Most stains on the electricity grid in the US are due to an ancient structure that cannot handle peak needs, mostly in the hot summer months. Tomorrow, there may be a new and more severe problem. This is large solar storms on the Sun.
Climate Problems –Slow Renewables Now
April –The Hottest Ever
According to a bulletin, “NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) — a division of the National Weather Service — is monitoring the sun following a series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that began on May 8.”
Grid Threat
Additionally, “Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earth’s surface, potentially disrupting communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations.”
The worry about grid capacity has been a concern for some time. These solar storms could cause blackouts. The agency said grid operators should take “protective measures.” That is, almost certainly impossible.
