Abstract

Chile's main electricity supply has been carried out until recently by two independent power systems: SING (northern) and SIC (central + southern). Now, both grids operate as one National Electric System (SEN), feeding a peak load of nearly 11GW. Conventional generation is performed through hydraulic units placed in the southern region and thermal power plants mainly located in the central and northern region. The highest concentrations of loads are located in the central zone, while in the northern region there is an important mining demand. The transmission network is composed of 500kV, 220kV and 154kV lines; mainly double circuit.
