I Wanted to know the reason why more energy was released. But i look on wikipedia, even if i didn't find the answer to my question, I find something interesting.

Scientific understanding
The concept of heliocentrism, with the Sun at the centre of the solar system, was first suggested in ancient India by Yajnavalkya (circa 9th century BC) in his Shatapatha Brahmana, which referred to the Earth as a sphere and the Sun as the "centre of spheres". Based on this heliocentric model, the distance of the Sun from the Earth was accurately measured as 108 times the diameter of the Sun, very close to the modern measurement of 107.6 times the Sun's diameter. The calendar described in the text corresponds to an average tropical year of 365.2467 days, which was close to the modern value of 365.2422 days.
One of the first people in the Western world to offer a scientific explanation for the sun was the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras, who reasoned that it was a giant flaming ball of metal even larger than the Peleponessus, and not the chariot of Helios. For teaching this heresy, he was imprisoned by the authorities and sentenced to death (though later released through the intervention of Pericles).
The Indian astronomer-mathematician Aryabhata in the 5th century CE, in his magnum opus Aryabhatiya, propounded a heliocentric model where the Earth was taken to be spinning on its axis, and the periods of the planets were given with respect to a stationary Sun. He was also the first to discover that the light from the Moon and the planets were reflected from the Sun, and that the planets follow an elliptical orbit around the Sun; thus he propunded an eccentric elliptical model of the planets, whereby he accurately calculated many astronomical constants, such as the time of the solar eclipse. Bhaskara (1114-1185) expanded on Aryabhata's heliocentric model in his treatise Siddhanta-Shiromani, where he mentioned the law of gravity, and discovered that the planets don't orbit the Sun at a uniform velocity. Arabic translations of Aryabhata's Aryabhatiya were available from the 8th century, while Latin translations were available from the 13th century, before the time of Copernicus, so it's quite possible that Aryabhata's work had an influence on Copernicus' ideas.

It sounds like they had pumped some energy into the fields somewhere and when they started to turn down the power some of it came back and reheated the plasma.
