With the media and others flinging "... Niagara-Mohawk power grid was overloaded." Why are the power grid/$joe_powercompany line capacity stats so hard to come by? One would think a simple http(s)? request would show graphs of current/slightly delayed line capacity publicly. If not, with todays events showing international connectivity and their weaknesss change anything? Of course the technology is avaliable to do this exists but one would have to sit in a certain chair to see it. Sure, that's fine with private / managed service(s). I'm talking the grid here and their capacity buy and sell metrics by watt to $joe_powercompany. What about $joe_powercompany load sharing lines as well? Anyone running a list of URLs that are relative to this?

CNN has been showing graphs from www.genscape.com. It appears they provide, to subscribers, output graphs per plant, some grid statistics, and other data along those lines. It would be interesting to see a free and/or public version of that data, but it seems to be available to those willing to part with a few dollars. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org
