Grid Frequency Regulation EV Fleet Charging Optimization

An ISO (Independent System Operator) manages a 45GW regional grid. Grid frequency must stay within 59.95–60.05 Hz — deviations beyond this range trigger automatic load shedding. With 12GW of intermittent solar and wind, frequency stability is a second-by-second challenge.

⚠SCADA polls every 4 seconds. A 180ms frequency excursion to 59.91 Hz caused a 2GW automatic load shed last summer because the control room saw it 3.6 seconds too late.

✓RisingWave processes 50,000 PMU readings/second. When frequency at substation PMU-4401 drops to 59.93 Hz with rate-of-change at -0.08 Hz/s, the system dispatches battery reserves within 200ms.
