Spin it which/whatever way you like.

Simple fact - battery failure.

If the battery hadn't failed none of the following events would have occurred and the electricity consumer would be $millions better off today.

“The voltage in the DC system unexpectedly dropped to zero, causing a trip in the AC system. The loss of the AC system then prevented the recovery of the DC system,” he says.

''The technical report pinned the issue on the installation of the C4 unit’s new battery charger, which was part of an upgrade of all chargers across the Callide C station.

The Callide C power station has backup batteries which are supported by 220V chargers.

During the switchover from a battery charger in a separate circuit that had been running the C4 DC system, the new charger’s voltage had decayed to a point where, once it was the sole supplier of power to the C4 circuit DC circuit, it couldn’t immediately raise the voltage in the circuit to the level required.''

Wow.

The old girl has got dementia.

Too stupid to read what she just posted.

Then again given that she lies about her career and everything else it's not that surprising.
