This will be good. Pilots telling us how to fix our HV transmission problems. Fact is the storm blew over 22 towers near Melrose. This trunk main supplies pretty well everything north and west of pt Pirie. Makes no difference how that power was generated it took out the system. The real issue is why it took out the rest of the state with it. The pollies and bureacrats are now covering there arses saying the system self protected itself. It shouldnt have. With auto reclosers,and a multitude of protection devises the system should have detected the line with the fault,dropped it off then re energised. It didnt. My personel opinion this is what you get when you sell off the assett and have multiple suppliers and distrubution networks all with there finger in the pie.The left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing. Good luck NSW with your sell off.
