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 />
