ZANGILAN, Azerbaijan, October 7. “Sarigishlag”
Hydroelectric Power Station (HEPS) is one of four hydroelectric
power stations in Zangilan cycle, built by the cascade method on
the Okhchuchay river, Director of Green energy LLC under
Azerbaijan's Azerenerji OJSC Ramiz Valiyev told reporters, Trend reports.
According to him, all work at the Sarygyshlag hydroelectric
power station, built in accordance with the concept of a green
energy zone, from the installation of diversion pipes, laying the
foundation to the construction of a turbine room, installation of
an open distributor, was carried out in full compliance with
regulatory rules.
He pointed out that they've put down diversion pipes to make
sure the water flows back to the river without a hitch, allowing 35
percent of the water from the main intake to stay put in the
riverbed, safeguarding the local plants and creatures.
"The machine hall features two eco-turbines that can
autonomously deactivate when river water levels decrease, so
ensuring that the station maintains double the volume of water in
the Okhchuchay river compared to the ecological flow.
A 110 kV outdoor switchgear has been established at the
hydroelectric power plant, serving the“Sarigishlag” HEPS and
enabling the transmission of“green energy” generated by the
“Shayifli” HEPS. Both the substation and the hydroelectric power
station incorporate digital equipment and an automated control
system.
The“Sarigishlag” HEPS is projected to produce up to 33 million
kilowatt-hours of energy per year, yielding savings of 7.4 million
cubic meters of gas and averting the release of 13,000 tons of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere," he added.
To note, the 42-megawatt Zangilan cycle, made up of four
hydroelectric power stations, including the "Sarigishlag" HEPS,
stands tall as the largest cascade of power stations set up in the
liberated territories.
The newly constructed cascade-type stations, designed by local
experts, function at over 70 percent of their installed capacity. A
portion of the energy generated here is utilized for internal
requirements, while the remainder is distributed to the national
energy grid. This bolsters the region's energy autonomy and aids in
environmental conservation.
