Inca de Varas II

The Inca de Varas II Photovoltaic Power Plant project, located in the town of Carrera Pinto, Atacama Region, corresponds to a photovoltaic solar plant of approximately 95MWAC of peak power, and an electric transmission line or high voltage line (LAT) in 220 kV for energy evacuation to the Central Interconnected System (SIC), which will have an approximate extension of 4,550 meters, and that it will connect to the Carrera Pinto Substation owned by Transelec, either directly or through the LAT of Inca de Varas I. Therefore, the project under evaluation consists of three main parts, these being the following:

Photovoltaic Solar Plant. Sub-Station Elevadora Inca de Varas II 23/220 kV. High Voltage Line (LAT).

Additionally, it has an access road, interior roads and a perimeter fence and protection channels or diversion of rainwater.

Once the captured energy is transformed by the inverters from direct current to alternating current, all the production of the installation will be conducted to the Inca de Varas II lifting substation, where it will finally be adapted to the voltage of 220 kV to be injected into the Central Interconnected System (SIC) through the Carrera Pinto sub-station.

For its part, the high voltage line will have an extension of 4,550 meters, and will have an easement strip of 40 meters wide (20 meters to each side from the axis of the line). For the evacuation of energy will require the use of support structures (high voltage towers of a circuit), conductive cables, insulators and electrical support elements. This LAT considers the connection and transport of the line through the high voltage towers belonging to the INCA DE VARAS I project, the latter being double circuit towers (2x220 kV).
