      Brussels: “Digital transition and green future!”
      Spain: frantically refreshing the grid dashboard

      Just a few days after announcing a 100% weekday renewable production https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1k65mth/spain_hits_first_weekday_of_100_renewable_power/

      I would smell this is related to a cyberattack of some sort.

      Blackout is not bad. What I would like to know is; did it cause emergency shutdowns of powerplants?

      I don’t know if this is related with this outage, but recently there was a lot of warning in Greece about Photovoltaic power generation overloading the network somehow. I think it was related to the Easter vacation changing power consumption distribution. As a result they requested a large number of solar farms to disconnect from the network..

      I wonder if something similar is seen here given the growth of the solar production ….

      EDIT. Also note that Greece does not yet have any large battery arrays to store extra energy, so it is very sensitive to overproduction. I have no idea what the Spanish/Portuguese situation is in that front.

      Given the large amount of solar that was active at the moment. My hunch is that the HVDC trip lead to a voltage sag that triggered the solar inverter voltage protection and they disconnected en masse. Then, transmission protection acted and resulted in a cascade blackout.

      So very likely due to an unforeseen abundance of Solar Energy, like I [said](https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/s/8tT2camCZt).

      Edit: ELI3 version: a lot more energy supply compared to demand throws the stability of your grid off and can lead to blackouts. Seeing how disproportionally large the share of PV energy became, at this point it seems like the most evident root-cause. This is in line with the grid operators comments related to the disruptions in grid frequency.

      Imagine how much we could save the planet if we could just stop the power for a few days?

      This was a great sign to stop the suffering. We are the last generation.

      Spanish national news stations are speculating about the possibility of it being a „potential cyberattack by Russian hackers“. CEOs and higher ups of power plants and services in Spain are saying this is something that has never happened before. Very concerning.

      Yea this graph proves my [theory](https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1k9smg8/comment/mpgrrpx/?context=3). There is apprx. 10,000MW of export, which is an insane number.

      Probably one of the France – Spain interconnection opened due to fault, and the rest were over loaded then opened due to some kind of protection system. As a result, europe’s frequency dropped while Spain and Portugal’s sky rocketed. This also triggered another problems in Spain and Portugal. In the end Portugal has no power at all while some parts of the Spain has power.

      We’ll learn what exactly happened in a few months. This has to be investigated thoroughly.

      The daytime in spring and fall is the time when the ratio of asynchronous power sources such as solar and wind power increases the most, so it is possible that there was insufficient electricity grid inertia.

      Look’s everything got reduced by X percentage. Cannot deny or confirm if it’s a cyber attack but it definitely has some characteristics.

      The solar power share is considerable. So 3 possibilities in order of probability. 1: Internal cascade fault. 2: Russian cyberattack. 3: Chinese cyberattack using the Huawei online system well knowing that the russians are the first suspect and likely to be blamed instead
