英国电网运营商于周一晚间向法国寻求紧急援助，请求通过海底互联电缆额外获取高达1200兆瓦的电力，以帮助维持电力系统的稳定。作者：威廉·马西斯据英国国家能源系统运营商（NESO）发布的信息称，由于一项电力系统设备的恢复运行出现延迟，导致周一下午电网可用容量下降，因此NESO提出了这一请求。此前，在6月份发生的一起事件中，英国电网在向邻国输电时遭遇了异常压力，此后，NESO开始更频繁地利用互联电缆的“提前一日限制”措施，以确保英国电力供应充足。根据市场消息，周一采取的措施则使用了另一种工具，以便在几分钟内保障电力供应。
Britain’s grid operator sought emergency assistance from France on Monday evening, requesting as much as 1,200 megawatts of additional electricity through an undersea interconnector to help maintain the security of the power system. By William Mathis The National Energy System Operator made the request after the return to service of a power-system asset was delayed, reducing the network’s available capacity Monday afternoon, according to a post on NESO has been making greater use of day-ahead restrictions of interconnectors in order to ensure there is sufficient supply of electricity in Britain following an incident in June when the grid faced unusual strain while it was exporting power to neighboring countries. The action Monday was taken with a different tool to ensure power supplies with a few minutes notice, according to market messages.
“紧急援助是系统运营商在需要立即采取行动以维持系统安全时可用的一种正式运行工具，”NESO在其X平台（原Twitter）的帖子中写道。“整个过程中电力供应始终保持稳定，未对客户造成任何中断。”NESO表示，此次行动是在原定恢复运行的一项电力设备出现延迟后采取的，这导致周一下午电网的供电能力有所下降。
“Emergency Assistance are formal operational tools available to system operators when immediate action is required to maintain system security,” NESO wrote in its post on X. “Electricity supplies remained secure throughout and there was no interruption to customers.”NESO said it took the action after some power asset that was set to return to service would be delayed. That reduced capability of the power network Monday afternoon.
