How severe thunderstorms impact energy infrastructure
Ashleigh Madden of WeatherZone explores how thunderstorms damage transmission and whether a trend of these related weather events exists.
We can’t say yet if grid-breaking thunderstorms are getting worse – but we shouldn’t wait to find out
Reflecting on the transmission tower failures in Victoria in February, a group of researchers from the University of Melbourne have put together this summary of what the long-term...
Another tower collapse poses more questions about transmission
The sixth transmission tower failure within the NEM in almost four years, has prompted further questions about the physical network and its resilience to severe convective winds.
