I think the most scary thing I've seen for a long while is this statement from NESO (aka #nationalgrid ) who are *working towards* being able to fully restore the UK grid within 5 days of a collapse like Spain earlier this year #blackstart

Power systems can be restarted using large-scale, grid-forming batteries storing power from wind and solar sources as the primary restart source.
Batteries with grid-forming inverter technology are better at supporting system restart than traditional black-start generators in many respects
They are capable of energising far larger areas of the network than synchronous generators like gas, coal or hydro

Blackstart recovery
It is nonsense to blame Solar for the grid instability.
This may just have been unhappy coincidence of two separate events. It is not a surprise that the Nuclear plants tripped themselves offline.
It is not a surprise that the interconnect tripped when it saw a problem.
The question is why did the grid become unstable in the first place and not able to maintain 50Hz.

Ars Technica just discovered the term "black start," and now Spain's power grid is apparently auditioning for a disaster movie 🎬, because nothing screams 'cutting-edge journalism' like adding dramatic flair to technical challenges. Meanwhile, Spanish citizens are more concerned about #siesta schedules than imaginary Armageddons. 😴⚡

Is the Numbers Station still down in Cuba, or did they find some Diesel Fuel for a generator?

When recovering from grid failure, it is imperative that proper procedures are followed, otherwise equipment can be damaged or destoyed, making the situation worse.
And now, here comes Hurricane Oscar.

Piss Poor Planning Produces Poor Power Performance

Who is going to run the long extension cord to Cuba?
It will be US.
-
The Antonio Guiteras Plant, in Cuba is Oil fired.
If you are broke and can not buy the fuel and get it delivered, shit happens.
They should have looked into Solar.

Cuba is in a deep world of hurt, especially if a new TS or hurricane pops up.
It could be weeks.

With improved power distribution, the overall stability of the grid will improve because it is not always cloudy and calm winds everywhere.
Texas can take their independent grid and #Blackstart themselves someday. They almost had to do so.

#Climate change can alter extreme #weather events, and these events have the potential to strain, disrupt or damage the nation’s #grid. Sandia National Laboratories #computer #scientists have been working on an innovative computer model to help grid operators quickly #restore #power to the grid after a complete disruption, a process called “black start.”
