A few days after the great blackout, the investigation of the causes leaves many more questions in the air. Antonio Azacuno, Energy Tempos’s CEO and Technical Director, explained in an interview at RTVE What happened To give this complete zero. “There was a large frequency swing at 12.33. When it happened, it was for a reason: because the power was created It is not balanced with the requested force. This is the only thing we know, ”said this engineer and energy expert.
As described, the Red Electrica takes charge of the “created power of the requested power.” To use adjustment services, the expert continues, ”You must have technologies with recessionStrong technologies. “
In this sense, it differs from the technologies that work with the turbine that works with hydraulics, gas and nuclear power and firm, solar and air. “Electric red, when you use its adjustment services, you can find it There is not enough technologies with the best recession for this It has been found that the situation cannot be resolved to resolve the balance between the demand and the power created, ”Acekuno said.
After living the blackout last Monday, this energy expert maintains it “You have to decide between flexibility and competition. If the energy system wants to have a lot of strength, a lot of recession, at this time it should only create coherent energies (water, gas and atomic). On the contrary, if you want to have a lot of competition, it should only be with air and solar energy. There is a balance in the compromise solution: we need to get a system with a lot of recession to solve these problems, but not competitive. “
Aceituno has mentioned the advantages and disadvantages of different types of energy. “Nuclear power has the most significant parameters. That is Provides 24 hours of energy with excellent stability. By 2024, nuclear power contributed 20% of the energy we consume and was very stable. If we distribute with nuclear power, we need to make sure that there are backup technologies, because renewable technologies have a lot of ownership, but the most important parameter of them is, that is, Fluctuation.
Briefly, “We must continue to be the power of the renewable, but our system You must continue to have enough recession To solve these kinds of problems, “he added.
Commenting on the recovery of electricity after the blackout, Asekuno commented, “Spain, in this translation, Monday is very lucky. A rainy winter and a rainy spring and water electric reservoirs touched 90% of the ability to touched the fingers. If the Hydro -Water Reservoirs on Monday They would not have been 90%and the recovery would not have been so fast. Re -implementation of our entire power system at night thanks to water turbulence, 90%, and burning horrible gas plants, ”he concluded.
