Complete failure: how did the Siemens "turbo" end in the Crimea

16
The construction of the Sevastopol and Simferopol thermal power plants is entering the final stretch. Already in the early summer of this year, four power units will be commissioned, which will mark the decline of the “era of energy deficit” in the Crimea.

The "hearts" of both TPPs are high-power turbines of the German company Siemens. Many believed that the start of the supply of these units on the peninsula "turbo", will lead to new sanctions against Russia and the departure of the German giant from the Russian market. But after losing all possible courts, Siemens did not just not leave, but signed new multi-billion contracts for the supply of turbines for thermal power plants throughout Russia.

Anyway, our country has learned a lesson from all this stories. As previously reported, Saturn United Engine Corporation is completing testing of a gas turbine unit with a capacity of 110 MW. This means that sooner or later Russia will replace the import of high-capacity gas turbines with its own domestic products.

        But the Germans did well not afraid of sanctions, business is business. good But all the same, there is something of its own, it is necessary to achieve complete import substitution in all areas of production. Yes

          how will a total import substitution be achieved with a population of 140 million? I think it’s better to establish something of their own, but in such volumes that the minimum cost, and conquer the world

          A bearded joke inspired by:
          Dmitry, if you had to endure sexual abstinence for a year, what would you prefer after: to sleep once with Masha or twice with Pasha?
          Dmitry: Well, of course, Masha is Masha, but on the other hand two times it’s still two times ...

          It will not work in all, some things, not massive, are cheaper to buy than to build production. These same turbines of high power, are they often needed? I don’t think ... We’ll build a factory, and he will make a batch and will stand idle ...

            Can you attach them to ships?

                In order not to stop the plant, releasing a batch of turbines for thermal power plants. Moreover, we still have a problem with providing ships under construction with engines.

                  I am not an expert, but I think that a turbine for large power plants and ship propulsion systems are different technologies ...

                    To make different sizes and capacities, but so that the technology is worked out and the production is not idle. And I, too, have never been an expert, so I’m interested in trying to figure out if they are interchangeable, whether they are suitable for ships.

      From the very beginning of this "history" it was clear that nothing would end.
      The market is narrow, the competition is fierce.
      Siemens simply showed that intelligent people work there.
      And all request

        Did Siemens have a choice?
        As a scenario, described by Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin:
        [quote] For a long time by the sea he was waiting for an answer,
        I didn’t wait, I turned back to the old woman -
        Look: again, before him is a dugout;
        On the threshold sits his old woman,
        And before her a broken trough. [/ Quote]

      1882 — 1883: Construction of cable and electrical plants in St. Petersburg.
      1924 — 1926: Construction of a power plant on the Kura River.
      1925 — 1936: Siemens Advisory Bureau in Moscow

      1982: Complete medical equipment of the All-Union Cardiology Center in Moscow.
      1991: First joint venture with Russian partners.

      Gentlemen, the Germans pretended that they resisted, ours fought, and there wasn’t much noise! But to us and that bell.
