Challenges and technical requirements for integration of renewable energy sources in Cuban electric system

Abstract:

At the beginning of the electrical industry, the demand of any locality was satisfied by the installations of generators distributed in it. Subsequently, with the increasing increase in the demand for electricity, large generating plants were started to be built, generally close to the primary sources of energy (example: coal, hydroelectric plants), which gave rise to the current large power electric systems (de Juana Sardón: 2003, Shien et al.: 2009). At present, the growth of the electricity market, accelerated technical progress and the development of capital markets was determining factors in the emergence of the development of different generation technologies, which are based on generating using relatively small plant sizes with respect to the conventional generation. This new type of generation, known as Distributed Generation, Dispersed Generation or Generation in Situ, has allowed to solve some problems that the expansion of the electrical systems present at present, such as the losses in the lines before the need to transmit the energy to great distances, increases in the volumes of investments when having to raise the levels of tension of work and to become more expensive the infrastructures of transmission, diminution of the quality of the energy that arrives at the user, etc.( Shayani & de Oliveira (2011).).
