Software CEA sees to Engineering Savings on The RTS Teryoshkovo Power Project

January 9 2004--Founded in 1922, Mosenergoproekt is a multi-purpose institute, which develops the designs for new construction, reconstruction and technological re-equipment of power stations, heat supply networks, indoor and outdoor substations, cable and aerial transmission lines, communication and telemetry systems, as well as future development schemes for heat and power supply systems for Moscow city and other regions of Russia.

For the purpose of introduction of the advanced world technology developments, Mosenergoproekt has extended its international cooperation with the leading foreign firms. Among them FICHTNER (Germany), ENEL (Italy), KEMA (The Netherlands), ABB (Finland), HALDOR TOPSOE (Denmark), NOKIA (Finland), SIEMENS (Germany), ALFA-LAVAL (Sweden) and others.

During the last years the Institute's activities are aimed at introducing gas turbine and steam-gas technology as the most efficient and ecologically safe one.

To increase labor productivity, to provide multi-visional design approach, to improve documentation quality, to reduce design process periods and to use wide unification and typification, provision is made in Mosenergoproekt since 2001 within the frames CAD system development for introduction of a complex system of computer-aided 3D design of power facilities.

In Mosenergoproekt is used an easy CAD solution based on plant design system Plant-4D, Consistent Software solutions and AutoDesk technologies which offers a complete set of software tools for design and modeling power plants.

RTS "Teryoshkovo with GTU" (regional power plant with gas turbine) - is the first project, for which a 3D computer-aided design system was used. This power plant with gas turbine, is located in Solntsevo region of Moscow city and is formed from 6 blocks with total dimension in plan equal to 271.5 x 30 meters.

Especially for Mosenergoproekt needs has been developed an extensive library of piping and equipment components for power plant design. The unification and typification of used details in the projects increases the productivity of designers. For the purpose of decreasing the errors on pipe tracing and collisions of pipe systems is used the clashing module developed by CEA Technology, which can detect, review and manage the component interferences in 3D models.

The entire project documents like schematics, drawings and bill of materials. Report forms are produced automatically based on the model. This approach improves the quality, because the technical documentation is produced consistently and correctly.
