Small Decentralized Hydropower Program National ... - Cd3wd.com

Proyectos de inter& local. Consisten en proyectos
a nivel local de pequefias hidroel&tricas o t&micas
diesel y redes asociadas, que son realizados en coor-
dinaci6n con 10s Organismos de Desarrollo Departa-
mentales y/o Regionales. Para este propbsito, Elec-
tropeni tiene una Oficina de Proyectos de Inter&
Local (OPIL).
Proyectos de minicentrales hidroelktricas. Con
las finalidades de sustitir la generaci6n t&mica por
hidroelectricidad y de suministrar energia a pobla-
ciones aisladas o grupos de Gllas, se tiene un Pro-
grama de Construcci6n de Minicentrales
Hidroel&tricas.
Estos proyectos consisten en Pequerios sistemas
El&tricos formados por la Central, Lineas de Sub-
transmisibn y de Distribucibn. Para e&e prop&ito,
Electropeti ha organizado una Oficina de1 Programa
de Tccnologia Aplicada (OPTA).
Proyectos de ampliacibn y mejoramiento de las
unidades de explotacibn. Para la operacidn y
mantenimiento de sus sistemas el&tricos, Electro-
peti cuenta en su organizaci6n con 5 Unidades de
Explotaci6n.
Cada Unidad tiene a su cargo una regi6n de1 pais,
formada por varios departamentos vecinos.
Dentro de sus funciones las Unidades de Explota-
ci6n tiene a su cargo el Programa de “Ampliacibn y
Mejoramiento” de sus sistemas el&tricos, que incluye
la construcci6n de pequefios sistemas el&tricos prin-
cipalmente en localidades aisladas.
Electropeni en su Gerencia de Planeamiento cuen-
ta con una Jefatura de Proyectos de Electrificaci6n
Rural, cuya finalidad principal es realizar el Plan Na-
cional de Electrificaci6n Rural, asi coma realizar
estudios de sistemas rurales.
Estadistica de Pequefias Centsales para Elec-
trificacih Rural
Las centrales de generaci6n para elect,rificac%n
rural son t&micas a base de petrc’leo diesel e
hidroel&tricas. Estas pequefias centrales, en su
mayoria tienen una potencia instalada hasta de 1000
kW. En este rango de potencia (1000 kW) instalada
por central, en el tie 1976 existian 892 pequefias
centrales, con una potencia instalada t.otal de 159,290
kW, es decir el 6.3% de! total en el pais. La produc-
ci6n de energia fue de1 ordcn de 237.4 GWh, que
represent6 el 3% de la producci6n total de pais
durante ese tic.
De este total de 892 pequelias centrales, 451
pertenecen a sistemas de servicio pliblico y 441 cor-
responden a 10s autoproductores. Debido a que estas

Local interest projects. These consist of local
levels projects with small hydroelectric or ther-
mal diesel powerplants and associated grids im-
plemented in cooperation with agencies for
regional or departmental (state) development. For
this purpose, Electroperu has an Office of Local
Interest Projects (OPIL).
Mini-hydroelectric projects. For the purpose of
substituting hydropower for thermal generation
and to supply energy to isolated populations or
groups of them, we have a Mini-hydropower con-
struction Program.
These projects consist of small electric
systems, with components such as powerplant,
subtrarIsmission and distribution lines. For this
purpose, Electroperu has organized an Office of
Applied Technology (OPTA).
Expansion and improvement projects for opera-
tional units. To keep up operations and
maintenance of the electric systems, Electroperu
has five operations units. Each unit has respon-
sibility for a region of the country, each region
formed by several neighboring departments.
Among the functions of the operations units, sre
the “Expansion and Improvement” of electric
systems, including construction of small electric
systems, mainly in isolated communities.
Electroperu also has an Office for Rural Elec-
trification Projects, as part of Planning Manage-
ment, whose main purpose is to formulate the
National Rural E!ectrification Plan, as well as
perform rural system studies.
Statistics on Small Rural Electrification
Systems
The generation systems for rural electrification
are thermai, operated by petroleum fuel, diesel,
or hydropowered. Most of these small units have
an instalied capacity of up to 1000 kW. In this
range of SilOO kW installed capacity per system,
during 1976 there were 892 small units with an in-
stalled capacity of 159,290 kW, representing
6.3% of the country total. The energy output was
237.4 GWh, which represented 3% of the total
output in the country during that year.
Out of this total of 892 small systems, 451 are
serving the public sector and 441 are industrial or
privately-owned units. Rue to the fact that these
systems (451) are supplying energy to rural areas,
we present an analysis of them. The following
chart shows that the 451 public service systems
