"System Disturbance" Knocks Off Hwange Power Station

Power utility ZESA Holdings says the national grid experienced a system disturbance on Wednesday morning which resulted in the loss of generation at the Hwange Power Station.

In a statement issued around midday today, ZESA said the system disturbance has resulted in increased load shedding across the country. ZESA said:

ZESA Holdings would like to inform its valued customers that the national grid experienced a system disturbance this morning at 0938 hours, resulting in the loss of generation at the Hwange Power Station.

This has resulted in increased load curtailment across the country. Our engineers are working flat out to ensure the restoration of service in the shortest possible time.

Earlier on Wednesday, ZESA Holdings’ power generating unity, the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC), said that Hwange was generating 774MW, Kariba was producing 300MW, and IPPs were generating 31MW.

This means locally generated power is currently less than 400MW against a peak demand of 2 200MW.

System disturbance is a non-technical term which describes a fault in the grid which results in loss of power at the generating station. In a power system there are Power stations- the generators Substations - transformers and switching equipment Power Lines- the wires that transmit and distribute power to users Grid- ( substations and power lines plus a control center for monitoring and controlling the system centrally to ensure safety of the system, personnel and users) For this to be achieved every country must have at least one big station which is used to run and provide stability of electrical parameters such as Voltage - the force that drives electrical flow Current - the actual charge that flows to the end user Frequency- the speed at which the two parameters above travels from source to the user Now in Zimbabwe, Kariba is the biggest station by production ie 1050MW Currently because of low water inflows into the lake there is only 300Mw being produced. So the removal of that 700mw makes it difficult to control the system because supply is now way below the user power demand because very low generation. In such cases the instability trips the generating station which has the biggest output at that time( in this case Hwange) That's just but one scenario. The other scenario is because our grid is interconnected to other regional countries, a similar fault can be induced in the grid if one of the countries switches off more power than our local system is producing. There a explanations to these situations but that's not the important part. The important part is we have lower generation capacity than demand. And worse there is climate change whose effects are droughts hence the biggest power plant which uses water as the source of input power is now grounded Pointing fingers does not solve our problems. Seek knowledge,wisdom and solutions Thank you Zimbabwe

last time vaimboti Nsengwa power station is nearing its completion vakamboti mukuyu what what vachiti yeee China has donated for the. refurbishment of hwange power station izvo dzaingove nhema kuphela apo hwange power station is as good as dead nekuti hanzi most of the machines there are more than centuries old and it was once announced kuti hwange has got other sections that are. damaged beyond repair

Where did the write get 400MW? 774MW for hwange +31MW for IPPs+300MW for kariba total is more than 400MW.

hwange is off ,so don't add it to the total

@atheist hie brother we seem to share the same sentiment on whether there's any divine power but I am sure it's all lies right now I am studying the theory of the big bang which makes sense to me than this belief shared by many do you have some more other text for us to read to back our inclinations I also supports Charles Darwin theories if need be we can exchange our numbers and give people a new narrative together

I'm in a fact finding mission guys and I want someone to respond truthfully. Suppose you've had a terrible night sleep, hearing strange noises and you discover it's a snake in your room then you try for hours to kill it if possible ,then after a long struggle the snake bolts out of your and head straight into your neighbors house. How will you feel?

you warn your neighbor (wake him or her) and then join them to fight the snake. simple

oh sorry, did not read the whole thing properly . Of course I would only feel bad, if I do not make them aware of the new situation and help them get rid of the snake.

Kariba 300MW & IPP 37MW that figure represents the below 400 MW they are talking about the 774 MW from Hwange has not been included on the current electricity generation total because Hwange is down

The 400 excludes the generation at Hwange which has been disturbed ka...you missed it.

Hwange is producing nil . then Kariba and the ipps combined are producing a total close to 400 , but less than 400

solar power bho... mazimbo will be the first independent country because the citizens will not have to depend on gvt because they have failed us..... tozvitira takanyara we are not docile but just love peace, everything you do we see and keep quiet... one some people will find the citizens of his so called country have their own currency and leader....

Can they come out clean and tell the real reason? The consumers have been affected by increased load shedding for many days now and zesa tries to fool us by telling us that the load shedding started today, 3 hours ago!

they are saying expect more load shedding on top of the current situation
