The Antonio Guiteras Thermoelectric Central Finally, it synchronized the National Electrical System (SEN) after several days in repairs due to a break.
His post occurred at 2:45 in the morning of this Friday, and not yesterday afternoon, yesterday, As I had foreseen Electric union (UNE). For this reason, the affectation in the night peak was 1848 MW, a value higher than the planned, according to the entity.
Hours before, the journalist José Miguel had notified in networks On the ignition of the boiler at night and had confirmed that the work carried out at the plant had been “very complex”, as explained by its director, Rubén Campos Olmos.
However, the manager pointed out that, despite this, “the objectives were consolidated” that the generation must facilitate and “ostensibly reduce water consumption”, while “corrective tasks were performed on various fronts, in order to eliminate threats and consolidate more time of online permanence”, which cataloged as “a true challenge before the technical obsolescence of the block”.
In your partthe UNE does not clarify how much the Guiteras was already generating on the morning of this Friday, although presumably must still be in the process of climbing loads to reach the expected power, which must be above 250 MW, as explained when it came out of maintenance couple of weeks ago, before reporting the most recent breakdown.
More planned entries
Already with the Matancera online plant, the affectation at 7:00 am was 1333 MW and at noon 1330 MW of deficit, two high figures for that time slot, were expected, even with the contribution of the new photovoltaic solar parks.
On the other hand, for the night peak, the UNE provides a decrease in the deficit compared to previous days. At that time, the affectation must amount to 1460 MW, about 400 MW less than yesterday and about 600 MW below the negative record of July 21 (2054 MW).
This decrease is based on the presumable entry of two of the thermal units that are currently outside the SEN: the 3 of Renté and the 5 of the Mariel, each with 60 MW. In its part, the UNE does not clarify that other blocks are still outside, although it does notice that thermal limitations will be almost 500 MW on this day.
In addition, for the night it is also planned that 100 MW will be incorporated in engines of the distributed generation of the almost 800 that are out of fuel.
If any of these inputs do not occur, or the demand exceeds the provision of 3500 MW at night, then the deficit predicted by the UNE will remain below and the affectation will be greater, although for that time much of the country will have been in a long time of blackout, as it has been happening for months on the island.
