Accumulated energy (inertia)

Power transfer to consumers resumes when the accumulated power rises above this level.

Power transfer to consumers stops if the accumulated power falls below this level.

Accumulated energy, or inertia, indicates how much rotational energy is currently stored in the shaft. Mechanical power producers, like turbines, increase inertia by spinning, while consumers, such as generators, draw power from it. If inertia drops too low, consumers won't function until the shaft's power is recharged to a sufficient level. The storage capacity for inertia can be increased by adding flywheels.

Connected shaft

This machine is linked to a shaft that enables the exchange of mechanical power. All interconnected machines form a single shaft system, allowing seamless power transfer between them.
