Thank you Dargo-You mentioned something very important-The frequency-which as to be as close to 50 Hz as possible.
If people use more power than there's electricity the frequency will drop and the country has to buy or produce more electricity and if it goes up..then either sell og shut down some turbine.
Skybird posted a very interesting video about German power grid some weeks ago. Sad thing is It's German.
