Capabilities & Competences
UNIPOWER® merges in only one component the traditional functions of turbine and generator
minimizing the active parts, reducing losses and down-time for maintenance.
UNIPOWER® uses permanent magnets and variable speed pitch regulated power, optimizing the
energy collection at every wind speed.
Units of 1.5 MW and 2.1 MW. The concept is being extended to a 4 MW.
Development of power generation investment projects
from renewable resources.
Through this division, IMPSA develops, designs, builds,
operates and maintains hydroelectric projects and wind
farms, and is responsible for financial engineering.

“ARGEN” “PROGEN”
Electromagnetic and mechanical Mechanical calculations
IMPSA was one of the pioneers in calculations and conceptual and verification.
developing an integral system for design.
The basic designs of the equipment start with decisions about the main operating
parameters of the equipment (power and wind characteristics - turbulence and
intensity).
From there it is necessary to design blade profiles and determine main loads, generator
parameters, main mechanical features and control strategy.
Aerodinamical Design
IMPSA was one of the world’s pioneers in having an integral system for optimal
electromagnetic and mechanical dimensioning of salient pole synchronous generators
(ARGEN), which allows equipment behaviour simulation under normal and extraordinary
conditions.
Furthermore, PROGEN Software for mechanical measurement and verification of all the
machine components has been developed, along with a library with more than 200
equipment verification programs capable of carrying out electrical and mechanical
studies.
Structural and Mechanical Design
In order to achieve this, it is necessary to apply the most advanced CAD - CAM
technology (SOLID EDGE, NASTRAN and CFX – task flow software), together with more
than 50 years of experience in the design of high complex equipment.
