A light shines where there was none

I would be interested in a schematic of the arrangement there. I wonder if one will ever be provided? There's a basic one in the report: NG have 4 seperate feeds to EDF who split their Busbar into 2 halves. At the time one of the feeds to the half supplying LU was out for maintenance and the other was taken out by the phantom overload trip, the 2 remaining feeds were capable of carrying the full load. As NG couldn't find a valid reason for the trip although they re-closed the breakers in a few mins, after isolating the line and EDF feed, they didn't offer supply until 18 mins after loss and EDF took 10 mins to accept. EDF continued to reconfigure their system and weren't able to resupply all load until, I think, 44 mins though the report isn't very specific as NG had all supplies restored at 36 mins and aren't responsible for EDF's antics. Once LU had decided to evacuate trains restoring their supply became academic. |
