Ylijäämävirrat
Ylijäämävirrat, also known as surplus flows, refer to the excess energy or resources that a system produces beyond its immediate needs or demand. In the context of electrical grids, ylijäämävirrat represent the electricity generated by power plants that exceeds the current consumption by all connected users. This surplus energy can arise from various factors, such as unexpected drops in demand, overestimation of future needs, or the high output from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power during periods of peak generation.
Managing ylijäämävirrat is crucial for grid stability. If left unmanaged, a significant surplus can lead to
