Elon Musk's battery factory repaired an Australian state power failure in 140 seconds

Last week, the Loy Yang power plant in Victoria, Australia, suffered power outages. Almost immediately, more than 100 megawatts of electricity were put into the grid to fix the problem.

This is a new record that the Elon Musk plant just set up, which is to overcome the power failure of an entire Australian state in just 140 milliseconds.

Australia's energy minister, Tom Koutsantonis, told the 5AA radio station: 'It was a record, we were really shocked at the speed that this kind of energy was used to overcome. widespread blackouts'.

Mr. Koutsantonis also stressed that this would be the most efficient backup system ever. 'The Torrens Island power plant can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to power its system. Meanwhile, Tesla's battery plant only takes less than a second , Koutsantonis said.

Tesla's world 's largest lithium-ion battery plant was completed only a few weeks ago. This is also the first power outage in South Australia after the Tesla battery plant goes live. Immediately, it showed its effectiveness.

Elon Musk has promised the South Australian government will build the world's largest lithium-ion battery plant for a period of 100 days, if not in time to donate a free factory to Australia. As a result, the plant was completed in just 63 days.

The plant takes power from 99 wind turbines at a nearby farm, run by French company Neoen. Tesla's battery plant is capable of supplying electricity to 30,000 homes within one hour of a widespread blackout.
