Barra Clara plant (in operation) : 1 x 2MW Kaplan turbine, 20m net head height
Santa Ana plant (in operation): 2 x 3MW Francis turbine, 70m net head height, 2,5km tunnel and 660m open canal
Coqueiral plant (civil work under construction): 2 x 2MW Francis turbine, 40m net head height
Fartura plant (not started yet): 2 x 2MW Francis turbine, 60m net head height
These 4 plants are connected to a single supervision Scada system. The goal is to operate the 4 plants from 1 single control room based in Santa Ana plant. The plants generate power in 4,5kV. Then each plant is connected to a 34,5kV line through a MV/MV outdoor substation. The 34,5kV line is connected to 138kV HV line through the MV/HV step-up automated substation.
For Schneider Electric, the project consists in engineering, installation and commissioning of:
the 4 small hydro plants (supervision, control, electrical distribution and grid connection)
