Far from recovering Electric generation in Cuba He has continued in the last days.
Yeah yesterday There were seven thermal units out of service, on the morning of this Friday that figure had climbed to ten after the departure of more blocks in the last 24 hours.
According to The Electric Union (UNE) this Thursday disconnected unit 8 of the Mariel’s thermoelectric plant “for poor technical condition of the output transformer” and unit 6 of rent by a breakdown in the 6 kV line.
This last failure, occurred in machine 4, also “caused a low technique and in turn a fire that was stifled by the body of the brigade of the thermoelectric plant and firefighters,” according to Another publication of the UNE that does not detail the magnitude of the damage.
In this way, the current state of Renté is critical, since its three operating blocks are again disconnected, after several days of continuous entries and exits. Block 3, for example, entered and left the national electrical system (SEN) on Wednesday and also yesterday.
In addition, there are two units of the Mariel in Avería, two from Santa Cruz del Norte in maintenance, while Felton’s 2 has been stopped for several years as a result of a fire and the 4 of Cienfuegos remains subject to a long and delayed repair.
Of the blocks outside the Sen today It only has the reinstatement of the unit 5 of Nuevitas, another in the last hours because yesterday morning It was not reported Among the broken.
Fuel and lubricants
To the fall in the thermal generation, an increase in the fuel deficit is joined in the distributed generation. Today there are 66 central stops for that cause, which will stop producing 556 MW, while 157 MW are indispononable due to lack of lubricant.
None of those MW will recover on this day, not even in the night peak, when the predicted availability will be just 1470 MW, 300 less than yesterday and just 50 MW than the existing one at 6:00 in the morning.
At that time, the affectation was already 1274 MW, while the official estimate for noon is similar: 1200 MW.
In the midst of this complex scenario, the UNE foresees a maximum affectation on the night of 1900 MW —Mayor to the registered yesterday (1842 MW) -, although that figure could be left again to occur some new breakage or unforeseen break, or if the demand is greater to the official prognosis (3300 MW) for that time strip.
