Rosseti FGC UES to augment power output for Russian Railways to amplify throughput capacity in Lower Volga Region

03/22/2022

Rosseti FGC UES (FGC UES PJSC) has expanded the Liteynaya 220 kV substation in the Volgograd Region to connect the 110 kV line being built by Russian Railways. This will provide energy for the new traction station of the Privolzhskaya Railroad, through which two transport corridors pass: North - South and Kuzbass - Azov & Black Sea Basin Ports.

The capacity of the 108-km Petrov Val - Karamysh railway section will increase from 83 to 137 train-pairs per day, and the weight of the trains will go from 5,200 tons to 12,000 tons.

This section is now powered by two substations of Rosseti FGC UES: 220 kV Petrov Val and Talovka. The project will grow the output of power for railway facilities up to 71 MW.

At the Liteinaya substation, a new 110 kV feeder was installed, fitted with modern equipment: circuit breakers, disconnectors, instrument current transformers, and highly reliable relay protection devices. For its part, Russian Railways is commissioning the Ovrazhnaya traction station, which will be fed from the Liteynaya substation via a new power line (57.5 km).

The expansion of railway infrastructure is closely linked to the development of the power grid. There is a cooperation agreement between Russian Railways and the Rosseti Group, which provides for coordination of activities. The largest project is related to increasing the capacity of the Baikal-Amur Mainline and the Trans-Siberian Railroad. To this end, several major grid facilities have already been built: for example, in 2021, Rosseti Group commissioned a 250-km power transit line in Primorie, with the starts coming soon in Siberia and the Far East.
