Claims20
A substation of an electricity grid system, the substation connecting two grid parts operating at different frequencies and/or voltage levels, the substation comprising means for monitoring a parameter indicative of the electricity available from and/or the electricity required by the two grid parts and responsive flow control means for controlling the flow of electricity between the two grid parts in response to the parameter of the two grid parts, characterized in that
- said means for monitoring is configured to derive the parameter of one or both of the grid parts from an integration of a frequency of said one or both of the grid parts since a reset point.
A substation as claimed in claim 8, wherein the value parameter comprises a monetary price value.
