Unidades generadoras de punta


Explanation:
Hola Poly
Los generadores de punta son aquellos que se insertan en la red eléctrica cuando hay un pico (exceso) de demanda.
En general son turbinas a gas pues deben arrancar (en frío)y en 10-12 minutos dben ser capaces de generar a su plena potencia. Un generador movido por una turbina a vapor tarda unas 10-12 HORAS (desde frío) para estar en condiciones de generar.
Normalmente los generadores de pico son costosos en términos de $/KWh generado pero cuando hace falta energía mejor tenerlos.
Saludos dos dos

Hola Poly

Best wishes
