Of course Monday April 28 It will be remembered for many years because of confusion, but in turn, for stories that have been created around this unusual chapter. Spain, Portugal, Antora and South France They faced one of the worst scenes thought by experts: A energy zero, An event that marks Gross slope The electrical system of a country or region.
Energy zero Suddenly occursThe network stops supplying energy in a large and common way, disables everything and affects millions of people simultaneously. One of the obvious attributes of this event, although electricity is easy, It is a slow and hard process of retrieving it It is hours, as in bad condition, even days, especially when the reason is unknown, as it happened yesterday.
What causes energy zero?
The biggest blackout or energy zeros occurred in the world. In Italy, in 2003, millions of people suddenly lost contact, the same situation lived in India in 2012 and the most recent case, In Chile, in February this yearWhen an exchange line failed between Valanar and Kokvimbo. The reasons behind the darkness as we lived yesterday are different, From failures to important infrastructure, from cyber attacksA hypothesis that was considered throughout yesterday.
Most energy zeros are found Weather events, Storms, hurricane air, heat waves or large snowfalls cause breakdown on networks; One Network load. In times of high demand, if there is no way to create enough electricity to maintain the system, it will fall and automatically exit for safety reasons. It goes in compliance Failure in the power generation plant, Auxiliary power plants or high voltage transfer lines.
Can energy prevent zero?
It is not easy to guarantee to prevent energy zero but there are most countries Secondary systems They act in favor of, Ways to diverse the faster action protocols and energy sources This prevents the entire system from collapsing. As for Spain, with the help of France and Morocco, the system was gradually recovered, with the light.
