A huge part of previously installed grid scale battery power (like famous pilot Tesla plants in Australia) were precisely for frequency stability. Considerable portion of automatic cutoff or otherwise curtailment support systems in smart meters and the like is also related to grid stability contracts. Sometimes it's as little as "giving more time for steam generator to up the pressure" while wind/solar wanes, but it means there's less load on turbines which means there's less desynchronization which means less possibility of catastrophic failure due to unexpected flows in the grid. So, 6MW might be a little, and the comparison suggests it enabled more power for houses, but such little details can mean considerable differences in keeping grid frequency in sync and preventing further outage |
