The National Grid: Coping Under Stress. Before, During and After the Pandemic
An introductory essay to an open ended series examining how the national grid coped under stress during and after the pandemic. This essay contains 3 animated data visualisations intended to provide a view into the operational dynamics of the national grid during 2019, 2020 and 2021.
The National Grid: Coping Under Stress. Before, During and After the Pandemic
The following is an introductory essay on trying to answer the question of "How did the National Grid cope under stress during and after the pandemic". It is the beginning of a process of trying to answer that question and making public the process of doing so rather than simply writing about the results. This is a complex subject and the grid is a large, dynamic and finely balanced system. I want to engage directly with the dynamics of that system and shed light on how it responds to change both within itself and to the economy and public which it serves. There are three animated data visualisations presented here as an attempt to start grappling with the question. I expect this to be an ongoing series and the visualisations will evolve as I progress and iterate over time, hopefully with feedback and engagement.
