of a power system to maintain a steady
frequency after a severe disturbance.
Disturbances mainly related to power
imbalance of generation and consumption
(e.g. due to power plant outages).
As frequency is a system-wide reference
variable, frequency instabilities have an
wide-area impact.
Spinning reserve of synchronously
connected generating units with rotating
masses limit steepness of frequency drops.
Load-frequency control activates reserves
to countermeasure frequency drops.
Due to a decrease of synchronously
connected power plants, frequency stability
may be endangered in the future.
