It doesn't matter what kind of power you are sourcing, if the infrastructure is destroyed by a freak weather event you are going to have a blackout



You mean they had no redundancy in the infrastructure?


My thoughts exactly.




Having redundancy cost money.
Shareholders profits will be affected if there is redundancy


I was wondering about redundancy in my quote below

Quote:
Were both interconnectors in operation before the failure? John Smith suggested one was out for maintenance , now I realise that was the case in the previous failure (July?) but am not sure about Wednesdays event. I gather one interconnector comes into the state up near Berry and the other way down the bottom of the state  somewhere around Mt Gambier , does this mean regardless of where the failure occurred within the state, both would shut down. That is assuming both were working


I wondered if the two interconnectors were working would both have been taken out by the infrastructure failure near Port Augusta or do they all sit across the whole network on some parallel arrangement so all are affected. I doubt this would be the case in NSW or Vic.

Seems NSW has three networks so total outage is probably unlikely and of course more generators
