De grote stroomstoring in Spanje, Portugal en een stukje van Frankrijk was te wijten aan de onbalans van de netfrequentie, Die mag binnen een zeer smalle bandbreedte varieren.
Wat ik irritant vind, dat gelijk weer berichten verschijnen dat de groene transitie niet werkt en/of dat kerncentrales noodzakelijk zijn.
De reden die aan gegeven wordt is dat de massa van de draaiende stoomturbines de net frequentie perfect op 50 Hz houden. Waar aan voorbij gegaan wordt dat de meeste net apparatuur zich automatisch moet ontkoppelen als de netfrequentie te veel gaat afwijken. Kortom de rionddraaiende turbines zijn noodzakelijk. Dat is natuurlijk kul, want je kan ook de Winturbines, Solar-parken en mega batterijen vertellen dat zij actief de netfrequentie (wel centraal gestuurd) op de gewenst frequentie moeten houden. Dit is natuurlijk mijn mening. Maar de theorie achter elecktriciteits netwerken is veel ingewikkelder dan ik mij kon voorstellen, maar daar zijn toch een heel hoop knappe koppen al jaren mee bezig geweest.
Hir onder heb ik een aantal YouTube clips om genomen die ik relevant vind.
Did Renewables Cause the Blackout in Spain? with Pedro Prieto | TGS 176
Last week, Europe experienced its worst blackout in living memory, which plunged tens of millions of people across Spain and Portugal into darkness for up to 18 hours. Life screeched to a halt, with trains, traffic lights, ATMs, phone connections, and internet access failing. In the aftermath, many important questions have arisen, including: what caused such a widespread grid failure, and how can Europe and other nations prepare for the next time an event like this happens?
In today’s episode, Nate is joined by Pedro Prieto to discuss the recent blackout in the Iberian Peninsula, exploring its causes, impacts, and the role of renewable energy in the stability of the electric grid. Prieto highlights the societal and infrastructural challenges that his home country faced, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to energy management, as well as the interconnectedness of energy systems and societal resilience. The discussion delves into the complexities of energy demand and supply, the importance of backup systems, and the future of renewable energy in Spain.
Are developed countries more vulnerable to blackouts than those that are still developing? How does renewable energy act as a double-edged sword, adding stability or fragility to energy infrastructure, depending on how it's used? How might developed countries learn lessons from this widespread blackout, including policy changes or reducing energy dependence in the face of future energy challenges?
