So I thought and then we had a multi week frequency shift in the EU and various clocks started lagging behind. This does show up for consumers as well.
- jacques_chester 7y agoGenerally grids try to average out to their target frequency over some period (24hrs, for example) because so many timekeeping systems rely on counting cycles. So sometimes they will run slightly above target and sometimes they will let it run slightly below target. Ordinary daily demand cycles help.
