All but one of the engines at Power Plant 1 have decreased in operational power in the last month, according to CUC\u2019s latest power generation status report. <\/p>\n
Of the three engines that are working in Power Plant 1, only engine number 3 has remained steady in the last month with 5 megawatts of power. The engine is designed to produce 7.3 watts. <\/p>\n
Engines 6 and 8 have both decreased. Engine 6 has decreased from 5.2 MW last month to 5 MW this month, according to the report. The engine is designed for 13 MW. <\/p>\n
Engine number 8, which was operating at 5 megawatts last month, was shutdown Sunday in order to move the motor to engine 6. <\/p>\n
Engine number 1 has been under maintenance since Nov. 12, 2006, while engine number 4 has been down since July 16, 2005, due to a crankpin seizure. Engine 5 has been down since April 12, 2008, because the valves injector, liner and cylinder need to be replaced. Engine 7 is undergoing alternator repair. <\/p>\n
Altogether, Power Plant 1 is designed to produce 81.2 megawatts of power, but is only coming up with 15 megawatts. <\/p>\n
All six engines are down at Power Plant 2. Engines 2, 3 and 4 are down and are waiting for parts and maintenance. Engine 1 is down due to abnormal sound from the turbocharger. Engine 5 was also stopped July 16 because of abnormal sounds from the turbocharger. Engine 6 is undergoing an adjustment of the fuel injection system. <\/p>\n
Nine of the 10 engines at privately operated Power Plant 4 are operational. Of the 20 megawatts that Power Plant 4 is designed for, 14.6 megawatts is currently available.<\/p>\n
The three plants are capable of 116.2 megawatts of power, but only 29.6 megawatts are currently available, according to the report. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
