But if I read that right, and the story's accurate, this was just a really big glitch and the utility repsonded the way it was supposed to in order to limit any further damage to the grid?
As I said earlier- it may be something simple that went wrong and all the safeguards worked. The problem may be that a helicopter saw black smoke coming from around the Turkey Point area a day or two ago...
The PIO for Turkey Point just said an equipment malfunction occured ... ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!
FPL just said a sub-station tripped. That would backload the generation plant and trip it. That would cause a big drain on the rest of the grid and that would take them down also. No big deal. More surprised it does not happen more often.
