http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#IsolatedProjectViabilityMaskingSystemicRiskState
Active period
From Engineer A's initial equivalence finding through recognition of broader grid-stress implications
Affected parties
Engineer A
Local grid users
Organization/Board
Confidence
0.95
Importance
high
Subject
Solar-without-storage system appearing viable in isolation (equivalent energy, similar cost, reduced carbon) while masking systemic grid reliability risk
Terminated by
Engineer A's full disclosure of systemic reliability implications to the board
Triggering event
Finding that solar system produces equivalent energy at similar cost, which is accurate in isolation but incomplete without reliability and grid-impact context
Urgency level
high
Source Evidence
Source text
the solar generation system without storage will provide energy generation equivalent to the existing fossil-fueled generator at a similar cost; the system also reduces the organization's carbon footprint.
Text references
At first glance, this finding in conjunction with the earlier conclusion that system reliability data be included in the report to board may seem to satisfy Engineer A's obligations.
Further, a system without energy storage decreases the reliability of the entire local electric power system.
Note that 'equivalent' as used to this point in the discussion has not addressed reliability.
the solar generation system without storage will provide energy generation equivalent to the existing fossil-fueled generator at a similar cost; the system also reduces the organization's carbon footprint.
