A grid that relies on transmission to that degree will require unifying some disparate grids won't it? Also it seems horribly vulnerable to attacks digital or physical.
- afterburner 6y agoIf you're worried about attacks, you should be even more worried about nuclear.
- Enginerrrd 6y agoNot really. This is actually a primary design consideration taken very seriously at nuke plants. The same can NOT be said about the rest of the grid, and renewable generation facilities.
- afterburner 6y ago> This is actually a primary design consideration taken very seriously at nuke plants. Yeah, because they're so dangerous. If you're worried about the grid, you were always worried. We use a grid now, and in the past. Massive near-continent wide failures happened before major renewable use.
- galangalalgol 6y agoProtecting single facilities is very hard, protecting an entire grid seems impossible. Ild hope for a decentralized grid where every generator, user, and conveyer of electricity was assumed to potentially be a subverted actor. But that seems super hard.
