- Proven 6y agocentral planning = bad planning If central planners didn't subsidize renewables there wouldn't be as many problems.
- 99_00 6y agoWhat do you mean by bad planning. Are you talking about planning that is flexible and responsive to pick up the slack. For example, a high demand day that is cloudy and not windy?
- MayeulC 6y agoI am talking about designing a grid to be robust, and has enough spare capacity to handle difficulties without failing catastrophically. For critical infrastructure, you design for worst-case scenarios, inflate the safety margins, and make backup plans (like a plan to gracefully degrade service). Failing this and cutting corners is what I would call bad planning.
