周五晚暫停運營后，希思羅機場已恢復首批航班起降"
Heathrow is coming under growing scrutiny over its decision to close for nearly 24 hours following a fire at a nearby electrical substation, even though it was still able to receive power from other parts of the grid.
Senior management at Europe’s busiest airport took the decision to close on Friday as they battled to restore full power to a complex that uses the same amount of electricity as a small city.
But John Pettigrew, chief executive of National Grid which operates Britain’s high-voltage transmission network, told the Financial Times that two other substations serving Heathrow were working throughout the incident, meaning the airport never lost potential access to power.
As concerns grow over the resilience of the UK’s critical infrastructure, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Monday said “there are questions” for airport executives to answer over the scale of disruption.
Why wasn’t there enough backup power to run the airport?
希思羅機場因附近變電站火災關閉近24小時的決定，正面臨愈發(fā)強烈的質(zhì)疑——盡管該機場本仍可通過電網(wǎng)其他部分維持電力供應。
作為歐洲最繁忙的機場，其管理層上周五決定暫停運營，當時他們正全力為這座耗電量堪比小型城市的航空樞紐恢復全面供電。
然而，負責運營英國高壓輸電網(wǎng)的國家電網(wǎng)公司首席執(zhí)行官約翰·佩蒂格魯向英國《金融時報》透露，其實。機場關閉期間另有兩座為希思羅供電的變電站始終正常運行，這說明機場從未失去潛在電力供應渠道。
隨著各界對英國關鍵基礎設施抗災能力的擔憂加劇，基爾斯塔默首相周一表示，機場管理層需要就此次大規(guī)模停運事件'作出解釋'。
為何機場沒有配備足夠的備用電源維持運轉(zhuǎn)？"

Heathrow has enough diesel generators to power critical operations, including its control tower and runway lights, and passengers were able to safely leave the airport late on Thursday night after the outage was first ed. But its generators do not have the capacity to run the whole airport.
Simon Gallagher, managing director of UK Networks Services, a consultancy specialising in power grids, said few other airports have better backup supplies than Heathrow.
But he said other industries “are far more resilient”.
“The airport industry as a whole has this issue with resilience?.?.?.?other industries with even bigger connections ensure they never go off supply,” he said.
希思羅機場雖配備有足夠驅(qū)動關鍵設施（包括空管塔臺與跑道指示燈）的柴油發(fā)電機，且在周四夜間首次斷電后已確保乘客安全離場，但其備用電力并不具備支撐整個機場正常運轉(zhuǎn)的能力。
英國專業(yè)電網(wǎng)領域咨詢公司董事總經(jīng)理西蒙·加拉格爾表示，很少有其他機場配置的備用電源能達到希思羅機場的水平。但他也同時指出，其他行業(yè)'抗災能力明顯更強'。

How does Heathrow’s resilience compare?
A nearby data centre run by Ark Data Centres, which is equipped with 12 emergency generators, was also affected by Friday’s substation fire, but says it managed to avoid disruption by switching on its backup supply.
“I don’t think that the people buying services off me would buy them without this resilience built in,” said Huw Owen, Ark’s chief executive.
A 2023 US government found one large hub airport ed having 10 diesel fuel generators and enough fuel on site to power the entire airport for three weeks. The airport was seen as an outlier, analysts said.
Resilience must “strike the right balance between risks and costs”, said Olivier Jankovec, director-general of trade group Airports Council International Europe. “Ensuring minimum disruptions and keeping operations going as much as possible is simply not always possible — especially when faced with rare and extreme events.”

Why did it take so long to restart if power was available?
While the fire took North Hyde substation out of operation, two others remained capable of providing power to the airport. But in order to access the power from the remaining two substations, Heathrow said it had to “reconfigure” its internal electrical networks.
In practice, this meant the airport had to send technicians to its own power distribution points, where they physically toggled circuit breakers to disconnect Heathrow from North Hyde and reconnect it to the other stations.
關鍵疑問：既然電力未斷，為何恢復耗時如此之久？
盡管北海德變電站因火災停運，但另兩座變電站仍具備向機場供電的能力。希思羅機場表示，要接入這兩座變電站的電力，需對其內(nèi)部電網(wǎng)進行'重構配置'。
實際操作中，機場技術團隊需前往自主配電節(jié)點，通過物理切換斷路器實現(xiàn)雙重操作：先切斷與北海德變電站的連接，再接入其他兩座變電站。

The airport also had to shut down, restart and systematically test hundreds of its systems before it could resume operations.
機場還必須關閉、重新啟動，并對數(shù)百個系統(tǒng)進行系統(tǒng)測試后，才能恢復運營。
Heathrow said: “Given Heathrow’s size and operational complexity, safely restarting operations after a disruption of this magnitude was a significant challenge.”
It is unclear how long each step of the process took, and some experts said they were surprised by the length of time it took to return the airport to normal operation.
Heathrow announced at 4.30am on Friday that it would close until midnight, and by 12.30pm it had begun restarting its systems. By 4pm the airport was “100 per cent confident that all systems were safely operating”, said transport secretary Heidi Alexander. The first flights restarted around 7pm.
“In some ways, this seems to [have been] a process failure,” said David Wallom, professor of informatics at Oxford university. “It seems like Heathrow had never considered the possibility of this scale of failure.”

周五凌晨4點30分，希思羅宣布關閉至午夜；中午12點30分啟動系統(tǒng)重啟程序。交通大臣海蒂·亞歷山大表示，至下午4點時機場已'百分百確認所有系統(tǒng)安全運行'。首批航班于晚7點左右復飛。
牛津大學信息學教授戴維·瓦隆指出：'從某些層面看，這暴露出希思羅機場流程缺陷。該機場似乎從未考慮過解決可能可能出現(xiàn)大規(guī)模故障的應急預案。'

Should Heathrow have been better prepared?
All contingency planning requires a “weighing up of the economics”, said Malte Jansen, an energy policy researcher at Sussex university.
“No technical system will be 100 per cent fail-proof,” he said. “I didn’t get the feeling this was a reckless design — the system is designed to be reliable and a very unlikely case has come to fruition.”
Nevertheless, power industry executives said Heathrow should have been better prepared given its status as Europe’s busiest airport. The ability to switch power quickly “should be a minimum standard”, said one executive.
希思羅機場是否應做好更為充分的準備？
薩塞克斯大學能源政策研究員馬爾特·詹森表示，所有應急預案都需進行'經(jīng)濟性權衡'。

然而，電力行業(yè)高管強調(diào)，作為歐洲最為繁忙的機場，希思羅理應具有更為完備的應急預案。某高管直言：'快速切換電源本應是最低標準。'

A 2014 by consultancy Jacobs, prepared as part of an earlier Heathrow expansion push, said “even a brief interruption to electricity supplies could have a long-lasting impact”.
But it concluded “Heathrow is equipped with on-site generation and appears to have resilient electricity supplies that are compliant with regulations and standards”.
Heathrow has spent a total of ￡7.4bn in capital expenditure on the airport since 2014, including on new security scanners. But at a time when landing fees have risen, airlines have criticised its owners for spending this money inefficiently, leaving the airport with ageing infrastructure.

Well, if their disaster recovery and resilience planning is anything to go by, the management at Heathrow dint know what they are doing. This should be absolutely bread and butter basics for a large business like this.
Can they be trusted with a large infrastructure project of the third runway?

Russian sabotage.
俄羅斯人干的
A country led by people who don't have the brain cells to have a backup power supply for its most vital air transport infrastructure asset, is planning on fighting a real war with Russia - a nation that has sustained 3 years of intense war against everything Nato could throw at them (bar nukes) while maintaining a mostly normal life for the vast, vast majority of its huge population spread across 11 time zones.
Britain is a joker state - and as a relevant extra point - the backup power supply was a NetZero biomass generator, which could not activate quickly, while the reliable and cheap diesel engine backup was shut down! Clown nation with a green obsession - but it's ok, a few connected people are living it up off taxapyer subsidies to fund the green projects.
一個連為其最重要的航空運輸基礎設施資產(chǎn)提備用電力都搞不好，高層基本像是腦死亡領導的國家，居然敢去與俄羅斯開戰(zhàn)，你可知對面可是橫跨11個時區(qū)，經(jīng)歷除核武，在北約傾全力支持的高強度戰(zhàn)爭打擊下，不僅硬剛三年，社會運轉(zhuǎn)幾無影響的國家，。
英國就是一個小丑，更具諷刺性的是，機場備用電源竟然用的是無法快速啟動的' NetZero '生物質(zhì)發(fā)電機，而可靠廉價的柴油備用系統(tǒng)卻棄之不用！英國就是一個過分迷信綠色環(huán)保的小丑國家，但沒關系，總會有人通過關系拿著納稅人補貼的'綠色項目'資金，過著紙醉金迷的生活。

Russia is beating Nato hands down. Get out of your propaganda bubble and open your eyes and look at the realities. Only one side is begging for a ceasfire or peacedeal and it isn't Russia.
And please drop this Kiev-myth. The only people who said that Kiev would fall in 3 days was US Gen Mike Milley and American military advisers, prior to the invasion. Putin himself and others in his government never claimed that. Because unlike the jingoist hot air balloons in the UK-ruling Oxbridge clique, Russia (and China etc) never blabber that much about what they intend to do or hope to do. As we know, empty vessels make most noise, and Starmer/UK is making the most noise of all.
俄羅斯正全面碾壓北約。醒醒吧，別活在宣傳泡沫里了,睜眼睛看看現(xiàn)實吧，現(xiàn)在只有一方在苦苦哀求停火和談，但絕不是那個俄羅斯。
至于所謂'三天拿下基輔'的神話，這種話趁早收起來吧。說這話的人是美軍將領馬克·米利和那些美國軍事顧問。普京和他政府高官從未說過此話。畢竟和英國牛津-劍橋統(tǒng)治集團里那些愛說沙文主義大話不同，俄羅斯（和中國等國家）從不吹噓自己。眾所周知，空桶響聲最大，而斯塔默領導的英國，正是時下響聲最大的那只空桶。

Oh diddums - NATO (and its not even NATO, its individual nations) isn't really involved beyond arms, you are fighting Ukraine. We all know what happened in Kiev. Your mighty Z campaign failed. Putin tried to take Kiev and he failed miserably. You are now just fighting for a bit of rump land on Ukraine's periphery and have lost hundreds of thousands of men doing it - and what for, just so Putin can boast about it. Get out of your propaganda bubble and open your eyes troll.
Imagine expecting to take Ukraine in a short time period and finding yourself three years in, bogged down in a pointless long war with nearly a million men dead and having to rely on North Korea for troops.
我去，北約除了提供武器根本沒下場（其實連北約都算不上，都是那些單獨的國家），而你們面對的始終只有一個對手——烏克蘭。基輔發(fā)生了什么大家都看在眼里，你們唬人的'Z行動'已經(jīng)徹底破產(chǎn)，普京占領基輔的意圖徹底失敗?，F(xiàn)在你們只不過是在為奪取烏克蘭周邊那一小塊地在死拼，為此已經(jīng)死了快幾十萬人，別聽普京在那吹啦？醒醒吧，別活在宣傳泡沫里了，你這網(wǎng)絡噴子。
曾經(jīng)信誓旦旦要速戰(zhàn)速決拿下烏克蘭，如今三年過去了，你們深陷這場毫無意義的持久戰(zhàn)，近百萬人死亡，現(xiàn)在還得靠朝鮮派兵來幫忙！。

They blamed Russia for blowing up its own gas pipeline, and for shelling its own nuclear power plant; so I'm going to say, clearly this was an act of sabotage by the British secret services. Of course, they're going to blame Russia.

The negligence of the airport operator here simply astounds me. Even modern datacentres have a requirement for dual sourced power and communications which are connected to their server racks ie. power connected to 2 sub stations and 2 communications hubs in different geographic locations. The fact that Heathrow airport doesn't follow rule 101 of business continuity process (BCP) is simply mind blowing. All our financial institutions would be censured by their regulator if they didn't test their BCP at least annually. This is just bonkers! How???? Makes us look like total amateurs.
希思羅機場的管理疏忽可怕的嚇人?，F(xiàn)代數(shù)據(jù)中心都要求服務器機架配備雙路供電和主備通信鏈路，即連接兩個不同地理位置的變電站和通信樞紐。而希思羅機場竟連“業(yè)務連續(xù)性管理(BCP)”里最基本規(guī)則都沒遵守，簡直都無法想象！如果我們金融機構不每年經(jīng)歷至少一次“業(yè)務連續(xù)性管理”，肯定會被監(jiān)管機構大加懲罰。這簡直太荒唐了！怎么會這樣？？？感覺我們看起來怎么像是那么業(yè)余！

"An executive said that while the airport does have backup power options for its key systems, these do not all necessarily kick in immediately. Once the airport has lost power, its safety critical electronics also need to be tested before flights can resume. “It’s not just like turning on a generator,”
What nonsense - critical IT systems should have back up with uninteruptible power supplies (UPSs) precisely so that they do not need to be rebooted and tested. If this is the calibre of Heathrow's executives no wonder they are in trouble. Perhaps they need to employ more prefessionally qualified engineers. Either that or the "executive" has no clue what he is talking about.
"某高管稱，雖然機場關鍵系統(tǒng)確有備用電源，但并非所有設備都能即時啟動…'
這可不只啟動發(fā)電機那么簡單。'
簡直扯淡——關鍵IT系統(tǒng)是必須配有不間斷電源(UPS)的，它能保證無需重啟檢測。希思羅高管若是真這種水平，難怪會出大問題。他們要么請更專業(yè)的工程師，要么說明這位'高管'根本就是在胡說八道。"
In their defense, substations don’t just go up in flame, there simply isn’t enough flammable material lying around. Yet, here we have a rather sizable fire that conveniently took out both the substation and the backup generator right next to it. So, the real question is: where exactly did all that flammable material suddenly come from?
按道理，變電站不可能平白無故地著大火，因為它周圍不可能放有大量可燃物。但這次大火卻把變電站及其緊鄰的備用發(fā)電機一起都給燒了。所以，真正的問題的，這些突然出現(xiàn)的大量易燃物是從何而來。
