Jülich team solves 60-second power grid mystery: battery storage checks

Jülich team publishes solution to global 60-second grid frequency dips

3 Oct 31 · 8d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 3 of 3

A team from Forschungszentrum Jülich, University of Cologne, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology published findings in Nature Energy identifying the cause of recurring power grid fluctuations observed by TenneT Germany and globally: synchronized power checks by large-scale battery storage systems occurring every 60 seconds at the minute mark.

“It really was years of detective work. It quickly became clear to us that the cause must be something controlled by the clock.”
