Easter Egg · Microgrid Challenge

Keep the Lights On

Balance solar, battery, and diesel against a full day's demand — and keep the grid frequency at 50 Hz. Miss the balance for too long and the lights go out.

How to play

Run the grid for one day

  • Keep the white marker in the green zone (≈50 Hz) by matching supply to demand.
  • Solar is free but only shines midday — bank the extra by charging the battery.
  • Spend that stored energy in the evening peak. Start the diesel genset only when you must — it hurts your score.
  • If grid stability hits zero, the city goes dark. Survive to midnight to win.
