Power went out too fuck this shit

[tangian]

So the funny thing last night:

Scheduled Shutdown namin dahil meron maintenance sa Turbine, and yep, going smooth lahat. Papatay na talaga ang planta, tapos BIGLA NAGBLACKOUT! Anak ng…. Bali imbis na smooth down na e nagloko yung feedback power sa labas (bali kumukuha na kami ng power sa NGCP since hindi na nakakapagproduce ng kuryente)

Tapos ayun na nga, nung nagkaroon ng power, paranf nag-startup lang din kami uli. Binuksan lahat ng operating machines na need para sa pagpatay ng tama ng planta (from Cooling water pumps, Air compressor, Air dryer, Bottom Ash Removal System, Start-up Diesel Burner, Chillers, Makeup-Condenser-&Boiler Feed pump) grabe ang lala. Imbis na agad makakapg-pahinga e nawalan ng pahinga buong duty 🫡🥲💀💀💀💀

Yeah masaya sa Powerplant. Masaya…. 😊😊😊😊💀💀💀💀at pagod

Pero ang ganda ng view na total blackout sa planta.

[pannaginip]

Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas has called on Congress to investigate the massive power outage that struck Panay and Guimaras Islands on Tuesday.

Treñas said that the widespread disruption was nothing short of “economic sabotage” with many residents and business establishments in the provinces of Guimaras on Guimaras Island and Iloilo, Antique, Aklan, and Capiz on Panay Island still without power as of Wednesday afternoon.

NGCP said at least 452 megawatts (MW) of power was lost to the Visayas grid on Tuesday due to tripping of power plants (302 MW) and maintenance shutdown (150 MW).

NGCP had yet to disclose the cause of the power plant outages except that an internal issue caused the tripping of Panay Energy Development Corp.’s Unit 1 plant on Tuesday at noon.

“The prolonged power outage exposes our children and students to the effects of heat and humidity which may lead to heat-related illness exacerbated by lack of adequate sleep or general feeling of drowsiness; and possible exhaustion from travel or commute,” the city government said in its advisory.

INEC Tackles Frequent Power Disruptions for Reliability

  Addressing Widespread Power Outages

The Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative, Inc. (INEC) has announced its plan to work closely with local government units in a coordinated effort to mitigate power interruptions that have been plaguing the province. These disruptions have become a significant concern for residents and businesses, prompting INEC to take action.   Towns Affected by Recent Outages On a Wednesday morning, at approximately 7 a.m., a temporary power cut inconvenienced the residents of several towns in Ilocos Norte. The affected areas included the entire town of Banna, except Barangay Barbarangay, as well as Nueva Era, Marcos (except Barangays Imelda, Mabuti, Lydia, Pacifico, and Valdez), and some villages in Pinili and Badoc. Fortunately, the power was restored within an hour, but the community has been frustrated by the frequent disruptions.  

Root Cause of Recent Interruption

INEC attributed the latest power interruption to a leaning bamboo tree that came into contact with the three-phase primary line at Sitio Saranay in Barangay Caribquib, Banna. This incident underscores the pressing need for proactive measures to maintain the power infrastructure and reduce such disruptions.   A History of Power Woes This recent episode is not an isolated incident; in fact, power interruptions have been occurring frequently throughout the province. On October 30, during the counting of votes in several election precincts, some areas experienced emergency power interruptions due to bird electrocution. This pattern of interruptions has had a significant impact on the daily lives of residents and local businesses.  

INEC's Response and Road Clearing Plan

Cipriano Martinez, the acting general manager of INEC, has acknowledged the root cause of these disruptions—the absence of road-clearing operations. To address this issue, INEC is planning a comprehensive, one-time, and large-scale road-clearing operation across all areas of the province. The operation is targeted to be completed within a month and will be a joint effort with local government units. INEC aims to secure additional heavy equipment and manpower resources to ensure its success.   Collaboration and NGCP's Role Martinez has also appealed to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) to expedite upgrading works in Ilocos Norte, emphasizing that these enhancements are crucial to overcoming recurring power interruptions that have been affecting both the first and second districts of the province. In addition, Martinez has urged NGCP to limit power interruptions during corrective maintenance works to a maximum of six hours. He also requested NGCP to provide at least one month's notice before implementing maintenance works. This advance notice would enable INEC to inform its member-consumers and allow them to make necessary adjustments. In summary, people see INEC's proactive approach and collaboration with local authorities as essential steps to alleviate the frequent power interruptions that have affected the daily lives and businesses of Ilocos Norte's residents. The hope is that these efforts will lead to a more reliable and stable power supply in the region.   Sources: THX News & Philippine News Agency. Read the full article

TYPHOON EGAY

Ham radio communications reports house roofs ripped off and several families being evacuated. There are eight portions of land slides on the main road going to the city. So far, no one is reported hurt and hope it stays that way 'til this is over.

Electricity has been out all over the local sector since last night due to a broken NGCP line somewhere in La Trinidad and workers are unable to do repairs due to super strong winds and rains. Cellular signal is scarce if not zero.

I don't know if this post will get through... this typhoon is a strong one.

China could switch off the Philippines' national grid, congress has heard in Manila.

The head of the National Transmission Corporation confirmed the possibility during a senate session.

China has part-owned the Philippines' national grid since 2009 - leading one senator to question whether China's "hegemonic ambitions" posed a security threat to the Philippines.

The countries have a territory dispute in the South China Sea.

"We have given our grid - although 40% it appears - to a foreign corporation that has interests that collide with our country in the West Philippine Sea," said Senator Richard Gordon, using the Philippine name for the eastern parts of the South China Sea.

"And that [country] obviously has a hegemonic ambition."

The senate heard that - although the power could be switched off remotely - the Philippines could restore it within 24 to 48 hours.
