Re: Major power outage hits the country
Quote:
On Friday evening, there were reports that the problems may have been caused by
issues at a gas-fired power station – and at a wind farm off the coast of Yorkshire.
‘What happened is a major offshore wind generation site and a gas turbine failed at the
same time,’ Devrim Celal, of Upside Energy in London, a contractor with National Grid,
was reported saying. ‘There was a significant shortage of generation, and that sudden
drop created ripple effects across the country.’

What are the chances of a Wind Farm producing no power.
