Kanev HES ( hydroelectric ).

Kaniv HPP began in 1964 , in honor of the 150th anniversary of Taras Shevchenko. The first six units of the station to take effect November 1, 1972 , and the 24th unit - in 1975. Kanev hydroelectric power is 444 MW. True, by analogy with its prototype - the Kiev HES is also scheduled to make their Kanevsky PSP .But work was suspended at the outset , therefore plans remained plans. On the unrealized project now resembles a model , carefully stored in the Museum of hydroelectric power.Although in fairness it should be noted that the chronic shortage of peak capacity and reserves of the national power grid on the idea of ​​building Kanevsky PSP remembered more often.

 

The structure of buildings Kanev hydroelectric include: building hydroelectric power stations, shipping complex of buildings , earth dams, protective structures of the right bank .

 

Concrete construction waterworks at the right bank. The length of the room HPP - 343 m , width - 57 m, height - 39.5 m

 

Gateway - a single-chamber , chamber length - 210 meters, width - 18 meters. There is room automatic locking. Filled and emptied chamber for 15 min. and allows the passage of the massive vessels river-sea class .

 

With the creation of reservoirs cascade solved the problem of water supply to population, industry and agriculture , the increase in water consumption and its distribution more uniform throughout the year , as 70 % of the runoff of the Dnieper around the time of spring tide.
