Abstract
Although system loads fluctuate rapidly and are typically measured at
2-second intervals by utility control centers, generation does not tra
ck these high-speed fluctuations. Analysis of data from a large Midwes
tern control area shows that generation tracks load at roughly the 1-
to 2-minute level. In addition, some of the generating units assigned
to this regulation service actually contribute to the regulating burde
n.
