The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Since a power grid requires that generation and load closely balance moment by moment, frequent adjustments to the output of generators are necessary.
- The balance can be judged by measuring the system frequency, if it is increasing, more power is being generated than used, which causes all the machines in the system to accelerate.
- If the system frequency is decreasing, more load is on the system than the instantaneous generation can provide, which causes all generators to slow down.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Automatic generation control article was read about 6,900 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 48 and blocks with 29: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
