The Modernization Project Included the Replacement of the Entire Alternating Current Auxiliary Electrical System, as Well as Other Supplies at the Hydroelectric Power Plant in Minas Gerais

Renewable energies are becoming the new normal. To drive its energy transition, Brazil can rely on extensive potential sources of renewable energy. Ranked third in the world in “green” electricity generation, it is especially active in hydroelectric power generation.

In January 2018, Omexom in Belo Horizonte and CEMIG signed a contract for the upgrade of the 1,192 MW hydroelectric power plant located on the Paranaíba River, near the city of Araguari, in Minas Gerais.

Hydropower is the cleanest and most efficient of renewable energies. Thanks to the upgrade of this hydroelectric plant, Omexom is offering an extension of its lifespan, as well as an optimization of its maximum power.

For 14 Months, Omexom Carried Out the Transition from the Old to the New System While the Plant Was Still in Operation, Generating the Least Possible Impact on Renewable Energy Production.

The scope of the modernization included the replacement of the entire Alternating Current Auxiliary Electrical System, as well as some of the most important supplies for the main systems of the plant, such as the spillway, ventilation for the step-up transformer, generator operator control, synchronization compensators, and the cooling and adjustment of the protection system for the generating unit. Over 90 racks for electrical panels were supplied in the main scope.
