in a brief report last night, chris ulhman briefly tried to explain how the electrical system worked - and commented that wind power is too erratic to confidently maintain the required balance in the system - anyway, here is an article by chris uhlman

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-...es-risks-sector's-reputation:-uhlmann/7888290

Premier Jay Weatherill said the primary cause of the state-wide outage was the storm's destruction of transmission towers and that the National Electricity Market "did what it was supposed to do" — tripped the off switch to protect itself.

But what that switch was doing was protecting the east coast from the fluctuations of power in the west, it was not protecting South Australia.

Once the door to the east was shut, South Australia fell back on its own power supply, which, this report suggests, might by then have had a wildly fluctuating power supply and insufficient synchronous generation to keep it in check. That could explain why, region-by-region, the entire network shut itself down until the state went to black....

..
.
in the report last night, it was mentioned that the only thing that supplies stability to the system is baseload power (ie coal) - ohhh south australia blew up the coal power plant - oh well - so needs to be plugged into the victorian system..

seriously - the lefties are dopes - they will ruin australia for sure
