The National Grid said issues with two generators brought blackouts to London and the South east as well as the Midlands, the South West and Wales, the North East and North west of England too. They said the issue was 'now resolved'. #Blackout #PowerCut

I remember as a kid that power cuts were a regular event. However, we just got the candles out and spent time together as a family.
Aye, and we had an open coal fire back then ... do you remeber those cast iron swinging arms that allowed us to put a pan over the fire?
Oh aye ... and toasted teacakes over a glowing red log ... an electric toaster can't come close !
We still don’t have access to electricity where I live.
@@TCBumby 🙄 That is common.
More than 60% of world population have blackouts.
I wonder why Londoners are taken aback.
I would go around the school terrorising teachers during the blackouts in the past giving them jump scares lol
Where was your school, in a cave?
Can’t believe the light didn’t get in from the windows lol.

Sorry! Sorry...pardon me...it’s rather dark here, and I can’t find my glasses. Ooo...bacon buttie? Yes, please..
The real story is people were actually talking to each other on the underground, wtf is this madness!
We've stockpiled the water. Make your own Brexit No-deal jokes if you want. Best of British!
What 2 generators is the government referring to?
Two generating units should not collapse the grid, unless they mean two major generating stations, like nuclear stations. What info is being hidden.
Exactly right, also many of the services affected are not on the national grid. We are being told porky pies again. This kind of event is happening globally!
Possibly infrastructure issues due to embezzlement of funds ?
@KUSHITIC WONDERING < You are easily scared, a word will do you no harm.
KUSHITIC WONDERING You only need to get scared if your hair starts falling out.
Unless it was a cascade effect with other generators not being able to ramp up quickly enough? I guess we won't know till tomorrow. A tenner says it's the cleaning lady knocked the plug out.
You know it is pretty bad when British people actually talk to each other on public transport. The world is going to end, the tea and biscuit shortages will start and then chaos will ensue.
To the USAicans wondering why this news: the UK buries most of its power lines, and doesn't put transformers up on poles, and so doesn't get powercuts twice a month because there was a thunderstorm in the next state.
depends on area in U.S, we are more diverse when it comes to terrain so in New York you can bury power lines but in Florida you cant, it honestly depends on a lot of factors but mostly cost.
I'm surprised Channel 4 are not trying to blame Brexit for this.
BillyCBoxingFan wow the power went out for MINUTS I feel so sorry for all brits that had to survive 1 minute without power absolutely shocking.

They will
This isn’t a cyber hack, this is the end result of successive governments providing no direction or certainty in energy policy.
The country is running with very limited capacity due to switching off all the coal power stations. They’ve been replaced with renewable energy resulting in a lack of inertia on the grid.
Summer time is when planned work is done on power stations due to lower demand, meaning even less excess capacity. You lose two big plants in a region...mass power cuts are the result.
But we can't go back to coal. That would exacerbate the CO2 problem.
Hey, I had a 1 hour power cut at my house in Arizona last night. Coincidence? I think not

if a circuit breaker opens on the national grid, on the same circuit, a power surge comes out of industrial air conditioners and destroys electronics that have power factor control rectifiers, like TV's, computers e.c.t.
A power surge on the impulse engines captain. We must reconfigure Jordi's visor ... again.
PITTY it didnt destroy CH4 then we would not have to listen to their lies.
the energy stored in a magnetic field is E = 1/2 L.I^2. also millions of units parallel.
The voltage of power surge V = L di/dt, a circuit breaker opens in hundreds of microseconds,
The national grid needs zero-crossing breakers, which they do not have.
There is a real problem as the power company in control blamed it on 2 generators failing at same time. This is a lie as the wind farm did not fail. Wind generators are designed for the safety of those working on power lines and when they are not conected to a mian gernerating system the fail safe cuts them out.
Widespread looting has taken place all over the uk the situation is totally chaotic
WHERE DID U HEAR THAT?
Widespread AND all over the UK. Maybe it was widespread over bits of the UK and thus not 'totally chaotic', just ordinary chaotic.
Dave Box well when I say widespread and chaotic I really meant to say my bicycle was stolen but it turned up again turns out the guy next door borrowed it
@@boko4596 A widespread bicycle stolen by your neighbour? Good Lord, it is obviously as many here claim, a Russian (or Chinese, or Iranian, or alien, or ERG) cyberattack to distract us so that all our bicycles can be stolen. We must Raleigh and fight back.
Because of the possibility of a no deal Brexit 🤣
Please don’t put any ideas in their heads 🤫😂
Indeed....a free-again Britain will create a sharp focus on not only economic issues.

The truth is that electrons unexpectedly stopped moving...'X-files theme'
cinema 4d tutorials weird, I wonder what caused it
theres no such thing as "the truth" and if there was it would be on a need to know basis, and you dont need to know, much like all the rest of us
It's a state funded cyber attack. We have been in a cyber cold war for the past 10 years. The west fired the first bullet with Stuxnet but it would have happened anyway.
Behave you snowflakes. Where I live the power goes out weekly sometimes for 5,6,7 + hours. This hits major TV stations. I don’t believe it.
Blame the Russians. Blame Brexit. Blame the far right. Blame Trump. My God. Control yourself. Deal with it.
I bame Brexit "volatility",if this had happened last week I would have blamed Brexit "uncertainty".
you enjoy blaming
Have you heard of coal? It's really good at making electricity.
It's been banned in the UK ! LOL

Are we blaming this power cut on Brexit toô ?
Nah, Brexit morons can't run an electrical system so we know they aren't connected. They can barley stick their finger in their own ear.
@@bignorbert1136 we can blame it on unreliable energy like wind and solar and the efects they have on the grid.

What a load of bull we have seven power stations in the UK outputting 60 GW peak Great is interlinked with each other two generators would not take out most of the country just get a small amount of the country as each power stations only putting out 2.7 GW To me this sounds like a Servo hack🤔
No it'd power transmission issue.

What you saying bro?
If you look the US have been having similar problems are week three weeks ago the whole of New York when out for five hours maybe something to do with the heat climate change 😂
Putin is responsible 100%
Probably but not 100% Russia is not the only country investing in high level critical infrastructure attacks as a method of destabilising economies.
Perhaps the issue is that too many of our utilities are now owned by foreign corporations. Underinvestment is a problem. Some things should be in public ownership and our energy infrastructure should not be so interdependent. There should always be segregation and back up systems for something so important. And how do we know this was not a malicious act???
Yep if there had been a back up live line to the wind farm it would still have worked.
A field day for conspiracy theorists, but why not?
I don't know why not. Should I be worried? Somebody PLEASE tell me why not! Gulp.
" Two Generators" = "Two Hackers".
It was a spike of some sort which caused a protective overload trip, unlike your house you can't just reset the MCB when you're dealing with tens of thousands of MeggaWatts of energy.
What caused it.......... well who knows.
Thres been thunderstorms here could be that super lightning that ive heard people mention billions of volts apparently some plane downings have been atributed to it
Privatised electricity cuts corners on maintenance to give shareholder maximum profit. Renationalise the utilities.
Here we go again channel 4 up to mischief again ,trying to stop us from escaping from the disastrous EU.
If we do not give the EU money pit £39 plus billion we could biuld a better Natoinal grid. Dont ask the EU for a grant as every £600 they give costs the UK tax payer £1000. Better on our own using all the UK tax payers money here inside the UK.
If Corbyn is elected this will be a normal Friday night.
Good job iv a donkey as we wont have fuel and no electric to charge cars etc. Only good side to it will be it will also hurt the EU as they export more to the UK than we export to them.
Why?
Must be all them electric teapots running..
It’s called a kettle.
If people did without electricity 200 years ago and survived I'm sure we can survive again. "Mam there's no WiFi 🤭"
The power went off just as I turned the hob on. I was starting to make a curry. I thought it was my fault. Then, as I'm wandering around trying to figure out how to report the fault, the battery powered smoke alarm beeped a couple of times. What was that about?!! My neighbour's power had gone off, too. I was really panicking that it was my aging cooker that had done it. Good (sort of) to find out that it was a national issue and, therefore, probably not because I'd turned one of the rings on.
However, as I'm saying this I'm making myself nervous. In the current social climate, in the UK, there will be a proportion of people who will read this and be convinced that it WAS my fault. I'm going to have to be vigilant, against retribution, for a while.
It's because the Brexit enforcement police detected that you were making curry (foreign muck) so decided to shut down the grid and blame it on you. Stay hiding in the attic.
generators? yeah right.
With the warm summer it's no surprise. Welcome to how most of us Americans live.
I never go w/out electricity in the summer in PA. Not sure where you live but if it was that often I would own a generator Oh I do I just never use it. Become a prepper & it won't matter either way.
@@m1a1abrams93 Ya but in big cities it's completely normal. Especially during summer. Happens all over the country. Even here in Southern CA which doesn't get too hot compared to rest of country.
Bet the UK folks wish Thresa May was still in office.
Why didn't they use steam trains? Don't need electricity.

That's one advantage of not having an electrified commuter rail system here in the United States of America.
Didn’t know you still have commuter rail. But on the other way, your President is for clean coal and bringing coal jobs back to the USA, guess your commuter rail will be full steam ahead.
Enjoy walking 20 miles for a loaf of bread if the petrol pumps run dry.
@@christianbinder4655 Believe it or not, I support the improvement of commuter rail in my country. I was being ironic. America has lousy public transport in most places. And we will have to change as oil prices will inevitably skyrocket.
@@mattd8725 That would be an issue if I didn't have access to public transport, or my electric assist bicycle.
ok in north all our trains are diesel
With so little reserve on the grid and the push for renewables and electric vehicles expect much more of this over the next twenty years. The grid demands are a lot more unpredictable these days.
True as when a National Grid generator fails it in turn stops any Wind or solor farm connected to it. Those are the safety rules set by National Grid to protect their workers. National Grid failed to reconect the Wind farm to a live supply.
ernest rogen that is something new I didn’t know
Because of the heat people are using more ac so there is burden on the sytem
Exactly! I wish more people were aware of how fragile the grid is in North America and UK.
Well, I would blame it on Brexit. Everything is these days!
When I lived in Washington, the capitol of the US, we were without power for over a week,. 2009 or thereabouts.Temporary blackpouts were fairly frequent.
Did a nuclear power station or two, go wonky? And should we stop drinking milk?
Amateurs. This past start of summer, a bad storm front with high winds knocked out power in parts of Dallas. Several thousand people were without any power for over a week. Now that is a power failure in a major metropolitan center.
Mate, if you fart here, it'll be on the news that you've sh it yourself. Sensationalism
Who really cares if they lost power for 15 minutes, They are blowing this way out of proportion .
Not really. The thing with Britain us we are never prepared for anything. Power cut happens, chaos everywhere, no trains, traffic lights not working in most places, flights delayed or cancelled. So with that being said, it is bad and not being blown out of proportion.
What!!!.This would have never happened if we voted remain. ..and the word or words blackout. ..racist!!!...I've wrote it so I must be!
Yes, you are an idiot who can write! Well done. That qualified you to vote in a referendum, but you're still a moron.
The UK has about 8 minutes of power cut per customer per year. How dose the compare with pg&e in the states? What is so ridiculess is the trains come to a halt for "hours" because of a few minutes of power cut.
A little accident at the nuclear power plant. Just take some more iodine. And now tell the truth: who didn't pay the bills?
Can happen in a lot of places when system is running near capacity. It could happen again in the US as it has, electricity travels well but not over great distances in large loads. Great Britain has a bigger problem as it has only a small area to draw from being an island.
The UK has lots of space for generators being an island is not a problem the UK also has many interconectors with other parts of Europe. This was a failure of National Grid not having a good network of power lines to reconect the Wind farm to. The wind farm did not fail it followed safety rules which dictate they stop when the National grid has failed.
Huge demand for AC in the climate changed summer coupled with old infrastructure. Most urban areas in the world are facing this.
And the nuts want us all in electric cars which the national grid cant power.
@@ernestrogen4639 You, like most deniers, have missed the point entirely. Electric cars will be part of a responsive distributed generation system that makes less use of "national' grids. The US has multiple grids.....western, Texas, central, southeast, and northeast. Hawaii and Alaska are on their own, with some power available in Alaska from Canada. Smart people, not nuts like YOU, are going to replace the antiquated grid system with a smart interconnection. This will be much more responsive to local and regional demand fluctuation. READ. LEARN.
Russians were trying to poison Skripal again, but it caused the blackout...
first Buenos Aires then New York now London
A few things need to be considered here. First is to put in place a better framework for the construction of pumped storage these stations can be up and running in 15 seconds or around 2 minutes depending upon whether spinning reserve or start up. The last pumped storage was Dinorwig.Existing pumped storage was not sufficient to stop a blackout. It also has the benefit of the grid being able to utilise more wind and solar power. Next the grid needs to be made smarter such that blackouts can be more discrete such that transport and other critical infrastructure can be kept running and less critical requirements shed. The government also needs to put a better framework in place to support domestic generation with batteries such that domestic batteries can also be used by the grid to manage demand and blackouts and also move forward with electric car to grid for the same reason.
Thank the ‘greens’ for this. As coal fired power stations have been shut down prematurely and replaced by intermittent wind generators, the system is now permanently close to failure. As this green logic continues to dominate you can expect regular power cuts.
Funny how it effected some car alarms. EMP not power cut and it's happening worldwide. Wake up
@Andy Leffler. Wake up to what?
Wake up to why the powers that be are telling us porky pies for whatever reason. Cars are not connected to the grid and an EMP is something that will set the car alarms off. This is happening all over the world , USA, Argentina, Parts of Brazil, Indonesia , to name just a few
I think that most of the alarms that I noticed were home or business intruder alarms. It didn't affect cars including mine and there's no reason why it should.
However, if an EMP shut down a couple of generators then coincidentally it could also trigger some car alarms. However, it didn't affect my broadband connection (I run it through a battery back up system) and I would have thought that an EMP would definitely affect that due to the low currents and voltages that they operate on.
Granted,, but this so called , power cut effected modern car alarms in my area which obviously are not connected to the grid
@@andyleffler2965
If it was an EMP powerful enough to shut down an alternator's control system why would "the powers that be" try to hide it? We do get solar storms which, I think, can affect sensitive electronics, but I know from experience that alternator control systems are very rugged. If it had been initiated by a nuclear explosion in space it would have been noticed by thousands of professional and amatuer astronomers around the world and reported on extensively. Such a powerful EMP would have shut down my broadband and landline, but it didn't.
The power outage was most probably caused by one large CCGT alternator shutting down due to a fault, its protection and control system detecting a non-existent fault due to a fault of its own, or operator error. Because the loss of generation brought the grid frequency down to below a certain value the large wind farm automatically disconnected itself from the grid thereby exacerbating the frequency problem. In order to prevent the whole grid system collapsing (as it would when the system frequency fell too low, much like a car stalling) some load had to be shed until spare generation could be called up and the load gradually restored.
The railways were affected so badly because signalling systems failed due to loss of power and electric locomotives couldn't restart without a technician even though power was actually restored within a relatively short time. I was without power for about 40 minutes. Friends 20 miles away weren't affected at all.
If an EMP had been powerful enough to shut down alternator's and set off car alarms it would have also disabled moving vehicles by affecting their electronic engine management systems and the Canbus networks that most vehicles use nowadays. It would also have affected pacemakers and communications. GPS would have failed. I've not seen any reports of satnav failures.
Spit your words out love!!!
I didn’t lose any power,
Check the breaker box. Most likely a fuse. lol
You’re actually right. It was the breaker box’s fuse. sMaRt BoI

Tory-boy fining a private company is no way to run the UK's national electricity grid, which should be re-nationalised and someone put in charge who actually knows what they are supposed to be doing - keeping the lights on all the time!
The UK's wind turbines generate an average of 160GWh of energy per day, equivalent to an average power of 6.6GW. These wind power generators can be configured with energy storage and back-up power to provide dependable, resilient power on demand, for example as follows.
Peak Demand Power: 6.94 GW
Daily Usage of Energy: 104 GWh
Wind Power Capacity: 21.5 GW
Wind Capacity Factor: 31%
Wind energy per day (average): 160 GWh
Storage Energy Capacity: 133 GWh
Back-up power: 2.08 GW
That's the configuration text from the "Row C" configuration from the Wind Generation Capacity Focus Table from my Wind, Solar, Storage and Back-up System Designer, on-line free calculator tool.
Tory-boy has failed to invest in the UK grid energy storage to match the growth in wind power capacity, with predictable adverse consequences for grid stability.
Instead of the about 133GWh / 7GW of energy storage we ought to have by now, the UK grid has less than 30GWh / 3GW, most of which is pumped storage hydroelectricity that was built decades ago, when Tory-boy was just a glint in Tory-dad's eye.
The National Grid recently reorganised to hive off its grid management to a separate legal entity "National Grid Electrical System Operator" with a smaller turnover and liable for smaller fines, allowing the Tory-boys and their bankster backers to game the system to make increased profits with more power cuts.
Has Tory-boy also cut corners to buy cheap trains that can't be restarted by their drivers after a power cut? Really?
Once more the British public are being played like fools by the Tory-boys looking to make a quick buck at the expense of our services and quality of life.
Ah capitalism. If only the people with the money had a clue what to spend it on.

I am sure they will blame the EU for that.
At least this is a good training for things to come when the UK exits into the middle ages end of October.
Now imagine this for months even a year after the hurricanes that was Puerto Rico.😔🇵🇷✊🏽
Well we are not in Puerto Rico. Maybe you should say that to the Puerto Rico government?
That is a nightmare..I couldn't imagine going so long without power nowadays...I think trump got away with that big time...
Johnathan Pearson Never said that you were I was drawing the comparison of the situation that is all.
steven clark Yes it definitely was a hindrance to our over all recovery part of the reason it took so long to do so that plus Trumps incompetence.
Live just outside Chicago- my hubby is an electrical lineman & had a bunch of guys from our local electric company go to help after the hurricane.
Pray for all thst were lost & those still suffering but, trying to blame Trump here? He put his foot in his mouth for sure but Puerto Rico's electrical grid was failing well before the hurricane. It was DESPERATELY in need of being upgraded, downright dangerous in places.
Aid was sent to Puerto Rico- they're videos showing practically football fields worth of water bottles under rotting tarps. Warehouses of food spoiling, not to mention FBI investigations into corruption & government STEALING aid dollars.
The whole infrastructure of the Island was compromised. You couldn't get trucks on the road to deliver supplies. Was a freaking nightmare!
Mainland US went over & above but we're not miracle workers! And expecting the Government to pay to FULLY rebuild the electric infrastructure of the ENTIRE Country?
We had tons of damage mainland US too. Wish to God it had NEVER happened but hon, Trump DIDN'T CAUSE THE STORM.

No worries.
Take it easy.
Currently with the political unrest in Sudan, power cuts are daily for at least 8 hours. Developed country problems is all I have to say about the above segment.
Great job Anja. “Minutes and longer...”. Way to drama it up...
WHAT !!!! The power goes down for between seconds and a few minutes in the daytime, and the country grinds to a halt 🤣🤣😁
No, the country didn't grind to a halt. If it had it would have taken many more hours, even days, to restore power to everyone. At home I was without power for 40 minutes. Throughout, my phone line was still working (I have a standard phone connected to the landline), my internet was still working (I have a battery back up powering my modem), my mobile phone was still working and my laptop has a battery anyway.
Network Rail obviously don't have adequate resilience or back up in their signalling infrastructure to withstand any sort of outage.
Our power grids are being updated but because you all pay home insurance or are vulnerable they are responsible for all your goods . So yeah expect more of this and expect to be told that its in the non insurable catergory . Another powercut this morning apparently due to demolision of cooling towers . A report came out to say that the demolition didnt cause the powercut but it was removed quickly because of the insurance companies . Everyone has spent all year stocking up for brexit and now the country is facing powercuts town after town .
a power station in bedfordshire hitting supply in the West Country and Newcastle! wait for the real issue
Power is regulated through large data networks. If there is trouble on the network, large parts of the supply shuts down. This is how hackers may be able to create large damage by disturbing the control networks.
Cut off the electricity and water supplies within 2 weeks there will be a zombie apocalypse.
The devil whispered "You cannot withstand the storm." I told the devil "I AM the storm!"

We used to dream of having power cuts when we were young. Power cuts, huh, luxury......
Surely Brussells is to blame! I want my electricity back!
thats why we need standalone off-the grid power storage!
How would that work if it was off the grid?
It's now 2022 and here we go again 🙄
Very odd - there is more to this story obviously
cyber attacks and their not telling us
Everyone, calm down and have a cup of tea. If tea can't fix it, then it's a BIG problem! Seriously, though, I am wondering what is going on with all the blackouts in America and now Britain. People, buy a generator, if you can afford one, or failing that, stock up on battery-powered lighting or at the very least, candles and matches. It is bound to happen again!
Turning the country on and off again to try and fix it.
An un scheduled power cut ? - BS
Get used to it. The grid loaded to the max a lot of the time. The problem, too many people in the country draining a fagile limited resource. Get your candles ready. Get the camping stove out. Carry on.
I feel like this was a cyber attack not a problem with generators
It's a funny coincidence that the Javid interview was taken at nationalgrid. Maybe the operators showed him the switch which they will need to turn after the 31st of Oct.
remainer explain why the UK would need to cut power of after the 31st as employment is now higher than ever and the EU will still want to send their goods into the UK that in turn means the EU will also take our goods as transport needs loads going in both directions to keep costs down. The EU also send more into the UK than we send to them so any trade war will damage the EU. They know trade will continue under WTO terms with out a deal. Those WTO terms have seen the UKs world trade grow and since 2009 that world trade has been bigger and more important than our EU trade. EU trade can also grow under those same terms.
'Across UK' and 'the country' means England & Wales..not Scotland and Northern Ireland then
I'd just really like to know why it happened. Would be good to hear a proper explanation.
