The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) on Friday called for better and proper system planning following the recent incidents of power outages which hit the Luzon grid and Panay island.
“The system disturbance and the widespread outages in Panay Island between 27 and 29 April, and the red alert raised in the Luzon grid resulted from a confluence of events that support its call for better and proper power system planning across all three members of the energy supply chain: generation, transmission and distribution,” the NGCP said in a statement.after five power plants were on a forced outage amid the summer heat.
The grid operator said that only the consumers connected to the line that tripped should have been disengaged from the grid. In the case of the Luzon red alert, the company said initial investigation on the sequence of events on May 8, shows the tripping of Bolo-Masinloc 230 kilovolt Line 2. The grid operator added that prior to the occurrence of the faults, unplanned outages of plants and the deration of other plants contributed to the situation.
