No spinning kinetic energy, no reactive power, low overload capability of inverters, all semiconductor with low I SQUARED T, so need to trip out at slightest overload and then the oscillations get worse. Atmospheric phenomenon I don't think so, a big alternator can withstand substantial (2 times ) overload for nearly a minute, it is a big chunk of metal takes a long time to heat up. The lesson is renewables are not reliable, will Miliband U-turn, probably not ,need more solar and wind.

So the future has arrived earlier than expected.
