Some 12 diesel engines of 1.88 megawatts each are currently installed in the blind of Ávila, donated by China, to boost distributed generation and feed the depressed Electric generation On the island.
The engines, part of A 25 donationare mounted on January 1 (two engines), Ciro Redondo (DOS) and Ceballos (eight) under the supervision of the company of Electrical Groups and Electrical Services (Geysel), OK With a report from Cubadebate.
In the province, the medium adds, only the Morón diesel power plant had been available with its eight engines.
The installation, which includes spare parts for maintenance, is scheduled to conclude on October 20 in January 1 and Ciro Redondo, and on October 28 in Ceballos, with evidence assisted by Chinese specialists.
According to Yarisnelis González Cruz, Chief Operator in Ciro Redondo, we work on the construction of the socio -administrative building and in the coupling of the technical part for the next few weeks to have the possibility of generating electricity.
The project, which adds 37.9 MW to the province, involves Brigades by Geysel, the industrial technical services company and a local MSME.
The donation
At the end of September Cuba received a new donation from China consisting of 25 diesel engines for the generation of electricity, distributed in the provinces of Matanzas, Ciego de Ávila, Artemisa and Havana.
Delivery occurs at a time when they suffer blackouts up to twenty hours a day in several regions, according to the Official Gazette Granma.
China delivers 25 electrogen groups to Cuba in the middle of prolonged blackouts
The equipment, diesel fed, will allow almost completely rehabilitating that installation and reaching a generation of between 25 and 30 MW.
Its main advantage is that they can quickly start in total blackout situations, a scenario that the country has repeatedly lived in the last year, said Mario Pedroso, director of the company of electric groups and electrical services of the electricity union.
This cooperation adds to other recent Beijing donations, as electrical components and complete photovoltaic parks, which seek to support the country in the midst of the energy crisis.
Far from recovering, the electricity generation in Cuba has remained 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.
For this day, the electric union (UNE) advertisement The disconnection of Unit 8 of the Mariel’s thermoelectric plant “for poor technical condition of the output transformer” and unit 6 of I rent for a fault in the 6 kV line.
In addition, the current state of the 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 Sen on Wednesday and also yesterday.
To the fall in thermal generation an increase in the fuel deficit is added 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.
