“Continuing difficulties in producing suitable LIL protection and control software and converter station issues remain a focus of our quarterly reviews,” the report states. “We also address a series of weather-related events that have caused the LIL’s overhead dc line to experience equipment failures at a very much greater-than-expected frequency.”
“General Electric’s estimation that it can cure this round of software failings, perform testing and secure completion of the 700MW overload test should, under the circumstances, generate the same level of substantial doubt as have its past predictions of LIL progress. The most recent failure also adds to concern about whether the LIL can reach in any definable time period an ultimate level of performance consistent with what its design has contemplated.
