Balancing Generation and Load … Continued<br />

• Generators can only operate within a narrow range of<br />

frequencies<br />

• Protection devices disconnect generators from rest of the system<br />

when the frequency is too low, causing further imbalance<br />

between load and generation<br />

• A large sudden regional imbalance between load and<br />

generation in a system connected to other systems can<br />

cause the disconnection of their tie-lines.<br />

• System operator must maintain frequency within limits<br />
