grid stability

Grid stability refers to the reliable balance between electricity supply and demand at all times, ensuring consistent power delivery. It involves maintaining a stable frequency (usually around 50 or 60 Hz) and voltage, so that energy flows smoothly without outages or fluctuations. Stability depends on proper coordination of generators, storage, and consumption, and involves managing fluctuations from renewable sources like wind and solar. When demand exceeds supply or equipment faults occur, grid stability can be threatened, risking blackouts or equipment damage. Keeping the grid stable is essential for safe, efficient, and continuous electricity services.
