The power grid is very sophisticated and well protected. When one power plant suddenly quits other electricity plants has to make that up and does so very well. Depending on where it is , the size of the unit, load demand at that time it may not be able to therefore it trys to drag the system down. Safe guards are in place to stop that. Kind like your breaker in your house when you overload it it opens to protect your house and the power line coming into your house. Operators in these power houses are trained to watch voltages, amps on there system to and if the right condition arises are suppose to disconnect there selves from the grid. There are documented cases where alert operators have seen this and by doing that saved several hours of down time on the system as they were able to supply electricity to start up units that had tripped and also stopped the problem from going on any further.
