ITAIPU
Having more power than 10 nuclear power stations it supplies the second largest city on the planet with zero-emission electricity since 1984, still being extended until 1991. 26% of the electrical power consumption of Brazil and 78% of Paraguay are supplied by ITAIPU
Each year ITAPU generates 75 TWh of electricity (and avoids 67.5 million tons of carbondioxide emissions - compared to coal power plants). This electricity has to be transported to the areas of consumption and adapted to the local grid. Due to the existence of two frequencies, 50 Hz and 60 Hz, two independent power conditioning systems were installed.
