Why wasn't it better planned for?</div><div><br></div><div>It appears little was done to mitigate if breakers kicked in to drop them off the grid. Yes breakers needed to kick in BUT no one looked at powering up base load ahead of the time to restore the system. Coal or to a lesser extent gas fired generators take time to wind up to speed ie several hours. Surely they could have been 'fired' up ahead of time. </div><div><br></div><div>Some one also forgot wind is useless in very high winds. You have to turn them off or they 'destroy' themselves. There are already reports of political finger pointing.</div><div><br></div><div>The issue has become politicised already, as South Australian Senator
Nick Xenophon called the state government's renewable energy strategy
"wreckless". Xenophon told the ABC "this is a textbook case of how not
to do it" and "if heads have to roll, then so be it."</div><div><br></div><div>Chris</div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> AusNOG <<a href="mailto:ausnog-bounces@lists.ausnog.net">ausnog-bounces@lists.ausnog.net</a>> on behalf of John Edwards <<a href="mailto:jaedwards@gmail.com">jaedwards@gmail.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Wednesday, 28 September 2016 8:01 PM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> Bradley Amm <<a href="mailto:Bradley.Amm@telethonkids.org.au">Bradley.Amm@telethonkids.org.au</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Cc: </span> "<<a href="mailto:ausnog@lists.ausnog.net">ausnog@lists.ausnog.net</a>>" <<a href="mailto:ausnog@lists.ausnog.net">ausnog@lists.ausnog.net</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> Re: [AusNOG] Adelaide Power Issue<br></div><div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div dir="auto"><div><div style="direction: inherit;">Lights, lifts, gensets, carpark boom gates, traffic chaos.</div><div style="direction: inherit;"><br></div><div style="direction: inherit;">But the standout DR surprise was electric hand driers in the office bathroom, damnit!</div><div style="direction: inherit;"><br></div><div style="direction: inherit;">John</div><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 28 Sep. 2016, at 5:52 pm, Bradley Amm <<a href="mailto:Bradley.Amm@telethonkids.org.au">Bradley.Amm@telethonkids.org.au</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
