Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) said the blackout was caused by an issue with the high voltage transmission network.
High voltage is the best way to transmit power (the higher the voltage, the smaller the loss), but high voltage is not usually what the user wants.
Fort Knox began talking about solutions with Nolin Rural Electric Cooperative, which maintains the high-voltage lines bringing power to the base.
Main.net's system skips the high-voltage lines, injecting data into the grid further downstream, on medium-voltage (4, 000 to 25, 000 volts) lines.
The maximum electric load potential of the high-voltage battery is 480 kW, which is an absolute best value in the automotive sector.

Severinsky's bright idea was to run the electric motor on a high voltage--say, 40 times the 14 volts that is standard for the electrical system in a gasoline car with a 12-volt battery.
The carbon is placed next to the steel die form, and very high voltage is sent between the carbon and the steel, creating a powerful arc of heat, which vaporizes the steel in the desired pattern.
Crews were called on Monday afternoon after the fire broke out in roof panelling above high-voltage electrical switchgear in the main turbine hall.
He said that the 12-foot wall protecting their high-voltage wires was two feet short of the floodwaters.
It fell onto the main north-south high voltage power transmission line.
Other improvements will include the running of new and some existing high voltage cables underground, particularly where they affect areas of outstanding natural beauty, and the construction of a new undersea link connecting Scotland with England and Wales.
The authorities blame unexpected storms, tree branches falling on high-voltage power lines (as in the Italian example) and other acts of nature.
So Edison upped the ante, claiming that high-voltage AC had killed innocent people.
Substations and transformer boxes eventually reduce the power to the 110 volts that toast your muffin in the morning, but the electrical noise on a high-voltage line can destroy data signals immediately.
Now there is growing concern that a really big storm might collapse much of the global electric grid, particularly in places with long high-voltage transmission lines such as Australia, Canada, China and the United States.

The repeater is a like a high-voltage machine gun, for example, but with different upgrades and ammo.
The cost of burying cables makes it prohibitive, even without the ease of maintenance provided by suspended high voltage lines.
That is the reason why the current emphasis in China is on the construction of 500kv extra-high-voltage lines and long-distance power transmission.
In addition to sharing Lawrence's scientific interests, Loomis, because of his investment work with utilities, appreciated the need to create an efficient high-voltage transformer.
In 2009, the Center for American Progress sponsored the National Clean Energy Project, in which they detailed the implementation of an efficient, high-voltage grid that would extend from coast to coast.
New York City, electric power is transmitted by high voltage cables encased in steel pipelines to electric substations where the power is converted to low voltage feeders supplying about 55 distribution networks.
