A fire heathrow covered the dark. A nearby information center has kept Humming. Why?

A new new data center is half a mile from half a mile from the electric substation in the airport last week in the airport last week. The information center was cut off the same day. However, no one who trusts, immediately seeks to the battery and spare generations designed to shoot.

Meanwhile, in the busiest airport in Europe in the busiest airport to reconstruct terminals and runways Causes global travel delays and emphasizing the weakness of the UK infrastructure.

It is a surprising conflict that energy experts say that in a word can be explained in many words: money.

“The information center industry is relatively young. They are more suitable for a catastrophic failure,” said Simon Gallagher, a managing director in British Networks, which recommends employees of violence. The majority of the world’s airports, including Heathrow – said they did not want to make large investments necessary to create common reserve systems.

Heathrowun, the size of the patients in a small town, the size of the heathrow’s size, in the size of a disastrous power deficiency, Mr. Gallagher and other engineering experts.

However, it may cost $ 100 million and likely to take years to place space. So far, airports should not invest most airports.

“It comes in cost-benefit analysis,” said Mr Gallagher. “In the minute, there is a very expensive assumption.”

Airport

Heathrow officials have spare power for the most critical systems of the airport after the events of Friday: Flight Lights and Towers Traffic Control System. If a plane was necessary for the land that day, it could be so reliable.

However, there was no way to strengthen the rest of the airport and strengthening the remainder of the ink: the store and restaurant, spacious terminals full of moving roads and escalators. The grid was cut, the bag was not the power to transfer bags to the field of claim or ticket counters or the bathroom.

Originally opened and updated over the Heathrow decades opened at the end of World War II. The result was the premise of old and new electric cables and systems that are increasingly increasing demand for power.

“The grid is old,” said Professor of Engineering at the University of Southern California, Najmedin Meshkati. “For the elderly, for the elderly, for aviation, network and other security critical systems.”

Which Heathrow is the generator generators that can provide 40 megawatts required during peak times to maintain normal operations.

Instead, the airport engineers at the airport were temporarily temporarily re-entered into another substation in another substation. It took hours and watched the airport systems took more time to pull them back, as the systems were powerless.

Substation

The main power source of the airport is a billion northern substation managed and managed by a special power company, which is responsible for the national grid power distribution, a national grid electricity distribution, a special power company responsible for the area.

Two of the transformers of the substance were removed from the fire. The reason is still under investigation, but the police said they found “no evidence” of the suspicious activity on Tuesday.

CEO John Pettigrew, the CEO of the National Grid, said that in the financial periods, “the lack of a capacity” in the area. Energy experts said: where there is a shortage of urgent power, developing countries and war zones are being prepared.

The problem used the width of the region once the Heathewow was joined by Hyde North. Airport CEO Tomas Woldbye, said he was proud of Friday workers to change their systems to use nearby substations in the BBC.

But he said, Heathrow will now evaluate the installation of a different level of strength if we cannot believe the grid around us. Heathrow did not meet the requirements for this story.

Information center

The airport leaders may only want to explore the north corporate neighbor.

Union Park managed by ship data centers, Hyde is six minutes away from the northern substation. Inside, computers last a day, strengthen the cloud services and artificial intelligence in the center of modern banking, trade, research and government operations.

The company’s CEO Huw Owen said the supply of electricity was cut off when the fire came out. However, developed sensors revealed the loss of power and immediately passed to batteries that work as a continuous power supply system for an individual computer. This gave time to twist the generators of the device and seized soon.

“It is a well-coached process,” Mr. Ounen said at the meeting. “This mind and everything that strengthens everything is the front of the world, the front and center of our world.” Mr. Owen said that despite the expectations of the company, despite the expectations, the expensive generator has installed a reserve system. One Allows permission application The company described the possibility of a power outage prepared in December as “extremely rare.”

“This is a catastrophic regional failure on the network or power plant, which is likely not only to the surrounding London.” As a result, a network connection is considered highly valid as shown as a grid reliability letter (calculated as 99,996055%). “

Decision

Prime Minister Keir Starmer Spoke to BBC After the fire, “I don’t want to see an important airport until the Heathrow descends on Friday.”

But how to prevent in the future?

The difficulty of electrical rises to places such as Heathrow, high energy costs determine how to pay for consumer budgets. In the past, airport investment, often airlines has been given to customers in the form of higher ticket prices.

Electricity network sustainability consultant Mr. Gallagher said that in places such as Dubai are built in the type of backup that can open new airports terminals open. Several older airports like Schiphol in Amsterdam have improved their devices with great generators.

However, if Heathrow’s management wants to watch the suit, experts say it has been a great investment to prevent a crisis for many years.

“After 1, it is an easier hell than 1 to try and retrieve it,” Mr. Ouhen said, “said Mr. Ouhen Heathrow and other old airports. “As I am, they are like provoking sustainability on those sites, but now they will be forced to retreat, but I rescued from today.”
