Getting the power back on
Disruption to travel, no access to money, problems with telecommunications and petrol pumps rendered out of service – these are just some of the issues that would be faced by the public in the event of a blackout. “Catastrophic” is the word used by Peter Chandler (pictured below), project lead for the Distributed ReStart project at National Grid ESO, to describe the extent of the problems caused in this situation. Nor would the effects be over in a hurry, with Chandler indicating that restoring full power across the whole country could take up to a week in a “Black Start” scenario.
