April's #BGStats #BoardGames 25 plays of 22 games. I finally got round to playing #PowerGrid - it was interesting, would certainly play again. The #Tablescope app for scoring #Cascadia quickly was probably my fave discovery of the month though!

'Induced atmospheric vibration'
The way to avoid such catastrophic risks is clear: we must embrace innovative solutions such as community #microgrids. These are decentralised, flexible and resilient energy networks that can operate independently when needed.
Just like #Fediverse.
The ConversationDid ‘induced atmospheric vibration’ cause blackouts in Europe? An electrical engineer explains the phenomenonWhatever caused the blackout in Spain and Portugal, it highlights the vulnerabilities in some electricity grids.
Power is restored in Spain after a massive blackout leaves millions stranded.
Power returned to Spain early Tuesday after a major blackout disrupted flights, metros, and communications across Spain and Portugal.
Authorities said over 99% of energy demand was restored, but the cause of the outage remains unclear.

Los Angeles Times · Edison to bury more than 150 miles of power lines
For a work thing, I recently read and wrote a whole lot about renewable energy and power grids, and power purchase agreements and renewable energy certificates and I had forgotten just how interesting I find this stuff. So I want to read more on this. Are there people on mastodon who geek out on this stuff on the regular who I could follow?
A solid review of Brandon Russell's sordid career, from Atomwaffen Division to prison to Terrorgram and back to prison, with a particular focus on his trial for plotting to destroy the power grid around Baltimore. He was found guilty on Feb. 3, and is looking at up to 20 years for that; sentencing is scheduled for June 17.
Southern Poverty Law CenterNeo-Nazi network ‘Terrorgram’ goes to court over planned attack on substationA federal criminal court case against Atomwaffen Division co-founder Brandon Clint Russell provided a glimpse into the sources, tools and tactics that the Biden administration used to penetrate and dismantle a loose, international network of neo-Nazi terrorists known as “Terrorgram.” Russell, 29, was found guilty on Feb. 3 of conspiring to damage an energy facility, […]

Good news about our #pluginpv project in #Ukraine: “Yesterday we completed the installation of the panel: my husband fixed all the elements and ran the cables to the balcony.”
Our project partners from #EcoClubRivne are checking out how to install #solar on the #balcony. How to set ups such a system with a small battery, because there are lots of #blackouts in Ukraine, due to the destruction of the #powergrid by Russia.
Of course we also try to explore what landlords and gridoperators think and if they try to block small #pv.
Want to learn how to build a powerful yet simple 5000W #Offgrid #solar #system? (It uses #powergrid as backup)

Trump regime is destabilizing the electricity grind and driving the costs up.
Americans may face power outages & blackouts. There’s an existential threat, but the media isn’t declaring the #coup as catastrophic. It’s incumbent for those who understand the peril, to warn the public.
“Trump just fired 88 employees at the Western Area Power Admin. Combined with Elon’s “buyout,” we could be looking at a 20% reduction in their workforce, crippling the western #powergrid & leading to blackouts & power outages.”
-Sen Heinrich

Hackaday · Moving Power Grids In A Weekend, The Baltic States Make The SwitchA significant event in the world of high-power electrical engineering is under way this weekend, as the three Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, disconnect their common power grid from …
Baltic power grid disconnected from Russian grid this morning. From a grid ops view this is less exciting than the front page news has you believe:
But, the Baltics are net importers with limited power generation.
Lithuania stays connected to Poland and Sweden, Estonia to Finland.
Three of these links run under the Baltic sea, subject to sabotage attempts (Estlink 2 already damaged). The fourth runs through the Suwalki gap.
Baltic states switch off Russian power feed.
Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia have disconnected from Russia's power grid, which is a move that leaders say will save them from "geopolitical blackmail".
