Europe's grid operators teamed up successfully to battle eclipse

摘要

The partial solar eclipse of 20 March could have played havoc with Europe's electricity system and affected supplies - as there is now a vast amount more solar PV installed in Europe's electricity grids than the last time the phenomenon occurred in 1999. Thankfully, rapid variations in solar generation and a difficult-to-anticipate impact on demand were successfully managed by European Transmission System Operators (TSOs), thanks to both preparation and cooperation.
