For five hours.

I’m all onboard with the renewable revolution, but there is a lot of progress to be made. Peak demand during ideal renewable conditions is one thing. Overnight is another.

How are they producing VArs? How are they riding through disturbances while taking renewable energy? How is system stability when exposed to a hard ground fault in the transmission system without system inertia from synchronous generation? How are they adjusting VAr demand over the load curve?

Impressive that they generated enough capacity during the easiest time frame to achieve this. Impress me with the bigger issues.
