. . . It would be interesting to know how the grid "decided" which parts of the network to shed load from - in some ways the choices made (e.g. rail traction supplies) might not have been optimal from the bigger picture point of view. . .
. . . I wonder how things might have been different if everyone had had smart meters installed - in theory then the grid could have responded by directing , via the smart meter network, low priority appliances to shut down - so spreading the load shedding almost invisibly across the whole network possibly avoiding the need for complete power cuts for anyone. . .
