Paulo Afonso Hydro Power Plant
Altus performs the upgrade process
of the plant complex of Companhia
Hi dr el t ri ca do S o Fr an ci sc o
(CHESF) that comprises Paulo Afonso
I, II and III. Altogether, there are 13
generating units, producing a total
power of 1,56GW. This is one of the
biggest energy producing complexes in
Brazil, based on water power from the
So Francisco River located in the
boundary of the states of Bahia,
Alagoas and Pernambuco.
The first upgraded generating unit
became operational in 2008. The
project started in 2005 is expected to
start remaining operations until 2009
and 2011. Altus, one of the sector
leaders that uses its own technology, is
one of the few Brazilian companies that

information, thus contributing to reduce
the possibilities of blackouts, such as
those observed in Brazil in the past
years.
From the upgrade developed by
Altus, it is possible to operate the entire
complex through a centralized operation room, as well as through remote

CHESFs Ce nter of O peratio ns,
located in Recife, about 500 km from
the energy complex of Paulo Afonso.
Thus, the analysis and decisions can
be made in real time, ensuring the
integrated monitoring of the complex.
