The total cuttings in the electric supply widely cut off the Iberian Peninsula on Monday and some areas of France for several hours without electricity, unknowingly.
In different parts of Portugal, today’s closed trade and recovery, pharmacies have been unable to sell drugs, heavy traffic and street traffic lights.
What is blackout?
The most common causes are related to extreme phenomena such as storms, lightning or strong winds. However, during blackout, these factors are not for weather conditions.
Another thing that causes blackout is that there are defects in power plants, power distribution routes, substations or other parts of the system.
How is power restored?
After a wide power cut, you need to call ‘Black Start’ to start the power grid from scratch.
The process is gradually done as each center is connected to the network one by one, that is, not connected at the same time.
But after all, what caused the blackout on the Iberian Peninsula? Computer attack?
“We can dismiss the cyber security incident in Red Electric facilities so far,” said the Director of Operations at Red Electric Electric (REE) in Eduardo Prito at Madrid.
After a while, the Spanish National Court Judge Jose Louis Kalama announced a preliminary investigation to find out whether the blackout computer attack on the Spanish critical infrastructure could have been attacked.
Already early in the afternoon, the Spanish Prime Minister said that all the hypothes were open.
Pedro Sanchez said that “the Spanish government reaches the back of the matter” and in the wake of resolutions, adopts rebuilding and necessary actions “so that it does not happen again”, as well as “demanding all the responsibilities for private operators”
Renewable forces?
The President of the Power Grid of Spain, which runs the Beatriz corridor, has separated the high penetration of Blackout Renade.
“It is not true that the incident is so severe on Monday as the penetration of reproduction is not true. This is not right,” said the company’s president Red Electric (REE) Interview with Radio Cadena.
The Beatriz corridor stressed it Reproduction already works “stable”“With the mechanisms that already allow practically working as technology, traditionally”.
“There is no problem with the generation (renewable), we have already worked in the system of regenerative conditions that enter the system without any security problem,” he said.
The President of the RE stressed that the generation of energy with renewable resources had “extraordinarily penetrating rates on the Iberian peninsula”, the days of responding to all electricity consumption.
“We are conducting this system in general in recent years in high penetration of reproductive,” he said, insisting that there was no other conditions in the generation of reproductive generation and inter -connection on Monday. “
The Beatriz corridor is “not the” cause “of the” blackout “and the” mixture of power generation “is” safe “and” all electrical system can be involved in safety systems “.
The electric Red said that “more or less” causes were identified
In the same interview with Radio Cadena Ser, the Beatriz corridor causes continuing to investigate, but it “More or less localized”Without giving more details.
The President of the Red Electrician insisted that the concrete generation was turned off and that it was necessary to analyze one thousand of the second behavior of the system to find out.
“There are millions of data. He insisted that every thousand per second per second,” he insisted on the reason for not being able to make a resolution.
The Committee examines the reasons of blackout
The European Network of Electricity Transport Network Managers has announced that it will create a committee to investigate the causes of the “extraordinary and serious” blackout.
The company said it would “investigate the necessary reasons, describe a comprehensive analysis and proceed with the recommendations in the final report, and that all the details of the incident will be comprehensively displayed.
