Inside the SEN reconnection (+photos and video).

Today we narrate the moment that took place before 2:44 p.m. at the 220 kV substation in the town of Canta Rana, Cienfuegos.

We are fortunate to have friends in the electricity sector, such as Professor José Ricardo Muñoz Morgado, a specialist in transmission systems and member of the International Certification Commission for operators of electrical substations, which allows us to know almost daily details and tensions in the sector.

Today, naturally with his approval, we are telling you about the moment that took place before 2:44 p.m. at the 220 kV substation in the Cienfuegos town of Canta Rana.

It turns out that the specialists of the National Load Dispatch decided – because it was the exact point – to close the National Electric Power System (SEN) at the substation operated at that time by young Osmany Rieche Quintana and Iván Bermúdez García. You can imagine the exchange of glances between them.

Normally it is a usual operation for specialists, but…, after almost four days of interruption of the SEN, to operate the switch at the right time and not to make a mistake was already a challenge in view of the national expectation.

It is worth mentioning that during last Friday’s disconnection of the SEN, Osmany and Iván were also working together and now, taking responsibility for the reconnection generated a feeling difficult to express.

With the guidance of the National Load Dispatch (DNC) and their eyes fixed on the synchronoscope, a kind of equipment that shows the ideal moment to flip the breaker, Osmany and Ivan checked voltage, frequency and other parameters to flip the breaker at the exact moment of synchronization.

Needless to say that even with the parameters in order, there is an essential element, and that is to know how to operate the switch with total concentration and cold blood, tenths of seconds before the synchronoscope reading coincides.

And so it was: at 2:44, a firm and young hand connected the West with the East in a duo that, perhaps tomorrow, because today they continue their work, will be able to celebrate a victory for many and for all.

…ONLINE VIDEO.

Of course, from the DNC they were congratulated and rightly so, because young people like Osmany and Iván, consecrated the efforts of thousands of workers in the electric sector with a firm hand and serenity that was foolproof.
