> Solar PV/thermal + wind: ~78%

This is (a) incredibly impressive to achieve and (b) definitely the point at which the battery infrastructure needs to catch up in order to reduce the risk of such incidents.




> battery infrastructure needs to catch up

This non-existent technology will surely catch up very soon, I wonder what takes them so long.

The only battery available at this scale is hydro and it doesn't do very well in Spain because of droughts.


It definitely does exist, I don't know why people are weird about this: https://www.solarpowerportal.co.uk/zenobe-200mw-bess-operati...


I was just thinking that grid scale batteries could be extremely useful in a black start situation.
