Operator pledges to secure Great Britain’s electricity grid against blackouts | Energy industry
Great Britain’s energy system operator said the country’s low -carbon power network has significantly improved the monitoring of domestic electric grills to the “future evidence”.
In April, after the widespread power cuts in Spain and Portugal, the National Energy System Operator (Neso) began to work to detect dangerous fluctuations that could lead to deductions.
The Iberian Peninsula suffered a series of disorders that caused power plants to break off the network. Later in this year, an official report is expected about the reason for the incident that the system voltage has fallen to zero.
Many households and businesses remained without electricity for almost two days, prevented access to internet and mobile networks, and even broke the Madrid open tennis tournament.
Blacking has shown questions about the ability to manage a renewable energy -weighted power system, which may be more difficult than a grill reinforced by Spain’s thermal power plants.
In a report on deductions published on Tuesday, Neso promised to increase the real -time monitoring of the network by using a new “mathematical methodology için to detect problems that may lead to a power sector.
Operation Director Craig Dyke said: “Great Britain has one of the most reliable networks in the world – a record Neso, network operators and the entire energy industry to work without fatigue – it is important to explore every opportunity for learning and improvement.
“Indeed, even if the GB network was not affected, Neso would be guilty of complaints if we didn’t think about what happened in April.”
It is understood that Neso, which belongs to everyone, is working on protocols to restore power after any country -wide darkening within five days. By the end of next year, this government is waiting to meet its authority.
Energy Minister Michael Shanks said that the report is safe and flexible with strong guarantees to prevent such power cuts from being here ”.
“We have a different and robust energy system and with Neso – it is our priority to protect and strengthen it, and now we can examine any course.”
