? Why Spain's Power Grid Failed - And What It Means for the Future of Renewable Energy
On April 28, 2025, Spain experienced a major power blackout that left millions without electricity. But what really caused it? In this video, we dive into the hidden weakness of modern renewable energy systems: inverter-based generation. You'll learn: ? How the grid frequency collapsed ? The difference between grid-following and grid-forming inverters ? Why traditional spinning generators matter ? How solar and wind energy behave under sudden grid faults ? What needs to change to prevent future blackouts This is more than just a blackout - it's a wake-up call for energy systems around the world. ? Whether you're an engineer, energy enthusiast, or just curious - this breakdown makes complex grid dynamics easy to understand. ? Based on the real events in Spain, April 2025.
