5.1 Previous
The optimization studies of the scheme and design of the Molloco Project works are presented in Chapter 7 in the Chiquimo Association Report, 1986. The procedure applied and the main results obtained in such study are briefly described below.
The optimization of the useful volume of each one of the reservoirs was carried out by a simulation of the system of three reservoirs with different combinations of volumes. The regulated firm flow was determined in each case with persistence of 95%, the corresponding installable power and the producible energy in both power houses, upper and lower, for plant factors 0.65 and 0.50. In order to estimate the benefits of power and energy, alternative thermal plants of turbogas type were considered in groups of 25MW, and vapor type in groups of 50 MW, as well as alternative costs of fuel of 20 and 26 $US per barrel, and updating rates of 8, 10 and 12%. The energy benefits were calculated considering the firm energy only. The simulations were performed using a series of monthly average flows synthetically generated of 50 years length and for the following useful volumes Machucocha: 0 up to 100 3 3 Mm 3 , Molloco: 0 up to 150 Mm , Japo: 0 up to 60 Mm . The results showed that the most favorable action would be to make use of the maximum 3 verified volumes with a firm flow of 9.84 m /s. With regard to the selection of the capacity installed, a set of simulations was performed by variation of plant factors ranging from 0.4 to 0.7. For an updating rate of 10%, there was a minimum cost for a plant factor of 0.60 3 corresponding to a design flow of both plants of 16.4 m /s. The optimal dimensions of the conductors were determined considering different diameters and load losses. The final results in terms of useful volumes, operation levels and hydroenergetic parameters are shown in Chart 5.1 and Illustration 5.1.

5.2
The regulation plans of the Molloco basin were analyzed and evaluated in this study in a similar manner as the previous plans within the framework of several scenarios as defined below.
5.2.1 Development
Scheme
The current scheme modified by the Consultant covers the same reservoirs and regulation sites and two heads with power houses; the upper head power house has been located upstream. According to the new scheme, the use of the total available slope (about 2160 m) between the Japo reservoir and the Colca River Valley is as follows: Upper head : Japo reservoir - Llatica Power house at approx. 3190 masl Lower head : Llatica Soro Power House (Colca River) at approx. 2050 masl The corresponding gross heads result in approximately 1030 m and 1140 m for Llatica and Soro Power Plants respectively. Due to this modification, the current development scheme showed in Illustration 6.2 includes the following phases. Phase I: Machucocha Lake Reservoir Japo Reservoir Lower head with Soro Power House Phase II: Molloco Reservoir Upper head with Llatica Power House

5.2.2 Definition of the scenarios Since the energy benefits will be mainly performed through the generation of firm energy and since the contributions vary significantly within the year and year by year (as shown in Illustrations 4.3 and 4.5), it is essential to develop the regulation of the basin to the maximum. The scenarios defined represent possible alternative modes or strategies of operation in order to verify the ability of the reservoirs for maximizing the regulated firm flow. In order to facilitate comparisons between the diverse scenarios, the dimensions established in the feasibility study were taken as base case and replied in Chart 6.1 regarding the operation/useful volume levels of the reservoirs and the design flow of the power plants.

The analysis procedure has been defined in the following steps: 1. Verification of alternative operation levels (NAMO), useful volume and regulation capacity. 2. Verification of variants of design flow and capacity installed. 3. Verification of the generation statistics obtained with the base case. 4. Analysis and documentation of the characteristics of the electrical system. 5. Detailed simulation of the configuration elected. 6. Sensitivity analysis.
The results are submitted and will be discussed below from Section 1.6.4.
5.3 Methodology The evaluation procedure of the possible regulation plans involves the simulation of the operation of reservoirs and hydroelectric power plants with different volumes and capacities under the diverse hydrologic conditions in the series of contribution in the historical period 1965-2007.
5.3.1 Simulation
Model
A set of computational tools of the Consultant was applied for this purpose. The main model applied, APROS, is able to simulate the water balance and transit over several interconnected sections and bodies of water that may contain any combination of components, such as: Natural rivers and lakes, Water collection, Regulation reservoirs, Hydroelectric power plants, Channels and derivations through tunnels,
The water transit and management in every section or component is calculated according to the continuity principle over a common multi-annual period and with a discrete time interval: day, 10-days or month. Water Balance and Management The impounding operation is performed on the monthly values basis (or other established periods), applying the storage equation: Sm =S S = ( I

For a determined reservoir volume, the corresponding level in the reservoir and its surface are determined through interpolation in the relations elevation-area-volume. The net losses in the reservoir are determined based on the evaporation rates at the beginning and at the end of every month. Power and Energy Calculation For the hydroelectric power plants, the power that may be generated is calculated according to the flow and head (reservoir level or head bed function) in each interval (month) over the simulation period by using the following formula: P where: P mt mg QT H = generation capacity (MW) = turbine efficiency (Q and H function) = generator efficiency = turbine flow (m = net head (m)

Monthly Evaporation Profile The net or effective evaporation is defined as the difference between the evaporation from the reservoir and the evapotranspiration occurred under natural conditions on the reservoir area. The calculation will be carried out every month for every reservoir based on the tank evaporation (adjusted), the rain and the runoff coefficient in the dam site according to the formula. EN Where:

- (1 - ) P
EN - net evaporation ES reservoir evaporation surface P precipitation on the reservoir - runoff coefficient m index of the month
The Angostura meteorological station located in the neighboring basin at an elevation of 4220 masl - is the closest station to the reservoirs with representative monthly precipitation and evaporation records. The annual precipitation and evaporation values (tank or class- A Pan) registered in Angostura are 800 mm and 1567 mm respectively (Charts 3.2 and 3.3). Adjustment factors were applied based on these values considering the elevation and location differences in order to estimate the adequate values in the dam sites (Chart 6.3). A tank coefficient of 0.7 was applied to convert the evaporation measured in the evaporation pan. For a runoff coefficient, 0.44 was estimated in the three sites, and the relation was between the natural flow and the precipitation over the reservoir area. The monthly averages and the annual values of net evaporation were calculated and the results were 581, 666 and 840 mm for Machucocha, Molloco and Japo Reservoirs respectively, as it is shown in Chart 5.3.

Reservoir topography The topography of the reservoirs is defined by the relation elevation area volume given by the respective storage curves. The same curves were applied as they were established and applied in the feasibility study. The maximum and minimum operation levels (NAMO / NAMI) indicated in Illustration 5.4 correspond to those previously established, defining the corresponding useful volumes of 3 100, 150 and 60 Mm (base case).

Control Rules For this purpose involving the regulation of the reservoirs, neither strict operation rules nor retention levels are defined so as to maximize the firm flow only. During the operation, the filling and emptying cycle from the reservoirs is still performed freely in months and years, being controlled by the maximum and minimum levels only. In case the reservoir is filled to the maximum level, the discharge causes a spill. In case the reservoir is emptied to the minimum level, the discharge will be limited to a value similar to that of the contribution in the current month.
