It was a sunny that the grid could not handle.
They say you can have too much of a good thing, but is it really true? It would seem so for one Czech energy company that was forced to unplug hundreds of solar panels on Easter Monday after they generated more power than the grid could handle.It was particularly sunny that day and so power production were high. This did not bode well for the company, which had no energy storage plan in place.
“What we have been saying for a long time has been proven. The Czech Republic is not ready for the renewable boom because there is a complete lack of storage capacity,” Jan Krčmář, executive director of the Czech Solar Association, told Czech news organization Seznam Zprávy.“During sunny weather, solar panels can often produce more energy than the grid - the transmission network through which electricity is moved - can use,” said the news outlet.
“If this energy can’t be stored anywhere, it causes instability in the grid, damaging electrical equipment. In extreme situations, these voltage fluctuations can lead to blackouts.”That’s why ČEPS was forced to switch off power plants with a total capacity of about 400 MW, or about a sixth of the country’s total solar energy capacity.
