Turbine rotor installation
Turbine rotor installation. This low-pressure steam turbine is being installed in a power station. The pressure from steam passing through the turbine causes the turbine to rotate. Combined with magnets, this rotation generates electricity. Weighing 75 tons, this turbine rotor is part of the new power unit at TGK-1s Southern Thermal Power Station, St Petersburg, Russia. TGK-1 (also called TGC-1) is a Russian power generating company. Photographed in 2010

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of turbine rotor installation at TGK-1's Southern Thermal Power Station in St Petersburg, Russia. The image captures a moment of technological marvel as a massive low-pressure steam turbine is carefully positioned within the power station. Weighing an astonishing 75 tons, this colossal rotor plays a vital role in electricity generation. As steam flows through the turbine, its pressure causes the rotor to rotate with impressive force and precision. But it doesn't stop there - combined with strategically placed magnets, this rotation harnesses the power of electromagnetism to generate electricity on an immense scale. The sheer size and complexity of this machine exemplify the advancements made in industrial technology during the 21st century. Every component, from the heavy metal shaft to the magnetic elements, works harmoniously to produce electric energy that fuels countless homes and industries across Europe. Photographed in 2010 by Science Photo Library, this awe-inspiring image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of efficient energy solutions. It offers us a glimpse into one small part of TGK-1's operations while reminding us of how crucial these power generating companies are for society's progress.
