Building a Cleaner, More Resilient Energy System in Cuba recommends numerous ways by which domestic policy in Cuba can prioritize working towards a more sustainable, resilient grid — especially by investing in the energy transition — and ways in which international cooperation can support these goals.
Every time solar and wind capacity is progressively increased, Cuban authorities will save on fuel costs and achieve environmental improvements and energy security. The money saved could be gradually reinvested in new solar and wind power installations.
In the Int-a and Int-b scenarios, Cuba still needs to import refined fuels which are mainly required by the industrial and transport sectors. Therefore, energy security can be improved by reducing the oil subproducts demanded by these activity macro sectors (i.e. MS1 and MS7).
Cuba is currently in a vulnerable energy situation since it strongly depends on the importation of fossil energy. Strategies based on intermittent RES (solar and wind) can reduce this vulnerability, but the introduction of this type of source impacts the energy system's characteristics and aspects at a country/regional scale.
Establishing reliable remote monitoring capabilities requires deploying optical fiber Ethernet ring networks that can guarantee consistent data transmission from distributed battery warehouses and PCS cabinets while overcoming distance limitations and environmental interference. The European Union has laid the foundation for this transformation with two. . Energy Management Systems (EMS) play an increasingly vital role in modern power systems, especially as energy storage solutions and distributed resources continue to expand. An EMS needs to be able to accommodate a variety of use cases and regulatory environments.
