How adaptive computing infrastructure stabilizes the Croatian power grid
Croatia is transforming its energy system: more renewables, but also more fluctuations. The grid must react to volatile supply – in real time.
The European power grid operates at a frequency of 50 Hertz – the shared beat for generation and consumption.
If more power is generated than consumed, the frequency rises. Minimal fluctuations must be corrected within seconds.
The more generation fluctuates, the greater the effort to keep this beat constant.
Status: Grid stable
Renewable energy follows natural conditions and is subject to strong fluctuations.
Demand is stable, but the imbalance with volatile supply is the core problem.
Classic balancing mechanisms often react too slowly or are limited.
Many consumers cannot adjust to fluctuations, making integration harder.
Renewables feed in unevenly while consumption remains stable. This imbalance requires precise interventions.
Without flexible, intelligent infrastructure, the system cannot be stabilized efficiently.
