Two alternatives to Electrical grid storage are the use of peaking power plants to fill in supply gaps and demand response to shift load to other times.
| FactSnippet No. 1,431,995 |
Demand, or load on an electrical grid is the total electrical power being removed by the users of the grid.
| FactSnippet No. 1,431,996 |
Conversely, when the Electrical grid is heavily loaded, the frequency naturally slows, and governors adjust their generators so that more power is output .
| FactSnippet No. 1,431,997 |
Sum of the maximum power outputs of the generators attached to an electrical grid might be considered to be the capacity of the grid.
| FactSnippet No. 1,431,998 |
Firm capacity is the maximum power output on a Electrical grid that is immediately available over a given time period, and is a far more useful figure.

One downside to a widely connected Electrical grid is thus the possibility of cascading failure and widespread power outage.

Wide area synchronous Electrical grid, known as an "interconnection" in North America, directly connects many generators delivering AC power with the same relative frequency to many consumers.
| FactSnippet No. 1,432,001 |
Wide area synchronous grid is an electrical grid at a regional scale or greater that operates at a synchronized frequency and is electrically tied together during normal system conditions.
| FactSnippet No. 1,432,002 |
One disadvantage of a wide-area synchronous Electrical grid is that problems in one part can have repercussions across the whole Electrical grid.
| FactSnippet No. 1,432,003 |
Super Electrical grid or superElectrical grid is a wide-area transmission network that is intended to make possible the trade of high volumes of electricity across great distances.
| FactSnippet No. 1,432,004 |
Electrical grid interconnectors allow for economies of scale, allowing energy to be purchased from large, efficient sources.
| FactSnippet No. 1,432,005 |
The electrical grid was originally constructed so that electricity would flow from power providers to consumers.
| FactSnippet No. 1,432,006 |
Smart grid would be an enhancement of the 20th century electrical grid, using two-way communications and distributed so-called intelligent devices.
| FactSnippet No. 1,432,007 |
Smart Electrical grid would allow the power industry to observe and control parts of the system at higher resolution in time and space.
| FactSnippet No. 1,432,008 |
One of the purposes of the smart Electrical grid is real time information exchange to make operation as efficient as possible.
| FactSnippet No. 1,432,009 |
Management system is the subsystem in smart Electrical grid that provides advanced management and control services.
| FactSnippet No. 1,432,010 |
Protection system of a smart Electrical grid provides Electrical grid reliability analysis, failure protection, and security and privacy protection services.
