Poole Plant Lee Vining CA. Pelton system 22 megawatts.
Horrible storm Feb 1985. Knocked power out to 2,700 homes in the Eastern Sierra.
HVT was isolated at Tom's place between Bishop, and Mammoth Lakes.
The Pelton could NOT support the 2,700 homes. SCE had to wait until the geothermal plant at the Long Valley Caldera came back on line. They synchronized. Mammoth Lakes got partially energized. Poole Plant synchronized then came on line.
Almost 45 megawatts. X 24 hours. = 990 mWh accumulated.
Why am I having trouble with the Australian math? Almost 10 times as many homes. A ridiculous fraction of the energy. Other than with rolling blackouts throttling credibility is in question here.
