Advancements in
modernization
Created in 2019 with the goal of
modernizing the plant, the 'Future
Mission' project continued in 2022. To
support progress and ensure management
efficiency, we restructured the Board
responsible for monitoring actions,
including a new Contractual Management
department that alongside the
Engineering and Execution team will share
responsibilities and guide the processes.
Among the steps already completed
through the initiative are:
• Completed installation of two new step-
up transformers and their respective
fire protection systems. Four out of the
power plant's six transformers have
therefore already been modernized.
The remaining two will be installed by
2025. This stage brought more security
to one of the most critical components
that caused undesirable unplanned
interventions in the plant;
• New hydraulic units installed at the
water intake and spillway, in addition
to modernizing existing hydraulic units,
boosting the system's reliability;
Modernizing three radial floodgates
of the spillway, including the starting
system, which now allows us to operate
and monitor the floodgates remotely
from the control room, something that
used to be done locally;
• Modernization completed of the
spillway's stop logs.
MODERNIZATION OF
SIX GENERATING UNITS
The shutdown of the
first generator unit
at HPP São Simão is
scheduled for July 2023.
In 2022, we structured all the necessary plans to modernize the
six generating units of the plant, including detailing activities,
implementing projects, commencing the purchase and manufacturing
of equipment and mobilizing the companies that will carry out the
disassembly and assembly work of the first unit to be modernized,
whose shutdown is scheduled for July 2023. We also initiated
the renovation of the stop logs and manufacturing of the stator,
completing the infrastructure needed by the team that will lead the
new phase, including the construction site, water treatment facility
and electric power network. Additionally, we set up a new gate for
the entry of trucks and equipment.
The project will be carried out by the HPP São Simão Modernization
JV, formed by GE Renewable Energy and Powerchina Brasil. This
process is forecast to be completed in 2029. Until then, we will
continuing other improvement actions that will support operational
continuity until the end of the process.View entire presentation
