After Your unforeseen departure on FridayUnit 6 of the Máximo Gómez thermoelectric plant, Del Mariel, entered online this Saturday night, without its reconnection changing the panorama.
He had left the system “due to oil pollution and vibrations in the feed pump.” But last night, about 9:00 pm, the unit was already online, the electric union reported in Facebook.
However, the electric part of this day estimates in 1620 MW the deficit during the day, and the affectation will reach 1690 MW in the afternoon, when demand increases, a prognosis slightly worse than Saturday, with a deficit of 1590 MW.
The maximum affectation due to generation capacity deficit yesterday was 1737 MW at 8:00 at night, a figure higher than planned by the entry at the wrong time of Unit 6 of CTE Mariel, pointed out unites.
To the usual difficulties the departure of October ten was added 5 “due to low demineralized water coverage”, at 8:36 last night.
Unit 6 of Mariel already had another disconnection a few days ago By “turbine regulation pump”, but He could return to the national electrical system (SEN) about three hours later, minutes before midnight.
Currently, unity 2 of the CTE Felton, the 5 of the CTE Nuevitas and the 6 of the CTE I rent. Meanwhile, units 1 and 2 of the Santa Cruz CTE and 4 of the CTE Carlos Manuel de Céspedes in Cienfuegos receive maintenance.
Last Thursday, the First Energy and Mines Deputy Minister, Algierio Jesús Abad Vigoa, said in the Round table That, as a general tendency, “the system remains operating under a state of extreme stress.”
He pointed out that the night peak schedule remains the most critical, with a maximum deficit between eight and nine at night, while added that “we are with the summer demand curve”, as a consequence of “the high temperatures that maintain a sustained demand, with a plateau instead of a punctual peak.”
To date, added the vice minister, some 32 new photovoltaic solar parks have synchronized the SEN, with a peak power of 700 MW, which adds to the 266 MW in existing parks. In addition, it is planned to finish the assembly of seven new parks, with an additional 35 MW contribution.
