Resumen

This research work describes a project to improve the
electrical installations of a mining site in Peru due to energy
shortage problems. The mining site is vital for the national
production of silver, lead and zinc, which boosts the economy and
generates employment. The lack of electricity supply affects
ventilation in underground workings and other operations. The
capacity of the existing generator sets does not cover the demand,
and energy is rationalized, generating outages in the camp and
other operational areas, affecting the quality of life of the
collaborator. The improvement proposal consists of centralizing two
generating sets in the same place, a main GE and an auxiliary one,
an installation design is proposed that covers the sizing of the
generating set to the power distribution, and applying reactive
power compensation through capacitors. A model 3508TA
generator set with a power of 680 KW is selected. The
implementation of a 2.3kV medium voltage network is also proposed.
The implementation of the model will be carried out considering
safety regulations to preserve the health of the collaborator, the
development of the activities of the mining site initially is at 35.6%
after the implementation of the improvement model is calculated at
an average of 84.5%, that is, there was an improvement of 48.9%.
The validation of the project will be carried out using simulation
software and specialized tools. In summary, the project seeks to
solve the electricity supply problems in the mining site, improve
operational efficiency and guarantee sustainable development in the
future
