I wonder how that happens. Power stations run almost fully independent individual units with only a few common parts.

Yea. Strange they all break together hey

It's certainly possible, don't get me wrong.

Eskom blaming the mist...seriously?!

Shows how clueless the management there are in terms of how to run a power station. De Ruyter wouldn't know these things but the COO certainly must know or at least know enough not to have his GMs BS him. The GMs don't report to him, but the generation exec. must know.

I think you mean "should" know! Seems obvious that either they don't or can ignore good (safe?) practice without consequences.

What about these huge sand vats that they use commercially for heat storage?

Just filled up the generator again.... seems we may have loadshedding again in hours.

Even that would fizzle out during the evening, like CSP requires another method of power in the evenings to keep it molten, those large sand vats probably cool down in the evenings

Still being tested in Norway or something?
