"Are all grids are created equal? (Or are some grids are more equal than
others?)
Even when we talk about “the grid” in the singular, most power systems are
really a constellation of islands and semi‑islands learning how to run on
renewables and storage.
Earlier this week, I outlined the case from Australia.
But, what about other islanded grids? Some are obvious – small island states in
the Pacific or Caribbean. Others are carved out of huge continental networks,
but behave like islands in practice because physics, politics or market rules
limit how much help they can get from their neighbours.
That is where some of the most useful transition lessons are emerging."
