> steam based thermodynamic cycles Technical question: my understanding is that the frequency of an electrical grid is literally related to the RPM of turbines providing power, and that over/under frequency are related to supply and demand. https://www.brighthubengineering.com/power-plants/45640-grid-frequency-and-speed-effects-on-power-generation/ https://www.brighthubengineering.com/power-plants/45640-grid... If we hypothetically had a grid that was 100% solar, presumably there'd no longer be any spinning turbines. At that point, would the grid frequency be completely synthetic? How would supply/demand impact the frequency in that case?
