Power Grid Balancing Simulator

Renewable energy is variable by nature — the sun sets, the wind dies down, and demand keeps changing through the day regardless. This simulation models a small grid with solar, wind, a dispatchable gas peaker, battery storage and an interconnector, all balancing against a city's fluctuating load in real time. Watch power flow toward or away from the grid core along each link, and see how grid frequency drifts and recovers as renewable output swings — trigger a passing cloud or a calm spell to see exactly why reserves and fast-ramping backup matter.
