There has been an increase in power that caused widespread blackout in Spain and Portugal was the “most intense” in Europe over the past twenty years, and the first of its kind, a report has been found.
Damien Cortinas, head of the Electricity Networks Association, said that the accident was the first known blackout caused by excessive effort, which occurs when there is a lot of electric voltage in the network.
“This is a new area,” said Courtinas.
April interruption caused a significant disturbance for nearly a day when it fell in the areas in the dark, cut off the Internet and phone and stopping the transport links.
The large parts of Spain and Portugal affected, and were briefly affected southwest of France.
The report, which was released on Friday, focused on the state of energy systems on the day of the power outage and the sequence of events that led to this.
She concluded that a series of “consecutive voltage” – an increase in the electric supply voltage is higher than the specified base – was behind the power outage.
The excessive effort in the networks can be caused by excessive width or lightning strikes, or when protection equipment is insufficient.
According to the report, automatic defense plans were activated but were unable to prevent the power system.
It follows many separate investigations and reports by the Spanish government, as well as power and network companies. The International National Energy Agency and Spanish legislators are also conducting separate investigations.
The Spanish government believes that Entso-E supports its own results.
Sarah Aiden, Minister of Ecological Transition, said she was “in a completely line” with the results of the investigation that cost him in June that both the Red Eléctrica national provider and private electricity companies were wrong.
Red Eléctrica and private companies insisted not to blame. Redia, the owner of Red Eléctrica, blames a blackout for the failure of the power, gas and nuclear energy stations for maintaining the appropriate effort.
Spanish facilities said they are caused by poor planning of network operators.
The Entso-E report also said that some important data was missing and that “collecting full-quality data has proven a major challenge to this investigation.”
The final report, which will be published in the first quarter of next year, will investigate the radical reasons for the excessive effort and procedures used to control the effort in the system.
The interruption of the interruption led to a broader discussion in the political scene on the energy model in Spain.
The opposition suggested intense dependence on the renewed energy, promoted by the leftist government of Pedro Sanchez, was a factor in causing blackout and decreasing the country’s nuclear energy supplies.
The government rejected these theories, and the new report was keen to avoid recovery when it came to unprecedented obscure reasons in April.

Nuclear power stations in Spain stopped automatically when hitting a blackout, and the Spanish oil company MEVE said it had stopped its operations in oil refineries.
Buildings She was immersed in the darkWhile mobile phones and traffic light stopped working. Waiting lists failed around street corners and card payments, forcing people to the waiting list to get money and operation to buses where other transport systems have not been operated.
Emergency workers were called to 286 buildings to liberate people trapped inside the elevators in the Madrid region, and hospitals carried out emergency plans, stopping routine procedures.
