Quantitative fire likelihood assessment of battery home storage systems in comparison to general house fires in Germany and other battery related fires
That looks like a dynamic gzip error, eg when various parts of the page are separately generated and assembled live in (say) Tomcat, and some of the elements can be prematurely gzipped before being added to the main page body and compressed again.
That roughly lines up with what we paid* to get CE and safety stuff done for a small battery-powered product with a radio on the EU market (primarily in the UK).
*Testing and tweaking and then sign-off in grown-up labs.
Great catch, thank you! I was tweaking the copy right before pushing this live and completely missed that they fell out of sync. Fixing the <title> tag now so they match.
You do realise that the last 2 times the GB grid had major glitches (since 2000) part of the issue was thermal (nuke, gas, coal) plants going down in big chunks beyond the overall system capacity to cope.
1) The system works as a system
2) Big single plants going down (eg 'tripping') are more hazadous to grid stability than smaller individual generators
3) All generators have to be 'backed up' by spare capacity, especially big thermal
4) Yes this stuff is priced in, especially as in some grids some of the time it is over 50% of the generation
> This price-setting dominance is being eroded by renewables, with recent analysis from the UK Energy Research Centre showing that gas set power prices 90% of the time in 2025.
Look at the price of electricity in European Union countries. It's true. I know what I pay for electricity and you aren't going to gaslight me into thinking otherwise.
