The newly established Taoyuan International Airport Corporation (TIA) said Thursday that it will consult with experts to figure out if the airport can upgrade its electrical system to cope with power supply problems. Two power outages paralyzed the airport's baggage carousel and left the airport in darkness twice the previous day. Deputy Transportation and Communications Minister Kuang S. Yeh, who doubles as chairman of the TIA, said the two outages were caused by a sudden power reduction from Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) in the first instance and a Taipower test to check that normal supplies had been resumed in the second. 'Although it was Taipower that caused the blackouts, there is room for improvement in the TIA as well, ' Yeh said, adding that the airport will come up with standard operating procedures and improve its ability to deal with emergencies. Airport staff had to activate back-up power systems manually to reset 47 micro- circuit systems around the airport, which is why it took longer than expected, TIA President Lin Perng-liang said. Meanwhile, Taipower said in a news release that the sudden voltage drop lasted for only 0.07 seconds, which does not meet the minimum requirement for the company to be held liable for paying compensation.
