abstract = {The grid frequency is the power system’s heartbeat,
gauging the balance between generation and demand. In this
article, we show how frequency dynamics and control can be
understood in terms of a paradigmatic model of theoretical
physics: the overdamped harmonic oscillator. Using frequency
measurements and tools from complex systems, we can see when
control steps in, why lower mechanical inertia makes modern
grids more jittery, and how the “noise” in the frequency
can be used as a clue for better diagnoses and smarter
control — especially in renewable resources-dependent
systems.},
