Blackout in Spain

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The section Inertial response#Declining inertia causing difficulties in grid frequency management is written using news sources, a day after the event. At this point this information is at best a speculation, so I am moving it here until more robust sources are available. The article is too generic to have news in it, IMHO. That said, I would bet significant money on the idea that the peculiarities of the inverter-based resources, including the lack of inertia, would feature prominently in the final result of investigation of this blackout.

=== Declining inertia causing difficulties in grid frequency management ===

The decline in inertia due to greater reliance on variable generation was mentioned as a possible factor in the 2025 European power outage concentrated in Spain and Portugal.^[1] At the time of the start of the incident on the grid, 80% of power was being generated locally by solar and wind resources, and experts pointed out that a rapid frequency imbalance in the low inertia environment could have exacerbated or widened the blackout.^[2]
