Original Answer:
If the power was being generated by a generator all that has to be done is slow the RPM of the generator down until the frequency meter reads 50 Hertz. On a hydro site it would be the same scenario by slowing the turbine down.
Improved Answer:
changing frequency is one of the more difficult things to do. Decreasing the speed of a generator is not a practical answer if the power comes from grid. You can use a variable frequency drive, or a motor generator set (Where the motor is rated for 60HZ, and the Generator is rated at 50 Hertz).
For practical purposes, just get rid of the 50 hertz device and buy a new one.

Can you plug a 100 volt power tool into a 110 volt outlet?
Never heard of a power tool that runs on 100 volts AC. It would have to be 108 to 120 volts or 220 to 240 volts. It will work on the 120 volt outlet if is it 60 hertz in the U.S. or 50 Hrtz in some other countries. If it is 50 Hrtz then do not use it in the U.S. without a converter.
Will a 220 volt 50 Hertz refrigerator work on 220 volt 60 Hertz?
No because the pump motor will run too fast and the lifetime of the fridge will be severely reduced.
Can 50 Hertz multi tester be used on 60 Hertz 220 volts for testing voltage?
Any of the multi testers that I have come across are not frequency sensitive. I use a Fluke process meter and it can be used to measure frequency if that scale is selected. Voltage is voltage, amperage is amperage and resistance is resistance regardless of what he frequency is.
Will a 50 hertz digital piano work on 60 hertz power supply?
It should be all right. The main thing to get right is the supply voltage, because usually 50 Hz goes with 220-240 v and 60 Hz goes with 120 v.

Will AC 220-240v 50hz battery charger work in America?
No, the U.S. electrical system is 60 hertz not 50 hertz. The only way you can use it is if the charger will operate at 50 & 60 hertz which is unlikely but possible. It will be listed on the charger if it will operate at a lower hertz.
Would 220 volts 60 hz appliances work on 110 volts 50 hz and vice versa?
No it would not.
Will 240 V support 50Hz?
Yes, 240 volts is generated at 50 Hertz. This is a European frequency where as the frequency generated in North America is 60 Hertz.
How do you put 220 electricity in your house?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.220 volts automatically comes into your house on any three wire utility connection.
