The Teles Pires power plant ( Usina Hidrelétrica Teles Pires in Portuguese ) is a hydropower plant in Brazil that dams the Teles Pires into a reservoir. The Teles Pires at this point forms the border between the municipalities of Paranaíta in the state of Mato Grosso and Jacareacanga in the state of Pará . The power plant has an installed capacity of 1820 MW . It is owned by Companhia Hidrelétrica Teles Pires (CHTP) and is also operated by CHTP.
history
The first studies on the use of hydropower in the Teles Pires catchment area were carried out in 2006 by ANEEL . They showed that the construction of six hydropower plants with a total output of 3600 MW would be possible. A feasibility study for the Teles Pires power plant was submitted to ANEEL in June 2009. Construction began in 2011. The first machine in the power plant went online in November 2015. In September 2016, all five machines were then in operation.
Barrier structure
The 1650 m long barrier structure is a combination of rock embankment and gravity dam made of rolled concrete with a height of 80 m. The crest of the dam is at a height of 224 m above sea level . The engine house is on the right side of the river; the flood relief with four gates is in the middle of the dam.
During the construction period, the Teles Pires was diverted through three tunnels; they are 318 m long, 15 m wide and 16 m high. The tunnels are on the left side of the river and were completed in June 2013.
Reservoir
With a maximum storage target of 220 m, the reservoir extends over a length of 70 km and an area of around 134.7 (or 135.6 or 150) km². The water surface of the Teles Pires in the section of the reservoir was 40.6 km² before the dam, so that around 94.1 (or 95) km² of land was flooded by the reservoir.
power plant
The Teles Pires power plant has an installed capacity of 1,820 MW . The 5 Francis turbines of the power plant each produce a maximum of 364 (or 369.7) MW; the associated generators provide 404 MVA . The nominal speed of the machines is 75 / min. The head is 52.2 (or 59) m, the volume of water used is 764 m³ / s per turbine. The electricity generated is carried off via a 500 kV line.
The impeller of a turbine weighs 260 (or 267) t; it has a height of 5 m and a diameter of 8 (or 8.5) m. The first runner for the power plant was delivered in June 2014; According to Alstom , this is the largest impeller that has been manufactured for a hydropower plant in South America up to that point. The last wheel was delivered in April 2015. The transport route extended over 6000 km; it went from the manufacturer in Taubaté via Santos , Nueva Palmira and Cáceres to its destination.
Others
The total costs of the project are given as 1.1 (or 1.2) billion USD and 4 billion R $ . The operator Companhia Hidrelétrica Teles Pires is a joint venture between Neoenergia (50.1%), Eletrobrás -Eletrosul (24.5%), Eletrobrás-Furnas (24.5%) and Odebrecht (0.9%). Neoenergia is a subsidiary of Iberdrola .
