· The model, presented by Professor Gironella to Spanish university students, is a clear example of how to get real savings and identify potential energy savings
· Aener Energia, a leading manufacturer of automatic capacitor banks, is one of three companies worldwide that have obtained approval for participation in the project of Cuba
Thus, students of the University of Alcala de Henares and CITCEA of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia have seen the conference of “Reducing losses in distribution networks using reactive power compensation in industrial and services facilities of high incidence in the National Electro Energetic System (SEN ". In them, Prof. Gironella has expressed the need for short-term improvements in Cuban distribution networks by reducing energy and voltage losses, considering the results of the studies of reactive power compensation previously conducted by the CIPEL to large industrial or service consumers.
Purpose of the model: reducing energy losses in distribution and capacity release in lines and distribution transformers
The model is primarily aimed at reducing power losses in power distribution, thereby recovering generation capacity and distribution without new investment, and capacity release on lines and distribution transformers. Improving the voltage quality in those circuits that present energy losses, together with the elimination of electrical penalties in the electric bill of consumers that help reduce production costs and to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, both local and national range has allowed S.E.N. and U.N.E. (Electric Union of Cuba) to get real savings and identify potential energy saving since 2005.
Installation of capacitors: reduced energy losses of electricity networks
The reduction of energy losses in Cuban distribution networks is one of the fundamental tasks that the country has been raised within the framework of the Energy Revolution.
Due to the impact on energy losses in electric networks and the impact on costs, installation of capacitors has been a recurring theme for the governments of the Cuban state. According to the study of Gironella, and from the technical point of view, the installation of capacitors, as close as possible to the load that consumes reactive power is the best solution and the most energy saving.
For this project, has counted on the participation of Aener Energia, only Spanish company among the three selected worldwide, who has installed 500 equipments approved by the UNE.
