Annoying duty to restore Europe’s power
“You have to predict that any failure that can happen, and you have to survive each of them,” says Kaf. From the control room, engineers need to be able to tell what parts of the network are definitely working so that the flight is not blinded – but it still takes time.
“Even with a completely healthy network, doing this can take 12 hours or 16 hours,” says Kaf. “It is like collecting the sophisticated IKEA hell furniture.”
The biggest issue is that, without a clear reason for the first place, it will be difficult for engineers to know that they will resuscitate the power first without any interruption.
“The challenge is to constantly match supply and demand,” says Flax of Weld. “You have to do this balanced action, not just connect everything to there.” Welding describes it as “in opposition”.
“When a tree is placed on a power line, you eventually crush a small piece of the network. It is a pain. One hundred houses become black, a crew comes and re -connects them,” says Joshi. This is the same thing, but on a huge scale. “When you have a silence like what we see in Spain and Portugal, the challenge of mapping and demand is ridiculously complicated,” he said. “Every time you connect a new piece of households, you have to do the same balancer action. The generators that generate electricity must have a new demand.”
Ren (Red Eletica Nacative), the main power operator in Portugal, made a statement to the BBC, saying the cut was caused by “severe temperature changes in Spanish interior. In very high voltage lines (400 kV), there is a known phenomenon as” the resulting vibration caused by it. “
“I scratched my head toward it,” says Kaf. He explains that both networks of the country may be run by national operators, but they come together as a coordinated network, which means that if one side fails – it does – it is not completely unexpected.
When it comes to the network retreat, both operators are alone. Ian Roseno, the vice president of the global strategy in the Supervisory Aid Project, a NGO, a NGO, is advancing the innovation of politics and intellectual leadership in the energy community. Spain and Portugal’s collective connection capacity to the rest of Europe – that is, how much of their energy can use or send it to a broader continent – about 6 % is much lower than the EU’s 2030 goal.
