I know they can but I don't have the knowledge of how to integrate that into a circuit system that kicks on if the power level dips too low.

I have a system set up whereby I have a field of fluid tanks each with a pump in between them that all link up to a series of steam turbines.
Junk wood gets fed into boilers which have their steam output stored in the tank field.
If the base power ever dips unacceptably low, I hit a switch and the tanks start sending their steam contents into the steam turbines and I can have a temporary source of emergency power.
I'd like to automate the process such that it can detect when there's a low power alarm and turn on automatically but I'm not good enough with circuits to do that as of yet.
