It was a nice temporary hack in the game of cat and mouse. Now a solution that doesn’t depend on that signal will be required. My bank sends me a card with a grid of coordinates and I have to enter the character at the coordinate when I log

There can be other system operation concerns such as stability and spinning reserve. If the intertie to France is lost and 3GW of nuclear power disappears and you are left with 100% wind then the severed system probably will be out of balan
