Green energy is bidenesque.
Interesting
The inertia issue is well known among power engineers, and the situation described here was entirely predictable given the heavy penetration of “renewable’ energy into the grid.
It’s hard to imagine since the Left hates coal, that back in the 80s their biggest issue was stopping Thatcher from shutting down the coal mines.
Well, did the blackout also add to their net zero goals?
From my college days I remember learning that DC was not good at long distance transmission.
Yet, Britain and Ireland are transmitting DC across the Channel.
From my perspective, this is easy to understand. The generators that have huge rotating armatures with accompanying power plants that have huge rotating flywheels resist sudden draws on power with their inertia. It gives the speed governors (or whatever they are called in huge power plants) time to kick in and maintain power.
This simply does not exist in solar. Solar cannot accommodate a huge instantaneous demand. Wind probably can’t either
I don’t get this.
Doesn’t solar have DC to AC converters that maintain a constant desired frequency? And why would one solar installation going down cause the rest of them to not keep producing electricity at the set frequency?
bkmk
Its coming. It is going to happen, as sure as God made little green apples, it is going to happen.
Maybe later to us than to them, but it is going to happen.
Insanity. They know the problem, yet they press forward.
Oopsie. There has to be a backup or standby for everything else to synchronize to, in order to bring them back online. That’s most likely a fossil fueled machine.
Sometimes the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine. Especial if the Gates family is applying heavy duty Sun-Block.
I have a small list of the email addresses of email scammers that I use for just this purpose.
Screw Britain. They made their own bed, and can sleep in it. They never learned any lessons from two World Wars, not even after we saved their asses twice. They’re getting what their hand calls for. The British Empire “where the sun never sets” now wants to dim the sun on its own people. They have shit weather as it is. Must be they want to kill more of their people than fix the problems they already have.
