South Australia’s energy infrastructure,
. . . was not strong enough for the force of the fierce storms of September 28,
. . . “This was pretty much a power system apocalypse":
. . . . . . 3 Main Transmission lines fell,
. . . . . . Some wind farms lost output,
. . . . . . 1/2 the state’s gas capacity was offline or unavailable,
. . . . . . or simply too slow to respond.
. . . And when the interconnector became overloaded, it too disconnected.
1) It doesn't matter, what the source of electric energy is,
. . . if the Transmission Lines are knocked down.
2) The best way to offer energy security is,
. . . Distributed Generation, with Battery Storage,
. . . which could have provided emergency electricity in mili-seconds, and
. . . this could only happen with renewable energy.
