60 Hz

Greeting all,

How does automatic generation control maintain system frequency near the scheduled value( usually 60 Hz ) during normal conditions.

This would have been an excellent answer, had the question actually been "How well does..."

Seeing how it wasn't though...

The device or system you mention is commonly called a "governor." There are several (maybe even many) types. In general, they all have a means of translating the speed of the equipment (engine, turbine, motor, etc.) into a signal that adjusts the amount of fuel, steam, water (whatever makes the equipment move). For an engine, if the speed increases, the governor decreases the amount of fuel fed to the engine, thereby maintaining it at or near the correct speed.
