Powerplant data:
Number of Units: 10.
Turbine Type: Francis (16 blades).
Rated Power: 650 MW each one.
Rated Discharge per Unit: 358,5 m³/s.
Nominal Speed: 142,86 rpm.
Net Head: 194 m.
Operation Date: 1978.
Runner Weight: 156 ton.
Runner Diameter: 6,77 m.
One of the world's largest hydro-electric plants, this dam is 245 m (800 ft) high and stretches 1 km (0.6 miles) across the Yenisei river.
Opened in 1978, the station provides a quarter of RusHydro output and is a major power supplier to at least two smelters owned by United Company RUSAL, the world's largest aluminium producer.
The hydroelectric power station is located on the Yenisei River, near Sayanogorsk in Khakassia, Russia. Before the accident, it was the largest power plant in Russia and the sixth-largest hydroelectric plant in the world.
The accident:
ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL REPORT, DATED FIRST DAYS OF OCTOBER, THE COLLAPSE WAS DUE TO FATIGUE AND VIBRATION OF THE TURBINE.
At 08h 13m local time (00h 13m GMT) on 17 August 2009, the station suffered a catastrophic "pressure surge" in turbine known as a "waterhammer". The sudden water pressure surge resulted in the ejection of turbine 2 with all equipment, a total weight some 900 tons, from its seat.
Turbines 7 and 9 also suffered from severe damage, while the turbine room roof fell on and damaged turbines 3, 4 and 5. Turbine 6, which was in scheduled repair at the time of accident, received only minor damage as it was the only one of the station's 10 turbines that did not receive electrical damage due to shorting of transformers, and it will be restarted as soon as possible.
Water immediately flooded the engine and turbine rooms and caused a transformer explosion.
On 23 August 2009, authorities said 69 people were found dead while 6 people are still listed as missing. Efforts to pump flood water from the engine room and complete a search for the missing workmen are expected to take 3 to 8 days.
Consequences of the accident:
It will cost at least $310 million.
A long time to repair the damages.
The production of more than 500,000 tons of aluminum will be lost.
Oil slick is travelling down the river.
It is not clear how many people were potentially affected by the accident.
The plant satisfied 10% of Siberias energy needs.
Aluminum smelters consumed over 70% of the energy generated by the power plant.

Kudos to whoever took that video. No obsession with close ups. Can actually see more of the total damage
One of the biggest powerplants of this type is in Brazil (Itaipu Dam), in fact it has been the biggest in the world, since Three Gorges Dam started to operate. I've had the chance to visit it internally, it is mindblowing. And gave me the shivers just to imagine that monstruosity involved in an accident. Luckily it is maintained like a swiss clock by the engineers.
I never heard about this horrible accident. Thank you for putting this video together like this. The sounds and images together helped me imagine how eerie and horrific it must have been to be there. I'm going to go read about this tragedy now.
Apparently, the turbine that ran amok and started a chain-reaction of total destruction had been vibrating for 10 years. The guys operating the plant had "got used to it".
Thats basically slavs and big machinery
@@RetroAmateur1989 xd
ahh i see
source?
Terrible tragedy, even worse soundtrack!!
Haha! Something tells me that you dislike the music. Well, what can I do? Thanks for the visit!
+Antolín Martínez I think the soundtrack adds to the surrealness of the situation. the sounds are eerie and fit the visual parts well even though it is a tragic situation. please post more of these if possible.
@@antolintinez What can you do? YOu have a microphone I assume? Talk into it and tell what happened here. MAN!
If Yoko Ono did soundtracks
That is the most annoying audio I have ever heard in my life. WARNING: Turn off sound before watching!
I hit mute at the 37 second mark. And not a moment too soon.
@@slabriprock5329 You missed the toy train whistle and the sounds of Brian Eno taking a leak at roughly the 1 minute mark.
I guess I am just not "cultured" enough to hear a toy train whistle and a guy pissing and think "Wow that's my jam!"
Yo wtf even was that??!? Lolol
Wtf was that all about? Steal someone’s footage and add nothing but a lot of crap audio. Thankfully I’ve seen the original which is much more insightful. Don’t waste your time watching this.
I was on the last all gun steamship destroyer of the USS Hull Dd945 . Was the boiler technician would walk up to the force draft blower spinning at 10 RPMs and go oh shit .Never had a problem. We use to chain the Safety pressure relief valves on the 1200 lbs boilers for battle Speed . 🎉
It cost more than a billion USD to rebuild the plant. I don't know how but they managed to complete the work in just five years; I'd imagine that Gidromash had to cancel a lot of contracts just to be able to build all the machinery for that plant in time.
Super trippy music
Incredible. I've never heard of this MAJOR accident before. 75 people had drown or was killed by pieces of metal flying around as the spinning turbine was lifted. It was just 6 years ago and I can't remind if there was anything on the media or not but i do believe i'd remember something otherwise... strange. Was it silenced by ecologists who didn't want people to even associate water power plants with any accident or what?
Russia don’t let much slip, especially failings..!!
I can't believe I never heard of this
Nothing to see here - no value added - this was just a recycled from another video with an added soundtrack of horrible "music".
Brian Eno is known for CREATING a genre of music, opinion is subjective
So why is it that the news flame-blasted my face for a year straight over Fukushima, but my water hammer training is the first time I've heard about this tragedy at Sayano? Are 76 lives not significant??
Well, that's likely because the stupid and dangerous green religion has already gained a considerable influence. Therefore a nuclear accident (where an old nuclear power plant got exposed to a disaster it hadn't been designed for, yet in spite of that *nobody* died from radiation and (AFAIK) the only two victims were workers who drowned in the power plant's basement due to the tsunami) is something that the Green Religion considers important enough to be repeated indefinitely. On the other hand, a serious hydroelectric power plant accident with tens of victims must not be emphasized that much, because information of this kind might undermine the traditional green dogma stating that „renewable“ energy is „simply the best“. Yet as a matter of fact, nuclear energy is simply the best when it comes to workplace safety, environment protection and perhaps even „renewability“ one day, as soon as thorium molten salt reactors become commonplace.
+Andrej Podzimek You should read up a little on this.
A reporter that wrote a negative story was beaten and later charged criminally.
I don't think the green party had anything to with the story not getting out, it was a classic Russian cover up.
We all know the Russians are famous for not disclosing information on disasters, for example they lost over 30 cosmonauts from launching mishaps during their moon launch area and other space research activities. Any bad news a no no to the world.
C Smith What are you talking about, the tragedy was all over TV 24/7 when it happened, Russian wiki calls the accident to be a "most discussable topic of 2009". And all the goddamn reports were "a negative story".
This is one of the most unnerving places I've ever seen
Big machine...big boom. Scary.
Damage Cost only $310 million? No way it's that low.
Mind blowing, just seeing Pieces of the Stater laying on the Deck and the one next to is Exposed, ripping chunks of the Casing puts Butterflies all through me, i can't imagine what the Operators were thinking at the Point of knowing that things were fixing to get ugly, REAL UGLY, i sure hope that nobody lost a loved one. WOW!!!
aparently 76 people lost loved ones. But you'd never know it from this horseshit video theft.
Kind of puts the "Preventative" in "Preventative maintenance" to a new light... I wonder if the people directly responsible for the maintenance were among the people who got killed.
i work in a power plant myself, and it happends to power an alumina refinery. We got this in an email about safety, it was terrible.
what's with the bizarre sound effect's to what purpose are for ? Good video any way, there's another video show people exiting the build followed by water ang filling the parking area.............comment by Kenneth Boren..........
Yes the saddest part is that proper maintenance would most likely have prevented the accident. Terrible tragedy.
..wow that's depressing.I never heard of this.....
I appreciate the footage greatly, I appreciate the audio track just as much. Never heard that Eno track before
I think the turbines start to spin to fast, brakes were applied to late ( maybe safety devices failed? ) and then it started its big wobble until it popped out
i just saw they produced 650 megawatts per generater, holy crap we have 7 and at most we might produce 85 megawatts.
The image at 1:04 just makes me so unbelievably uneasy. I would be vastly more comfortable hanging out around an RBMK reactor for an entire day than I would be standing at the base of this dam for five minutes!
Vorr får jeg alt fra noe jeg ikke leser 1 jævla dritt?
Looks like somebody left the water running.
Soviet engineering and Russian maintenance. A deadly combination.
Trykfastheten på betongen her? Renovere?
Antolin - Why don't we have an explanation of what happened? Photos aren't enough.
God Damn Dam
a stitch in time saves nine
such a tragic accident, exlent vid and soundtrack well done
Mother always said dont play around water
......... I just wanna say that i hate dams and all hydrotechnique structures This movie is my worst nightmare .......... Just imagine the moment of that accident that force burst free killing everyone Just see how that building look like before and after that's terrifying (good video)
Am I the only who sees a problem with the English “Stop” sign….. 02:19 isn’t this supposed to be in Russia??
good soundtrack. i've approved your request.
Holy shhhhhit.. looks like stuff got fucked up real good one day...
It would have been like being in a nutra bullit machine only bigger.
Great sound track, well done.
Thanks for the visit and the comment.
The music should have been called "The Black Eye"
Behold the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide
Totally Avoidable accident and loss of life. One word- MAINTENANCE
Still one thing left out, wtf happened?
Blyatiful Cyka The operaters let the outlet drains of the powerplant clog and lead to a pressure overload on the generator turbines. What happened next was 4/6 turbines blew out at once, killing 75 people instantly. It was a very bad oversight of the engineers..
For these plants you have to asume a big risk
BLYAT !
yup, annoying soundtrack, but thanks for sharing the video.
You should see them drive cars.....
People keep calling this an accident,no such thing as "accidents ", only oversight,laziness and human mistakes.
defective & shoddy work that caused the incident
Oh yeah, good'ol 2009 back when potatoes were the preferred method of filming disasters.
Nominal Speed: 142,86 rpm. A water turbine that runs at 14,286 RPM? I don't think so. . Maybe 3600. . .
Actually. that speed is correct. The water turbine turns at a much faster rate than the generator. They use a gear reduction to get the 2500 rpms of the generator. Russia uses a 50 Hz system
My information comes from a documentary on the Hover dam that was on the History Channel.
Interesting. . Thanks for the info Jon Marple
The generators at the Hoover Dam produced 60 Hz (AC) power. In Russia they produce and use power at 50 Hz.
These turbines did indeed run at about 143 RPM. The generators were driven directly by the turbines but produced multiphase AC power; the output was at 50 Hz.
+Lou Pole. - I think you were thrown off by the comma used in the speed figure. It's common practice in Europe to use a comma in numerical values where we in the Western Hemisphere would use a period. So the real number is 142.86 RPM.
What creepy music... I like it.
Lada Power Plant
😮
Wow, that looks real bad...really bad. Think it's a total loss?
Las naturaleza tarde o temprano recuperará su territorio, el hombre no puede violarlo asi lo quiera, las presas muy pronto caerán y cobrará vidas, los recursos no tienen dueño humano para su avaricia, el dueño es la naturaleza, y se llevará a todos los involucrados
Nice pictures of machinery! Great video! Please give me the song name!
You want to know the song's name. Maybe they can supply the victim's names as well, and their children's names who no longer have a father.
@@R.U.1.2. Yep that would be really neat. A simple memorial plate with the names would be the least to ask for, with a few sentences referring to roughly what happened and why.
No need to get salty. I was a kid 11 years back.
@@gregordiesel You're correct.
Reminds me of СНЕЯИОЬУГ
Russia does not like to be bested in industrial accidents.
^what the fuck!?^
Blow up chernobyl, blow this up, what next!?
wo rohe Kräfte sinnlos walten...
You think it was sabotage? That happens.
d. cypher No.. They let the powerplant run with plugged outlet drains, and the exessive pressure had to go somewhere, and that somewhere is all of the power turbines.
Marc Brown do u know of documentary or info in english that explains that... i've tried to figure how it could happen...but i don't know all relevant facts
....
d. cypher Hmm.. I got the info from when it happened 8 years ago, but I've long forgotton the original source unfortunatly..
d. cypher I feel that if you type the the name of this video online, that there is boundless info around hopefully.
Marc Brown i see. If it was a mistake, or bad engineering ....wow. that's a big screw up.
VERY TERRİBLE TRAGEDY!
I'm so sick of the music police, If it sucks that bad then turn it off. You do know you have the controls to turn off the sound don't you?
If the music police suck so bad then ignore them. You do know you have the power to do that don't you?
3.6 Roentgen
You didn't see graphite
What's up with all the stupid sound effects
A horrible desaster, but the "music" is annoying...
Human life is very cheap in russia
Russians and their power plants...
typical incompetent russian engineering
you probably mean ''typical Russian engineering'' :P
Pues en eeuu no lo hacéis mejor...
If russians are so bad at engineering, how come they have the space program with the highest success rate in the world and the US rely on them for reaching space? Or are american engineers also incompetent? :P
Chernobyl. Soviet SST. You lose. Thanks for playing.
Chernobyl - it's not an accident but a diversion of the Jews. in Russia is full of objects to seamlessly make a diversion. eg designers Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP can sure as saboteurs murdered in - flank the toilet to repair or replace the need to drain the water. and the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP not drain at 31 cubic kilometers! doubt look at the monument breakneck horse (horse of the apocalypse) near the airport in denevere and monument builders of the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP - will become clear!
Music is horrible (constructive criticism)
Just another Chernobyl.
But this time the disaster was water damage. Chernobyl was caused by using fission using Manhatten Project technology. Graphite blocks to contain the nuclear pile. That's like melting lead (Pb) in a crucible made of wax.
GARBAGE
I DIDNT LIKE THE MUSIC
THANKS
The music SUCKS. Thumbs down.
