Empresas Públicas de Medellín ( ESP ) has
awarded IMPSA a contract to rehabilitate the La
Tasajera hydroelectric power plant near the city
of Medellín , in the Department of Antioquia ,
Colombia.
The contract provides for the implementation
of one of IMPSA ’ s high- performance hydraulic
designs to optimize machine efficiency. The
project’ s 3 105 MW Pelton turbines will have
four injectors and a net head of 900 m. IMPSA
will be testing the unner operation at its
hydraulics laboratory in Mendoza , which is
equipped with a high- head universal test rig
specially designed for Pelton turbines .
Unlike the project ’ s old runners, which are cast ,
the new 3 m- diameter runners that will help
drive the turbines are fully machined from a
single forged piece .
The La Tasajera power plant , which adds
315 MW to the grid , is located in the Barbosa
district , northern Valle del Aburrá, and near the
Girardota district in Colombia.
