How Does Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Work?

  • Thread starter AV8Electric
  • Start date
In summary, electric power transmission and distribution refers to the process of transferring electricity from power plants to end users through a network of power lines and transformers. The electricity is generated at power plants using various sources such as coal, natural gas, or renewable energy. It is then converted into high-voltage electricity and transmitted through transmission lines to substations. At the substations, the electricity is stepped down to lower voltages and distributed through distribution lines to homes, businesses, and other buildings. Distribution transformers are used to further lower the voltage for safe use by consumers. This complex system of transmission and distribution allows for reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to meet the demands of modern society.
