Six days after celebrating the achievement of the 100% of renewable energySpain attributes to a rare atmospheric phenomenon The greatest blackout in the history of Spain, Portugal and part of France.
The Portuguese network operator, Ren (national electricity grid), said that the massive current interruption that hit Portugal and Spain was caused by A rare atmospheric phenomenonin particular from “extreme temperature variations” in the Spanish electricity network.
The British media LBC News (1) reported, regarding the affirmation of Ren:
“The Portuguese network operator, Ren (national electricity grid), said that the interruptions of electrical power supply in the country were caused by a breakdown in the Spanish electricity grid. This was caused by a rare atmospheric phenomenon, i.e. extreme temperature variations. These variations generated anomalous oscillations in the lines with very high tension (400 kV), a phenomenon known as the atmospheric vibration induced ‘.
Spain has not yet responded to Ren’s claims.
The sources currently operational in Spain are:
- Solar and wind: about 78%;
- Nuclear: 11.5%;
- Cogeneration: 5%;
- Gas: 3%.
It is not necessary to list i cheap damage and the inconvenience caused by this event, widely reported by the chronicles of these hours. However, this disastrous blackout represents a clear warning: an increasingly based company on renewable sources, Digital transactions and cash abolition is dangerously vulnerable. Without abundant, reliable and cheap energy, we risk building an apparently advanced company, but in reality based on mobile sands.
