The Minister of Energy and Minas of the governor of Abinader, Senor Antonio Almonte, declared last week that he will not receive the units that compose the Central Thermoelectric Punta Catalina (CTPC) for construction deficiencies, mainly and its calderas.
This affirmation is an additional failure of Sen. Almonte, which seeks to destroy its electricity plant with the aim of reducing its presence in the electricity market, which favors private generators who sell spot in the market, and create the conditions of vaca muerta.
The start of CTPC’s Unit 2 between April (this unit’s reception date) and December 2020 will be excellent. In agreement with the indicators of the Coordinating Body, the availability of this unit in the Interconnect National Electrical System (SENI) during this period is 96.2%. This figure is very high in terms of the percentage of availability availability of this type of central which is located in the entourage of 87%, which shows that the caldera of the Unidad 2, as well as the caldera of the Unidad 1, was correctly constructed and paired with the ASME code, as certified June 18, 2018 by its manufacturers (the Babcock & Wilcox stadium) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
The decision of the Superintendent of Operations, the Superintendent of Maintenance, the Jefa of the Air Quality Control System (AQCS), among other technicians, carried out by the Punta Catalina destruction squadron in conformity with the Almonte y Canario coalition, ha debilitated the ability to take decisions that ensure a good operation and maintenance of their units.
The pinch of the cold caldera in the year 2021 will be considered as a typical fall of new thermoelectric power stations, in its first two years of commercial operation. Various studies that analyze the behavior of the Indian calderas that are caused by various causes between two and a half years ago, such as the maintenance program and the good practice practices. This falls, depending on the events in a generator, are considered high probability and high impact in service hours. In general, a pinch can be repaired in a place covered between 5 and 8 days. In the case of Unit 2 of Punta Catalina, the undefeated maneuvering of the unit, which was operating on different hours when the pinch was cut, provoked more than 30 tubes of the affected caldera. If no hubies are dispatched to the Superintendents of Operation and Maintenance, who have more experience and leadership than any other technician at the exchange, hubies will immediately detain the operation and avoid the additional day in the caldera. This means that the decision to send these personnel is due to the fact that Unit 2 of the CTPC has been in service for more than two months. The commander of the Punta Catalina Destruction Squadron, Senor Almonte, stated that the original pin of the caldera had been debated and that the unit was already operating at a capacity of adequate for it. When Almonte was in the opposition, assessed by Senator Canario, signaled on various occasions that the units of Punta Catalina could only be operated to produce a gross capacity of 360 MW and now, as Minister of Energy and Minas, su mentira. On February 8, the Almonte and the country indicated that the sampling tests carried out by the McHale Associates company were delayed as a result of each unit having a net power superior to the 345 MW, which is compatible with a gross power superior to the 376 MW. To confirm that Almonte equivoca, the company Babcock & Wilcox, manufacturer of the caldera, sent on 12 February 2021 a CDEEE card in which it indicates that the calderas have the capacity to add the necessary vapor to the turbine and the generator, both manufactured by General Electric (GE), produces a gross capacity of 376 MW. With this card, Babcock & Wilcox gave me the reason for this debate over the use of the boilers. The lord Almonte, in order to make public the communication, the escort and guard silence. This statement from Babcock & Wilcox, as well as from GE at McHale, avoids Almonte operating the units by lowering its power of 376MW, benefiting from inefficient private generators that produce electricity at a much higher cost than Catalonia , energy that is being sold in the spot market at an exorbitant price, in addition to the public finances and the reserves of the Central Bank’s divisions.
Demonstrated that Almonte’s statement about the customs and quality of Punta Catalina’s calderas is a failure, did not comment on a more important topic and that it did not want to reveal public opinion. During the process of arranging Unity 2, which Almonte took place on March 4 this year, the presence of sodium chloride in the condensed water was detected. It means that during the operation operation can have produced a fissure in the condenser that allows the entry of water into the water supply circuit, which is serious, then the interior hall of the interior of the quality of the tubes that it compose. At the moment, the CDEEE has been taking steps, without any doubt, to eliminate the presence of sodium chloride in the caldera of the Union 2. This is an additional reflection of the consequences of having passed the staff key in the operation and maintenance of the central. If the target is to be destroyed in Punta Catalina, the squadron commanded by Almonte has demonstrated its greatest ability to do so.
In its most recent declarations, the lord Almonte affirms that he has established responsibilities of those who passed through Punta Catalina and are totally in agreement. It will be possible to determine that the pregnancy of the person sued in the Union 2, by the end of this year, is subject to an incorrect operation and deficient maintenance registered since August of this year.
Finally, it is lamentable that one of the most valuable state assets with which it dominates the Dominican Republic, with a construction value of 2,454 million dollars, is represented by President Luis Abinader to a human team with no qualification and experience in the operation and maintenance of a central with advanced technology that possesses the Central Thermoelectric Punta Catalina. We are assisting in the gradual and systematic destruction of this valued state asset, the target, apparently, has no debts in the government. Mientras tanto, hay fiesta en de mercado spot, donde se brinda por el excelente desempeño que realis el squadrón de la destructionie Punta Catalina.
