Grid frequency events are caused by shifts in supply and demand, with the frequency dropping with a potentially protracted settling process when demand exceeds supply. The new method is designed to quicken this recovery and eliminate the risk of a frequency second dip, with minimal – less than 1% – loss of wind power capture.
