Peruvians energy
During the 2009 the electric industry has generated 32 945 GW/h of electrical energy, what meant an increase of 1,5% from the year 2008. This energy is produced by hydro-electric power, natural gas, coal, diesel. Mainly in the hydraulic origin it has been produced a 60% and thermic has been produced a 40%. (Diagram.3) This show us the production of renewable electrical energy in Peru, however there are other sources of energy which do produce energy but not electrically, as I will show in the next diagram.
In this case we can see in diagram.4 the final energy consumption of Peru in the year 2009, this is measured in thousands tonnes of oil equivalent, in other words is the amount of energy released by burning one tonne of crude oil. This diagram show us that the biggest energy consumption comes from oil products and coal,which are fossil fuels and do harm the environment In the other hand the least energy consumption resource comes from solar energy, this is a renewable source and do not harm the environment. As we can see, its clear that Peru still depends on fossil fuels to develop, however they could improve and encourage the use of renewable resources such as Solar and HEP, Hep is not present here because there exists no consumption after subtracting the TPES that is the Total primary energy supply.
The total loses of energy during the year 2009 rose up to 3410,0 GW/h. value which represents de 10% of the total energy production ( 32 945 GW/h). According to the electrical system the great loses are from energy transmission by 58%, this is the transfer of electrical energy, from generating power plants to the electrical stations located near the demand centers and during this process some of the energy produced is wasted. Meanwhile a 42% by the loses in the distribution of electrical energy, this is the final stage in delivery of electricity to consumers, this network include transformers, power-lines and low voltage wires. (diagram.5)
The total number of workers that organizations have, to develop electrical activities in 2009 reached 6758. The participation of the workers according to the different activities were: Generation 35%, this means the people who work at the electrical stations around the country. Transition 7% this are the people who work running the distribution of the energy in center near cities where energy is preserved. And Distribution 58%, this are the people who work either putting electrical posts, wires, transformers, etc. (Diagram.6)
As we can see in these diagrams, Peru’s renewable energy is mainly produced by HEP, this is because we are exploiting our geography and because of the Andes mountains we have many rivers and dams.Also we are taking care of the atmosphere by exploiting our best resources However the consumption of Peru has been increasing slowly during the years. Also of all the energy produced we can said that Peru's top resources are coal and natural gas which is very abundant. We still need to develop the renewable technology .
