The hydroelectric power station Carpapata III (span. Central Hidroeléctrica Carpapata III ) is located on the Río Tarma in central Peru . The power plant is located in the Palca district in the Tarma province of the Junín administrative region . The plant went into operation in August 2016. The plant is operated by Generación Eléctrica Atocongo SA, a subsidiary of Unión Andina de Cementos SAA (UNACEM). The power plant serves u. a. the energy supply of the Condorcocha cement works located 30 km west-southwest.
Hydroelectric power plant
The hydropower plant is located at an altitude of 1980 m on the right bank of the Río Tarma. It is located in the Peruvian Central Cordillera , 24 km west-southwest of the city of San Ramón and 24 km northeast of the city of Tarma . The Carpapata III hydropower plant is part of a cascade of power plants on the Río Tarma - the Carpapata II and Huasahuasi II hydropower plants are upstream and the Yanango hydropower plant downstream .
The power plant has two horizontally-directed Francis turbines with an output of 6.35 MW each and a runner diameter of 910 mm, supplied by the Austrian company Gugler . The gross height of fall is 124.49 m, the net height of fall is 113.8 m, and the volume of water used is a total of 12.7 m³ / s.
Weir
About 2.4 km upstream there is a weir ( ⊙ ) with a sedimentation basin on the Río Tarma . 340 m above the weir, the Río Huasahuasi flows into the Río Tarma on the left. Another 480 m upstream on the Río Huasahuasi is the Huasahuasi II hydropower plant. The outflow from the Carpapata II hydropower plant is located directly on the weir. A 1.47 km long feed tunnel leads the turbine water from the Carpapata II power plant and the water diverted from the weir to a pressure pipe that runs along the Carpapata III power plant ends.
