3 Jan 2024 IFA Interconnector fault causes 49.2Hz frequency event On 22 December, a fault on the IFA Interconnector between France and the UK caused a 49.2Hz frequency event leading to a loss of 2GW on the UK grid. Discussed on LinkedIn by Roger Hollies, chief technology officer at Arenko Group, the frequency dropped to 49.55Hz in four seconds. Hollies explained that the grid disturbance was so deep that this then “caused a trip of multiple generators in Scotland and over the next 20 seconds sent the frequency plummeting to risky low levels”. Speaking exclusively to Current±, Shivam Malhotra, senior consultant at LCP Delta, explained that IFA1 is made of two completely independent bipole cables (1GW each). This means that half the cable can be on outage without affecting the other half. On 22 December, IFA1 was already on a half outage, and this event caused a full outage due to a fault on the 2nd cable. Please continue reading here: https://lnkd.in/dkCsyzMp

Have you ever thought about modelling networks with intertrip breakers in IPSA? Electrical networks comprise of circuit breakers that are normally open, so that electricity can’t flow through it and circuit breakers that are normally closed. If the status of a circuit breaker is changed from open to closed, or from closed to open, it will change the way the power flows through a network. Intertrip group in IPSA will allow you to define breakers in IPSA to simulate intertrip operation/perform automated switching operation between breakers in IPSA. #ipsa #ipsapower #tnei #ipsa50 #simplypowerful #powersystemsolutions #powersystemanalysis #powersystemanalysissoftware #electricalengineering #powersystems #electricalenergy #netzero

Every NEC version should naturally include clarifications and adjustments as systems develop, especially in dynamic areas like solar and storage. Here are a few changes that were made to the 2020 NEC for people who are getting ready to switch to the 2023 edition.

Regulators request more time to agree on the amended Hansa methodology for cross-zonal capacity calculation methodology for the balancing timeframe   📅 On 17 January 2024, the National #RegulatoryAuthorities (#NRAs) of the Hansa #capacity calculation region requested a six-month extension from ACER to agree on the #Transmission #SystemOperators’ (#TSOs’) proposed cross-zonal capacity calculation methodology for the balancing timeframe in the Hansa region.   🌍 The Hansa region comprises 6 countries: Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Sweden. What is the methodology about? 💡 The cross-zonal capacity calculation methodology for the balancing timeframe describes the rules for each Capacity Calculation Region (CCR) on how to calculate the amount of capacity available for the exchange of #balancing #energy or for operating the imbalance netting process.   ⚡ This methodology is relevant for ensuring a balance between the electricity’s generation and consumption and support TSOs as they are ultimately responsible to ensure the stability of the #electricity #TransmissionSystem and to effectively run its operations.   What are the next steps? ⏳ ACER intends to act promptly on this request, aiming to reach a decision by mid-March.

NECA is deeply concerned about proposals to reduce ring-fencing requirements for energy companies. NECA is advocating for the removal of loopholes in the requirement and greater transparency in reporting to give our ASP’s a fair go. The recent article, "Eddy has bought an EV, only now that there is a charger on his street" (Sydney Morning Herald, 25 June 2024), highlights the critical importance of maintaining and reviewing the ring-fencing guidance to ensure fair competition and consumer protection. NECA have advocated to Ministers State and Federal, in our continued efforts to maintain a fair and competitive electricity services market! #NECA #EnergyRegulation #FairCompetition #ConsumerProtection #Ringfencing #Electrical Contractors

Casey Murphy, PE and our utility project teams have worked with multiple utilities in the US for a few years on this specific issue. They have strongly recommended the same baselining that NERC is referencing here. Casey and many others in our Networks, Integration & Automation (NIA) team at Burns & McDonnell can help you assess your risks and plan for the future. Let's discuss if you have questions!
