Spanish term

partidas y detenciones

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation renewables
This seems to be one term / goes together, pls see below thanks re non conventional energy sources

Sin embargo, también existirían impactos negativos en el parque convencional térmico del SING, especialmente en las centrales de ciclo combinado (CCG).
Se incrementarían los requerimientos de reserva en giro y, para las condiciones evaluadas, las centrales a carbón se mantendrían en base, pero con muchas horas a mínimo técnico.
Por otra parte, las CCG, al ser más flexibles, por su mayor tasa de toma de carga, serían las encargadas de ejercer el balance entre demanda neta (demanda bruta menos generación renovable esperada) y generación, ante rampas causadas por la variabilidad propia del recurso ERNC solar y eólico.
Lo anterior implica un gran número de partidas y detenciones (cycling) de estas centrales durante el año, y por ende un aumento en la frecuencia de mantenimientos.

starts and stops

This is what comes to mind.

CMI heat recovery boilers (HRSG) are particularly suitable for cycling operation (frequent starts and stops of electric power plants depending on electricity demand) and can be installed behind turbines burning all types of fuels.

To accommodate higher amounts of wind and solar power on the electric grid, utilities must ramp down and ramp up or stop and start conventional generators more frequently to provide reliable power for their customers – a practice called cycling.

A concern has been raised by some power producers that these two drivers could combine in a way that might require many facilities to start and stop multiple times a day to fill the gap. Some have concluded that the solution is to add more simple cycles, but recent research with advanced dispatch modeling suggests that a balanced portfolio of flexible gas-fired combined cycles and simple cycles—very similar to a mix one might have chosen before renewables—is a better option for the future.
