Balancing generation and load
The most important indicator of the balance between generation and load in the control area is the grid frequency. However, if too much or too little electricity is fed into the grid, the grid frequency may fluctuate and deviate from its target value of 50 hertz. Our system control ensures that the frequency does not fall below 49.8 hertz or exceed 50.2 hertz – otherwise we have to use our toolkit to bring the frequency back into the stable range.
