Transmission and Distribution Networks
Transmission and distribution networks are essential components of the electrical grid that deliver electricity from power plants to consumers. The transmission network consists of high-voltage power lines that transport electricity over long distances, minimizing energy loss. This network connects generation sources, such as power plants, to substations.
Once electricity reaches substations, the distribution network takes over, delivering lower-voltage electricity to homes and businesses. This network includes transformers and local power lines that ensure safe and reliable access to electricity for everyday use. Together, these networks enable the efficient flow of energy from producers to end-users.
