    The Open Access Same-Time Information System (OASIS), is an Internet-based system for obtaining services related to electric power transmission in North America.It is the primary means by which high-voltage transmission lines are reserved for moving wholesale quantities of electricity.

  3. North American power transmission grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_power...

    The electrical power grid that powers Northern America is not a single grid, but is instead divided into multiple wide area synchronous grids. [1] The Eastern Interconnection and the Western Interconnection are the largest. Three other regions include the Texas Interconnection, the Quebec Interconnection, and the Alaska Interconnection.

    China's electricity suppliers plan to complete by 2020 its ultra high voltage AC synchronous grid linking the current North, Central, and Eastern grids. [30] When complete, its generation capacity will dwarf that of the UCTE Interconnection. Unified Smart Grid unification of the US interconnections into a single grid with smart grid features.

  5. Microgrid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgrid

    A microgrid is a local electrical grid with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity. [1] It is able to operate in grid-connected and off grid. [2] [3] A stand-alone or isolated microgrid only operates off-the-grid and cannot be connected to a wider electric power system. [4] Very small microgrids are called ...

  6. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

    An electrical grid (or electricity network) is an interconnected network for electricity delivery from producers to consumers. Electrical grids consist of power stations , electrical substations to step voltage up or down, electric power transmission to carry power over long distances, and finally electric power distribution to customers.

  7. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    [8] From the generating station it goes to the generating station's switchyard where a step-up transformer increases the voltage to a level suitable for transmission, from 44 kV to 765 kV. Once in the transmission system, electricity from each generating station is combined with electricity produced elsewhere.

    In short, an ISO operates a region's electricity grid, administers the region's wholesale electricity markets, and provides reliability planning for the region's bulk electricity system. Today's RTOs do the same thing with an added component of greater responsibility for the transmission network, as established by the FERC.
