DnieproGES (22 pics + text)
Dnieper, Dnipro hydroelectric power plant - the fifth, the oldest, the stage of the cascade hydropower stations on the Dnieper River. The power plant is located in the city of Zaporozhye.
& quot; ... Dnepr 100 kilometer stretch from Dnepropetrovsk to Zaporozhye crosses the rocky ridge. Over the centuries, the great river rushing here between sheer cliffs, forming a terrible Dnieper rapids, and only in the 20th century, people have managed to conquer the river. In the years 1927-1932 over the island Khortytsya Dnieper dam was built - the first hydroelectric power plant in our country of such magnitude. Dnipro rapids, over the centuries delivshie Dnepr into two unconnected parts disappeared forever.
Before the river is flowing between steep banks, so, despite the fact that after the construction of the dam water level rose by 39 meters, the spill has occurred. But the latent power of the river when the boat approaches the top DnieproGES felt: the depth is reached at times 50 m ... & quot ;.
Construction of hydroelectric power station started in 1927, the first unit was launched in 1932 and in 1939 reached the design capacity of 560 MW. At that time it was the largest hydroelectric power plant of the USSR.
During the Great Patriotic War Dniproges dam was destroyed, and destroyed the computer room equipment.
& quot; ... in August 1941. German troops occupied the right bank of the Dnieper and the island Khortytsya, eager to Zaporozhye, which at that time was the evacuation of factories. To prevent the enemy to the city, the Soviet command decided August 18 to blow up the roadway near the right bank of the dam and the bridge across the New Dnieper. A huge wave carried the German crossing. Unfortunately, in the flooded area of the island Khortitsa was a significant number of Soviet soldiers who did not have time to cross to the left bank, they were also demolished water .... & quot ;.
In preparation for the retreat from Zaporozhye, the Germans had mined the dam and hydroelectric power plant. Thanks to the scouts, headed by Nikolai Kuruzovym, mutilated dam was rescued, but the hydroelectric power plant, dam and roadway avankamerny bridge had been blown up on Dec. 29, 1943. Restoration began with the laying of the Dnieper between bulls hanging bridges destroyed.
During the years 1944-1945 was rebuilt bridge across the gateway. In the summer of 1945. in its pre-war form it was restored avankamerny bridge. Already on March 3, 1947. hydroelectric power gave the first industrial current. June 26, 1950. was put into operation last unit resurrected Dnieper.

In the late 1960s on the agenda was the question of increasing the power of the Dnieper hydropower capacity gateway and its roadway dam. The reconstruction of the Dnieper, which took place from 1969 to 1980. During the reconstruction of the left bank it was built a computer room, which was established eight units with a capacity of 103, 5 thous. KW each, single chamber gateway capable of passing vessels of "river-sea". It was rebuilt and greatly expanded the roadway of the dam, which is connected with the left bank trestle bridge, and on the right bank - the new bridge avankamerny.

5. Chambers old three-chamber lock. After the construction of the second stage in Dniproges new camera gateway (such as mine), they were withdrawn from work. Currently tested reconstruction and possible in a short time they will be put again in ekspuatatsiyu. With the fall of the amount of cargo on the Dnieper it would be advantageous to pass judgment here than in the new chamber.
