Hellbrise

In the wake of Europe's largest blackout in decades, commodities
investor Alexander Stahel helps us to understand the physics of
power grids, and how Spain's celebrated renewable transition
became its Achilles' heel. He introduces the “hellbrise”
phenomenon—excessive, rather than too little, renewable
generation—as he considers the role of grid inertia in preventing
minor disruptions from cascading into failures in mere seconds.
Spanish energy policy isn’t the first time that green idealism
has brushed over the fundamental requirements of reliable
electricity, and it is unlikely to be the last. But it has
certainly provided a stark example of the dangers that await such
an oversight.
