Part of the reason it Over-production compared to consumption raises the frequency. Under-production compared to consumption lowers the frequency. To balance the frequency, the production of electricity is raised or lowered as required. In addition, the reactive effect is balanced. During failures, creating lower consumption converts under-production to over-production and thus raises the frequency again. There was once a good posting on this on Synth-DIY upon my request. Can't find it by quick google attacks.
