Energiahäire
Energiahäire is a Finnish term that translates to "energy disturbance" or "power anomaly." It broadly refers to any unexpected or undesirable deviation from the normal or expected flow of energy within a system. This system can be electrical, mechanical, biological, or even conceptual. In the context of electrical power grids, an energiahäire might manifest as a voltage sag, a surge, an interruption, or harmonic distortion. These disturbances can have various causes, including equipment failures, lightning strikes, switching operations, or sudden changes in load. The consequences of such disturbances can range from minor inconveniences, like flickering lights, to significant problems such as damage to sensitive electronic equipment, disruption of industrial processes, or even widespread power outages.
Beyond electrical systems, the concept of energiahäire can be applied metaphorically. For instance, in a biological
