Iberien Peninsular Blackout

Roger B

Any thoughts/information on what happened? Was it a lack of spinning reserve?

Was it " The Portuguese operator, REN, said the outage was caused by a “rare atmospheric phenomenon”, with extreme temperature variations in Spain causing “anomalous oscillations” in very high-voltage lines."

as is written in the Guardian?

Electricity restored to 90% of Spain and most of Portugal after massive power outage | Spain | The Guardian

The Italien blackout from a few years ago had a definate cause in the tripping of interconnetors from Switzerland during a storm.

    Sorry Peter, I have no knowledge of the Spanish network.  Simply trying to relate the various reports which have emerged, and what lessons are to be learnt for the operation of the grid in other countries.

    Hello Paul:

    I guess we will have to wait until there are multiple new power system failures before we get to the real root cause of this problem.
