Power Grid

State of emergency declared after blackout plunges most of Chile into darkness | CNN

A massive power outage in Chile affected 8 million homes across 14 regions, disrupting transportation, internet, and mobile services. The government declared a state of emergency and implemented a curfew while investigating the cause of the blackout, which stemmed from a disrupted high-voltage transmission line. By Wednesday, 90% of affected areas had power restored, though 220,000 customers remained without electricity.

Baltic Grid Frequency

Engineers collaborate across Europe to develop a web application for monitoring power grid frequency data from the Baltic region, using Sympower's tech stack and AWS infrastructure. The initiative, sparked by the Baltic Desynchronisation Event, evolves from a quick experiment into a structured project with front-end and back-end development, data storage, and potential expansion to include voltage monitoring.
