Electron do Brasil extends its excellence in critical asset monitoring to Bolivia, equipping the Del Sur Gran Chaco thermal power plant (ENDE) in Yacuíba. This gas-fired plant is vital to the local power supply, contributing an annual average of 508 MW, and has the strategic distinction of exporting power to Argentina.
All power transformers (50 MVA) and reactors at this plant are protected and monitored with high-performance hardware from Electron, ensuring operational safety and energy efficiency in an international context.
Monitoring Technology at ENDE Yacuíba
The Del Sur Gran Chaco plant uses two market-leading Electron solutions for thermal control and protection, essential for gas-fired power generation:
1. Mastertemp: Protection for 50 MVA Transformers
Every 50 MVA transformer at the plant is equipped with Mastertemp, our high-performance protection and temperature monitoring relay (ANSI 49/49I function).
- Advanced Measurement: Designed to accurately measure the transformer's oil temperature and the temperature of up to 3 windings.
- Cooling Control: Controls up to 5 fan groups, optimizing cooling and extending transformer service life.
- Integrated Communication: Includes RS485 digital communication (Modbus RTU/DNP 3 protocols) and configurable analog outputs (0-20mA, 4-20mA), integrating seamlessly with the plant's SCADA systems.
- Complete Protection: Features 13 configurable relays for alarms and protection, ensuring asset availability.
2. Monitemp Plus: Reactor Temperature Control
The plant's reactors are also equipped with Monitemp Plus, a solution that provides temperature monitoring specifically for this type of asset. This ensures that the entire high-voltage electrical system operates within optimal safety parameters, especially at a plant focused on generation and power exports.
A Global Commitment to Safety and Efficiency
ENDE's choice of Electron technology at a strategic border location like Yacuíba attests to the international reliability of our products. Our solutions directly contribute to the stability of Bolivia's power generation, with an impact that extends to the supply to Argentina.
