How do power stations stay in phase?

Best Answers

They negotiate how much power each generating station supplies to the grid. In addition to the buy/sell transactions, they monitor and manage the performance of the grid. When a generator is connected, it matches the voltage, frequency and phase at the local connection point. read more

Power station frequency is adjusted to maintain frequency and to deliver power to stabilize the line voltage. This is done through control system algorithms that have information of power flows on the transmission lines, target line voltage, and target line frequency. read more
