Sorry MeDroogies, I'm afraid Alomex has won this one, at least in my estimation.

but there is a problem with that: 25% of the machines stop at the same time.

Why would that be necessary?

Again why?

Normally, usage falls off gradually, allowing dispatchers to call for generators to shut down. While the generators can flex their output current within ranges, a sudden 25% drop in usage will result in over currents, voltage spikes, and circuit breakers tripping.
But I doubt that that will all happen.
