Hydroelectric power plant
The Carhuac hydropower plant is part of a power plant cascade. Upperflow is the hydroelectric power plant Huanza , effluent the dam Sheque that the hydroelectric plant Huinco supplied with water.
The Carhuac hydropower plant was built between 2016 and 2018. The technical equipment (turbines, generators, etc.) for the plant was supplied by Andritz Hydro . The planned start-up date is November 7th, 2018. The power plant houses 2 horizontally directed Francis turbines (impeller diameter: 1070 mm; rotation frequency: 600 / min) each with an output of 10.4 MW.
The gross height of fall is 159.4 m, the net height of fall is 120.3 m. The two power plant units each have an expansion water volume of 7.5 m³ / s. The inlet structure ( ⊙ ) is about 1.7 km upstream, a few meters below the Huanza hydropower plant.
