]]> AIN active has reproduced at a 1/15 scale the following elements of the Miguillas Hydroelectric Utilization system:

  • Chamber 1 for the intake of contributions from the Calachaca reservoir and the Carabuco plant, equipped with a thin-wall spillway.

  • Rectangular channel connecting Chamber 1 with Chamber 2 (aqueduct).

  • Chamber 2 equipped with the corresponding thin-wall spillway.

  • Tunnel linking Chamber 2 with the base of the surge shaft.

  • Surge shaft equipped with a constriction.

  • Simplified outlet duct to three valves representing the three turbines of the Umapalca plant.

The purpose of this experimentation is to verify the behavior of the chambers and aqueduct based on turbine operation maneuvers.
