Resumen

BERDELLANS ESCOBAR, Ilse  y  LOPEZ LOPEZ, Ileana. Scenario of electricity development in Cuba including nuclear power. Nucleus [online]. 2007, n.42, pp. 34-39. ISSN 0864-084X.

The electricity use in the country has maintained a sustained growth in the last years. Due to the programs to enhance the population life being, within the energy revolution program carrying out in the country, a faster growth in the electricity use is expected; even with the introduction of more efficiency equipment. In this paper the increment in the electricity usage taking into account theses programs and the introduction of nuclear power, as an option to meet the electricity demand, were analyzed. Two supply scenarios to meet the electricity demand, which include the energy development options foreseen, were studied. In the first one the electricity supply is based on fossil fuel technologies and the second one the introduction of the new generation of Pebble Bed Modular Reactor is analized. Moreover, in the second scenario, renewable technologies and combined cycles of gas were considered. The results are analyzed, and conclusions were drawn.

Palabras clave : energy demand; energy efficiency; socio-economic factor; energy sources; energy policy; sustainable development; nuclear power; renervable; energy sources; feasibility studies.
