What Actually Happens If Britain's Power Grid Fails?

Описание: What would happen if Britain suffered a complete electricity blackout?

Our power grid has to balance electricity generation and demand every second. When that balance fails, automatic protection systems can disconnect parts of the network to prevent a much larger collapse.

In this documentary, we explain how Britain's electricity grid works, what happened during the August 2019 power disruption, and the extraordinary emergency procedure designed to restart the network after a complete shutdown.

From Black Start to small power islands and the future of Distributed ReStart, this is how Britain could bring the lights back on.
