Rules

Alright freshie! You are now in charge of the national power grid. You have one goal, and one goal only. Keep the grid running.

Adjust power generation on the fly to keep it at the 50hz value! Too high, or too low and the grid will shut down! DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!

You gotta juggle the following,

• Coal. Infinite power. Slow to spool up or down. 
• Hydro. Spins up and down faster than coal, but runs out. Replenishes faster when it rains.
• Gas. Spins up fast. Runs out fast. 
• Solar. You have no control over this. Works when its sunny. Does not work as well when its cloudy, and does not work at night.
• Battery. Smooths the grid out. Will soak up excess, and release to keep it stable, but will run out! 

Now listen up youngblood, ya gotta juggle all of the above to ensure the grid remains stable. Got it? Now get to work, I gotta fix myself a ham sandwich.

Behind the Scenes

I watched this video some time ago about how in Britain they watch TV and control the power demand on the fly. This seemed like an interesting idea for a game, and here it is.
