The installation of Bess storage systems (Battery Energy Storage system) began in several solar parks of the island, while the deficit of generation It would remain this Sunday around 1700 MW.
“Bess are systems that store electrical energy in batteries for later use, especially in renewable generation such as solar,” says the text, of which echoes Cubadebate.
According to the journalist José Miguel Solís, on Facebook, also the so -called “concentrating units” will be installed in the 220 Cueto Electric Substations, Bayamo 220, Cotorro 220 and Havana 220. Each can store 50 MW.
The Bess store the excess energy produced by the solar parks during the day to supply it when the generation is low or when the demand is high. This allows a more stable and continuous energy supply, in addition to optimizing the use of solar energy, points the information.
In addition, they use lithium -ion batteries due to their high energy density and low maintenance. They include not only batteries, but also investors, management and control systems that coordinate loading and download to guarantee efficiency and safety.
The news was released on the same day in which the departure of a Turkish pinn was announced for “commercial reasons.”
These Pisanas, at the time, had represented a relief before the endless energy crisis suffered by the National Electrical System (SEN).
In fact, for the Sunday day, the Electric Union (UNE) at the peak schedule will face an availability of 2095 MW in the face of a maximum demand of 3700 MW, for a 1605 MW deficit, so it predicts an affectation of 1675 MW.
In its part, it again notifies breakdowns in Unit 2 of the CTE Felton and Unit 5 of the CTE ten of October, while there are three units in maintenance of different thermoelectric plants, in addition to 392 MW out of service due to thermal limitations, and follow the problems due to lack of fuel.
Yesterday the service was affected 24 hours a day and the maximum affectation due to generation capacity deficit was 1756 MW at 9:10 p.m., not coinciding with the time of maximum demand, according to UNE.
The energy production of the 24 new photovoltaic solar parks was 2360 MWh, with 520 MW as a maximum power delivered at the average schedule with this generation source, he pointed out.
