What I gather from the (incomplete) data, indeed the backup plant would have fired up in about 6 seconds. Isn't it wasteful/inefficient/expensive though, to fire up a whole plant if just providing a few seconds of electricity from a battery is enough to bring a grid back to nominal frequency?
- makomk 9y agoThe reason the frequency dipped is because not enough generating power was online to supply the demand. In order to bring it back up to nominal frequency and keep it there, something had to keep supplying the extra power required for as long as it was being used.
