The Czech power grid in 2011 was repeatedly and “more frequently” overloaded with unscheduled flows of electricity caused by renewable energy from Germany, jeopardizing the security of the network, grid operator CEPS said.
The most critical situation occurred in the period between Nov. 25 and Dec. 16 when unscheduled power flows amounted to 3,500 megawatts while the usual value is about 1,000 megawatts, the Czech operator said in a statement today on its website.
