Dear Editor,
In Stabroek News of July 25 it was stated that “The Guyana Power and Light (GPL) suffered a shutdown last night after one of its units was taken out of service because of an oil leak which was deemed as high risk for a fire starting… GPL said that an initial analysis suggests that the rapid offloading of the 8.7-megawatt unit led to a “significant frequency decline” and despite the intervention of other generators and the under-frequency load-shedding scheme, the system collapsed”.
The article GPL shutdown would not have occurred if modules were configured to provide system inertia appeared first on Stabroek News.
