Hi guys, I am a software engineer from Uruguay. I know nothing about electricity systems. We are being told by authorities that there is no better system design than this. That is, Uruguayan network is interconnected to Argentina, what gives us more robustness. If something small/medium fails here, Argentina compensates, and viceversa. This has improved our system for many years. However, it seems to have this very improbable issue. If something big happens in Argentina (which is much bigger than us), there is no way Uruguay can supply the energy they need to keep running. Is there any other way to interconnect two electric networks (having more robustness for the normal cases) but avoiding this kind of high-impact issues? From a computer network point of view, this doesn’t make much sense, but there are physical limits here I guess... Why can’t we just have some kind of limit condition to switch the connection off, instead of trying to rescue the other network? Thanks for your explanation.
