I understand that power supplied in any grid should match load demands.
How is this done in large grids supplied by coal/oil/hydro/nuclear/wind/solar/etc power stations, when the power demand varies unpredictably?
Is it real-time monitoring of power demand or is a constant maximum power supplied at all times with unused power going into storage?
Thanks in advance.
