Santral Istanbul Energy Museum

The first machine rooms of Silahtarağa Power Plant, built in 1913 and 1921, were strengthened and protected and turned into santralistanbul Energy Museum. The first step of this transformation was to clean the turbine-generator groups and other machines that started to rust since they did not work after 1983 when electricity production stopped, and to stop rust by coating with a special protector. Later, the number 1 turbine-generator group was protected by reaching its appearance on the date it started operating in 1931. Turbine-generator group 3 was left open when production stopped; this group was also clearly preserved.
