Not every substation but definitely the system is protected against over and under frequency and voltage so that loads can’t be fed 45 Hz for a minute.

If 200 MW of generation trips instantly, which is typical when electrical equipment fails, you need 200 MW to replace it in the next few seconds, and then additional generation to bring the frequency back to Nominal. So far the largest batt

When the frequency is nosediving and below some threshold it is a good sign that you want to switch to your back up power immediately. Even if there isn’t ultimately a cut, it is bad quality power and a sign of system instability

the generator in the wind turbine is not generating at 66 kV. There is a transformer in the base of the turbine to step the voltage up to 66 kV. A 10 MW generator is typically at 6.9 kV, although could be up to 13.8 kV.

The grid was built and operated on n minus 1 redundancy. Any single transmission line or substation transformer can fail and there should not be an outage. But if the other transformer in the same substation fails then you are in the dark.
