Frequency and voltage management[edit]

Beyond fault management and maintenance one of the main difficulties in power systems is that the
active power consumed plus losses must equal the active power produced. If load is reduced while
generation inputs remain constant the synchronous generators will spin faster and the system
frequency will rise. The opposite occurs if load is increased. As such the system frequency must be
actively managed primarily through switching on and off dispatchable loads and generation. Making
sure the frequency is constant is usually the task of a system operator.[49] Even with frequency
maintained, the system operator can be kept occupied ensuring:

i. equipment or customers on the system are being supplied with the required voltage
ii. reactive power transmission is minimised (leading to more efficient operation)
iii. teams are dispatched and the system is switched to mitigate any faults
iv. remote switching is undertaken to allow for system works[50]
