It was a pretty normal day in the UK transmission system but that single bolt of lightening caused significant disruption. Trains were stopped for hours and the country took a significant time to recover. Continue reading What happens when the lights go out?
5G Heat (Fifth Generation Heat!)
The fundamental premise of 5th generation heat networks is that the distribution temperatures drop substantially to around twenty five degrees (typically 4th Generation systems run at around 50-60 degrees). Continue reading 5G Heat (Fifth Generation Heat!)
