Description
The total capacity of the stations is 3,985 MW, and the average annual generation of primary electricity is 10,093 billion kWh. All power plants are owned by JSC Ukrhydroenergo .
The cascade includes the following power plants:
- Kiev hydroelectric station ( Vyshhorod ),
- Kiev PSP ,
- Kanevskaya hydroelectric power station ( Kanev city),
- Kanevskaya PSPP (under construction)
- Kremenchug hydroelectric station ( Svetlovodsk city),
- Srednedneprovskaya hydroelectric power station ( Kamenskoye city),
- Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station ( Zaporizhzhya ),
- Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station ( Novaya Kakhovka ),
- Kakhovskaya HES-2 (under construction).
The largest among them is the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station with a capacity of 1,569 MW.
- The total area of reservoirs is 6950 km²;
- The total volume of accumulated water is 43.8 km³.
Reservoirs :
- Kiev reservoir ,
- Kanevsky reservoir ,
- Kremenchug reservoir
- Kamenskoe reservoir
- Dnieper reservoir
- Kakhovskoe reservoir .
Construction History
The total length of the Dnieper is 2201 km. Of the total length of the Dnieper river bed 981 km [2] , which flows through the territory of Ukraine, 100 km remained in its natural state [3] . The rest are regulated by a cascade of Dnieper reservoirs: Kiev , Kanevsky , Kremenchug , Kamensky , Dneprovsky , Kakhovsky with a total water area of 6,950 km² and a total volume of 43.8 km³ of water, which respectively makes up 94.7 and 90.8% of the total large reservoirs of Ukraine [3] .
Massive design and practical construction work on the Dnieper began in 1928, after the start of the construction of the Dnieper hydroelectric station , and with it a whole series of hydroelectric facilities. This work of thousands of designers and builders ended in 1980. During this time, the Dnieper River from the state border with the Republic of Belarus to Kakhovka was turned into a cascade of reservoirs.
The most famous is the Dnieper hydroelectric station in Zaporozhye , was built in 1927-1932 and had a capacity of 558 MW. During World War II, the Dnieper hydroelectric station was partially destroyed, and by 1950 it was restored. In 1969-1975, the second stage of the station was introduced - DneproGES-2.
The Kakhovskaya hydroelectric station was built the second - in 1950-1956, followed by the Kremenchug - in 1954-1960, the Dneprodzerzhinsk (Srednedneprovskaya) - in 1956-1964, the Kiev - in 1960-1968, and in 1964-1975 the Kanevskaya hydroelectric station completed the Dnieper cascade of dams .
