Lessons from the blackout: What to do to prevent an electric zero from happening again

According to various technical reports so far, the blackout was due to the inability to control tension incidents and the combination of many factors.

Tomorrow marks one year since the April 28 blackout that left the entire Iberian penitsula without electricity. The reports published so far on what happened on that day indicate that it was due to the combination of many factors and the inability to control the tension.  

INCREASE STABILITY

The measures taken so far have been aimed at strengthening and improving the stability of the electrical system, some of which are already in force. 

The Aelec Association, which brings together large electric companies such as Endesa, Iberdrola or EDP, has reported that procedures have been updated to help control tension dynamically, although it has acknowledged in statements to EFE that the impact is still limited because few facilities still have the possibility of establishing dynamic control.
