Whatever they do with the 60Hz standard is NOT going to fly unnoticed . Synchronized power grid has worked for many , many years and many different machines (besides the alarm clocks) are dependent upon a stable , reliable frequency source . If something works so well -- then why would somebody want to mess it up ? Because the frequency shift comes from loading down the grid. And to keep it stable, they fire up the peaking plants. These are gas turbines or a big coal plant that they keep on standby. Either way, it's expensive. This way they can skimp a little bit on that. The World Radio TV Handbook had notes for each country that doesn't have grid stable enough to run a clock. Welcome to the Third World. Mark Zenier Googleproofaddress(account:mzenier provider:eskimo domain:com) Can you point me to a reference? They've only had "peaker" plants since the War. It seems if the turbines are slowed by a heavy load in the daytime they could be sped up an equal amount during lower demand, averaging 60 cycles per second over a period of a day |
