How do you phase lock the French grid to the Belgian Grid to the Dutch

Are they phased locked? I don't know.

Most of Europe is phase locked.

Fascinating. I would have thought they would have avoided that due to
the buggeration factor.

Is there a supergrid organisation that manages this euro-grid at the top
level then?

I really don't know.

I think each nation has its own but presumably they have to phase lock
with each other before they start interconnecting



So I wonder who regulated the frequency?

And what happens if one end starts to "wobble" (phase angle
oscillation)? Do they just island the country.
