Did ‘induced atmospheric vibration’ cause blackouts in #Europe? An #electrical engineer explains the phenomenon

#Portugal’s grid operator #REN was quoted as blaming the event on a rare phenomenon known as “induced #atmospheric #vibration”. REN has since reportedly refuted this.

But what is this vibration? And how can #energy systems be improved to mitigate the risk of widespread blackouts?

The ConversationDid ‘induced atmospheric vibration’ cause blackouts in Europe? An electrical engineer explains the phenomenonWhatever caused the blackout in Spain and Portugal, it highlights the vulnerabilities in some electricity grids.
#Blackouts#grid#electricity

I saw something celebratory go by about Spain managing a day powered totally by renewable energy sources recently, and yet today they've been hit by a blackout.

This highlights how, while renewable energy is an excellent step forward, a transition towards networks of microgrids is an important step the world needs to embrace for more resilient, robust and adaptable operation.

" The US could essentially double the capacity of its #ElectricalGrid overnight by plugging renewables projects into old fossil fuel power plants, University of California Berkeley researchers found, whether they be coal, gas or oil. And projects could be plugged into existing plants, not just ones that are retiring. "

To arrive at their breakthrough, the study researchers combined two prior approaches: the original solution that treated #networks as #traffic; and a later one that instead viewed them as an #ElectricalGrid.

"There is more #electricity from #SolarPower alone waiting to get on the grid than the entire amount of #energy currently on the grid. To combat the #ClimateCrisis and increase the amount of cheap energy from clean sources like #wind and #solar, the US needs more modern transmission lines."
