Análisis del potencial energético de la central hidroeléctrica Pucará

Abstract

It begins with a brief description of the power generation plants, general applications, the demand and production of electric energy. It uses fundamental concepts of the branches of engineering, necessary to understand the operation of a power plant and the energy variables. It indicates the geographical location of the Pisayambo - Pucará project, as well as the construction elements of the Pelton turbine. Another aspect is the current energy production with the records taken from the totalizers installed in the engine room and the commercial transactions of the liquidations executed by CENACE in the Wholesale Electricity Market. The energetic sections are established: driving, turbine and generator. Energy measurement and evaluation is regulated and controlled by IEC, ASME and IEEE quality standards that technically regulate these activities with the promulgation of several regulations. In addition, a brief description of the equipment used in the data record. Procedures are established to calculate the losses in each energy section for different electric output power scenarios. This is processed with the results of the electrical tests to the generator and recording of flows. It compares an ideal production and exergy that can be exploited.
