I am not an electrician but I try to tell you what I understand.
The grid has a frequency and this is 50hz at normal level.
When there is to little the frequency drops and when there is to much it rises.
Until a point this is normal, under 49,9HZ they start some plants to stabalize it and when it is to high the grid needs to shut down some generators or find someone who takes the overproduces energy.
In both ways it can cause a blackout.
I couldnt find a article in english and this problem is much easier to handle as to little energy but it could take the grid to its limit.
I hope this was the answer you hoped for and I would be happy to learn more about this.

Thanks @d4rk3n3mi3 for the insight. The question has been answered now. You actually made it clear by making a reference to the effects of frequency regulation. Frequency must be monitored and regulated to avoid system collapse. There are two different frequencies, 50Hhz and 60Hz.
In the UK, most of Europe, Africa, Australia, Southern South America, most of Asia, and Russia, the frequency of the alternating current in household electrical outlets is 50 Hz .
In North America and parts of Japan, on the other hand, a standard frequency of 60 Hz is used.
Thanks once again! I am following you for more educative posts.
