Initial reflections on this morning's second, more detailed @ng_eso report to @ofgem on the 9th August #powercut cut
Confirms many things in the initial report, including timeline, lighting strike as original cause and fact that three separate sets of generation went offline. Provides more interesting details in several key areas
Hornsea 1: confirms reason for it taking itself offline was unexpected reaction to voltage fluctuation on NG connection due to lightning strike. Ref to "insufficiently damped electrical resonance" & graph suggests control system somehow amplified fluctuations, causing switch off

A #powercut can happen anytime. Thankfully in the UK they're usually resolved quickly. But what if...?

⚡️Call 105 ⚡️Do NOT call your electricity supplier. Electricity suppliers sell consumers energy and are not responsible for the power lines that connect homes or business. Distribution network operators (DNOs) are responsible and when you call 105, you will be put through.

Very clear report from @ng_eso to @ofgem on the 9th August #powercut ofgem.gov.uk/system/files/d…. Few takeaways:
Generation was lost from three sources in quick succession: local, small-scale generators, two units of Hornsea one wind farm, and Little Barford gas-fired power station
The implication is that all three were triggered by a lightning strike on a transmission line just south of the Little Barford station. This caused the local generation to trip out, which would be expected (and easily covered - 500MW)
OFGEM - the UK Government's energy regulator - are the biggest obstacle to making full use of #Scotland's #renewable #energy resources.
Energy policy is reserved to the UK Government, so there's absolutely nothing the Scottish Government can do about #Ofgem.

Here's a BBC article where Ofgem have supposedly given the "green light" for the first ever grid connection to Shetland.
(Believe it or not, we're in 2019 and the UK has never bothered to connect #Shetland to the National Grid.)

Unfortunately, approval for the grid connection to Shetland is conditional on the UK Government funding a wind farm project there, which will in turn be conditional on being able to transmit power to the National Grid.
Catch-22.

Major power failures reported across large areas of the UK, affecting trains, airports and traffic lights bbc.in/2KEaNgC
Network Rail says trains across large parts of England were stopped after a "power surge on the National Grid" but its signalling system has now come back online

National Grid says the outage was caused by "issues with two power generators" but says the problem has now been resolved

To begin, let's take a look at this video from 🇺🇸@CDCgov which looks at emergency food stocks for household preparedness. Their advice is equally valid no matter where in the world you are.

The US @KitCookOff campaign, supported @CDCgov, is running for quite a few years. It is not only super practical for preparedness but also great fun, especially if you are new and unsure what personal preparedness is all about.
