Conclusion:
1️⃣ Does renewable energy lack inertia? Yes, because we impose it.
2️⃣ Did this play a role in the blackout? Probably not, but it certainly did not help counteract the blackout.
3️⃣ Was there a lack of inertia? There didn't seem to be. /15

Roughly speaking, this would be enough to bridge the loss of the 18GW solar 2.6s - ample time for other safety mechanisms to intervene (response times of those systems are in the order of tens of milliseconds). So there is more to the blackout than just the inertia thing. 14/

Returning to Spain, moreover, there is no indication that there was a shortage of inertia. At the time of the blackout, there was 10GW of classical generation out of a total consumption of ~30GW. At a classical τ = 5s, that is 50GWs of inertia. 13/

Lo qué no sabemos es qué originó el comienzo de las variaciones de frecuencia que desencadenó este fallo en cascada. Es importante investigar esto para prevenirlo, así como entender cómo mejorar los mecanismos para recuperar la frecuencia de la red (y estabilizar el barco).
