The grid frequency will droop by an imperceptible amount as the train energizes. as the size of the load increases or the generating power decreases such that the load is a relatively large portion of generating capacity this frequency change may be a step function. At which point the grid must adjust in the manner described by this and other answers, and if this does not happen, desynchronization will occur. | |

At which point you will need to shut down and start everything again. | |

Or balancing works in that case? "perfect balance doesn't exist in nature" "Yes it does." This is were I'm lost. Does the floor know how much support you need? What about train passing on a bridge? "From the generator via the grid." Then other users should be robbed of power, no? | |
