Enhancing Peru’s hydropower infrastructure with Corona Rings
Hydropower accounts to 47.72% of Peru’s electricity generation which positions the country as a renewable energy leader in the region.
Hydropower stations like San Gaban, faces increased risks of corona discharge that leads to energy losses and equipment degradation.
Corona rings distribute the electric field uniformly around high-voltage equipment to mitigate corona discharge and its damages.
Reducing corona discharge helps prevent radio frequency interference to ensure reliable power transmission and stable grid operations.
Incorporating corona rings aligns with Peru’s hydropower infrastructure with international best practices.
The integration of corona ring technology into Peru’s hydropower infrastructure shows the country’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
Addressing environmental and technical challenges during the development of the San Gaban hydroelectric station included strategies such as implementing mountain tunnel systems to divert water efficiently.

Ground anchors powering Peru’s copper Energy future
Peru holds significant reserves of copper, zinc, gold, silver, and lithium, that position it as a key player in supporting advancements in clean energy technologies.
Copper is essential for wind turbines, solar panels, electric vehicles, and power grids. The global demand for copper is expected to increase by over 40% by 2040 due to increased demand for low-carbon technologies.
Ground anchors are crucial for stabilizing slopes in open-pit mines, securing underground tunnels and protecting infrastructure.
Modern ground anchors use automated tensioning systems, corrosion-resistant coatings, and fiber-reinforced materials to enhance durability and performance in challenging mining environments.
The integration of robust ground anchoring systems ensures mining safety and also supports Peru’s goals for economic development and environmental goals. This is by easing the extraction of crucial minerals needed for energy transition.

Stockbridge dampers drive grid transparency in Peru
Peru is integrating Stockbridge dampers into its overhead power lines to mitigate wind-induced vibrations. The dampers reduce conductor fatigue and breakages leading to fewer power outages and increased grid stability.
The dampers support the integration of renewable energy sources by maintaining the structural integrity of transmission lines connected to remote renewable projects.
They help in reducing maintenance costs and unplanned downtimes which is crucial for the consistent delivery of renewable energy.
Installation of Stockbridge dampers aligns with the goal of improving infrastructure durability and efficiency. The modernization is crucial for meeting increased clean energy demand and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Using such technologies contribute to job creation in engineering, construction, and maintenance sectors. It also enhances Peru’s economic competitiveness by ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy supply.
