The #NBN is a crisis for not only telecommunications but also the electrical grid. #auspol #SmartGrid

#auspol @GilesParkinson has a lot of information here but perhaps doesn't explain some useful salient facts abot @AEMO_Media and @the_AEMC that cause the delays and what is being done. 2/
Note: Beta Testing of PSCAD modelling platform 3/ 
4/ We have lots of waffle about synchronization and base load.
Whats that?
AC propagates through the grid as a wave. It has a finite speed.
Here is a PSCAD model and the calculation of fault propagation etc.
What's faster than fault propagation?
A: Light and fibre optics

5/ Therefore the #NBN is a critical part of the #SmartGrid but is currently not bundled with it. ( Mostly ) We have it bundled in the Basslink Cable. China bundles fibre and HV also.
