“Loss of wind causes Texas power grid emergency”
Wed Feb 27, 2008 8:11pm EST
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “HOUSTON (Reuters) - A drop in wind generation late on Tuesday, coupled with colder weather, triggered an electric emergency that caused the Texas grid operator to cut service to some large customers, the grid agency said on Wednesday.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “No other customers lost power during the emergency, ERCOT said. Interruptible customers were restored in about 90 minutes and the emergency was over in three hours.
ERCOT said the grid’s frequency dropped suddenly when wind production fell from more than 1,700 megawatts, before the event, to 300 MW when the emergency was declared.”
ISLAMABAD/FAISALABAD: Jhang Police said on Wednesday they arrested three terror suspects carrying two suicide jackets and chemicals in Shorkot on Tuesday night. The arrested were produced in an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Wednesday and placed on physical remand for six days in police custody, APP reported.
