Estudio de pre factibilidad eléctrica para el proyecto de generación hidroeléctrica “Santa Ana” para la empresa Pil-Hidro

Abstract

This paper makes electrical feasibility analysis for the proposed mini hydro central "Santa Ana", evaluating the electrical factors from the point of generation (powerhouse) to the point of delivery of the electrical energy generated (point of interconnection electric). Established the hydrological characteristics and the project net head, electrical and electromechanical equipment in the powerhouse is described, as in the case of turbine and electric generator. Used general criteria for the selection of the interconnection point, the general characteristics of lifting the substation and the preliminary design of the transmission line to transport power generated is performed. The criteria are based on the development of basic electrical studies for technical conceptualization that includes generating capacity, capacity of conductors, power flow, short circuit studies, etc. Finally an estimate of the cost of infrastructure and equipment necessary is done to carry out the process of generating electricity. This estimate is based on current legislation in our country concerning renewable energy, and is reflected in the financial study of the project.
