Electrical outages. cyber attacks ?

aligarjon
What's the chances of the power outages and airport problems being cyber attacks.     Is that possible.   I would think so  ?

    "think Ladybower/Derwent/Howden for example"

    The trouble is that even with 350m height difference (Cruachan) the water level in the upper reservoir goes up and down like a fiddlers elbow. (The lower one is huge so it doesn't.)

    LadyBlower etc. seems to have 35m head so the MWh that could be stored is probably quite small.


    Having said that, I suspect it would be a good idea to merge wind and hydro so the wind fills the reservoirs when it blows and the electricity is generated when it is needed most.
