NEW DELHI: What does the world's one and only super power do when it faces power blackouts? I DOUBT 'the grid' in India has EVER faced a sudden loss of 1100 to 2200 MW of 'load' (as HAPPENED a week ago Thursday) - RESULTING in a power 'swell' into the rest of the system (to the east) that then caused lines and power plants to 'trip' off line ... this last blackout (2003) plus the 1965 NE blackout make for TWO cases now where this effect has been seen.
