In the power grid, generation and consumption need to be balanced in order to maintain a frequency of 50 Hertz. The masses of large-scale power plants, which rotate in synchronisation with the grid frequency of 50 Hertz, ensure that these fluctuations are dampened so that the system responds to these deviations in a more inert way.
