i personally find that the demands last too short and i would like it if they would last a bit longer ( not sure if this is done for realism or something tho )
#demand lengths

In a realism sense there isn’t even be demand following you would just run at max output. But yea makes sense for longer Demands
mighty kayak
since demands change really quickly currently
empty shadow
It’s every minutes which (to in game time) is every hour. I mean like during peak hours you don’t even have to change our output that much
mighty kayak
yeah
empty shadow
But you can get a from 430 down to 120 when you go from peak hours to low hour
But longer times wouldn’t fix the problem. The devs would need to better implement that the demand goes up reaches peak goes down and doesn’t just abruptly falls
Or abruptly go to max
mighty kayak
tbh i dont mind the jumps but i do having to change the wickets ( demand ) every minute
empty shadow
IMO the devs should focus on other stuff. Like they are currently remodeling and reprogramming basically everything
mighty kayak
yes true but im pretty sure demand time is just maybe 1 or 2 likes in a script
empty shadow
idk
mighty kayak
but depends how they scripted it

Yea

your usually not changine load from 450KW to 160 in the span of 5 minutes for 24 hours

it's hydro, not nuclear or lignite
hydro just gets a +- setpoint and agc stays within that

Btw what the hell is "lignite"

coal but way worse quality
I keep referring to coal plants as lignite cuz of my grid sim xD

coal but way worse quality
But coal is normally also not used in lead/demand following

As a German we had many coal plants (most/all have been Shutdown for "clean" power)

you would be surprised

Tbh most reactors are just a fancy way to boil water
wanton kettle
most of the time they just run at half capacity because they aren't allowed higher

Thats named: Baseloading
You get a day and night amount and you stay at those setpoints
wanton kettle
Thats named: Baseloading
not exactly, base loading normally refers to staying at full power for a long amount of time

Baseloading can also refer to staying at a certain output for long time (atleast from what I know)
wanton kettle

what is this? the first ever grid made? xD
you don't do anything
you don't stay in any setpoints
it's normal frequency control that agc does
and the grid control center just tells agc the minimum and maximum output the generator can make
wanton kettle
It could be that my brain is fried (its 1 am)
no it's because no one here actually knows how grids work
it's all rbwr propaganda with demands
that everyone followed
empty shadow
Ik that demands are semi unrealistic. Mostly added so players actually do stuff
wanton kettle
well anyway we kinda went off topic here lol
wanton kettle
come on it's annoying every 60 seconds
I still stand by this ^

ty germany ❤️
i support the idea too
atleast 2 or 3 minutes (hours faketime) if not

no there are plants i know like SAB that run at the highest load they can
but during the night they use pumped storage as a way to store water
because thats when the highest generation is

ehh it changes based on what the grid operators want

ehh it changes based on what the grid operators want
we usually baseload hydro and nuclear and use plants like halton for peaking
