Title of the Project Study of a Generator Group's Influence over the Ichtyofauna Project Manager Juarez Neves Cardoso Executing Entity Minas Gerais State University Total Cost R$ 885.893,00 Year 1 - R$ 322,704.00 Year 2 - R$ 246,776.00 Year 3 - R$ 316,413.00 Keywords Functioning of a generator group as synchronous Hydroelectric Power Plants Fish Transposition Ichthyofauna preservation Objectives of the Project To define an action zone for the group to perform as a synchronous compensator; To verify the efficiency of the measurements and case the results are encouraging, the experiments will be repeated on a little scale in a field experiment. Expected Results for the Project The electric power concessionaires in the Country will have at their disposal a study and an equipment prototype of an equipment that will allow the knowlege about the behavior of a generator group functioning as a synchronous compensator. The diminishing of the fish deathrate will consequently imply the diminishing of environmental problems and fines. Reduction in the aggression to the environment. Improvement in the company's image before society. Costs on environmental fines avoided. Diminishing in the operational limitations because of environmental restrictions. Trainings and specialization of personnel.
