began, and on October 16, 2006 it was started in the generator (turbine) mode. The second hydropower unit of Tashlyk HPS was launched on July 21, 2007 in the generator (turbine) mode, and July 24 - in the engine (pumping mode).

The commissioning of the third hydroelectric unit was scheduled for 2011.
