  2. Western Interconnection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Interconnection

    The Western Interconnection is a wide area synchronous grid and one of the two major alternating current (AC) power grids in the North American power transmission grid. The other major wide area synchronous grid is the Eastern Interconnection .

  3. North American power transmission grid - Wikipedia

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

    The Western Interconnection is the other major alternating current (AC) power grid in North America. All of the electric utilities in the Western Interconnection are electrically tied together during normal system conditions and operate at a synchronized frequency of 60 Hz.

    For example, compare the wide area synchronous grid map of Europe (in the introduction) with the map of HVDC lines (here to the right). Solid state transformers have larger losses than conventional transformers, but DC lines lack reactive impedance and overall HVDC lines have lower losses sending power over long distances within a synchronous ...

  5. WECC Intertie Paths - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WECC_Intertie_Paths

    The Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) coordinates a number of high voltage power links in western North America. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] These links, known as WECC Intertie Paths , are not necessarily single transmission line, rather they are interties between various areas.

  6. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

    A wide area synchronous grid, also known as an "interconnection" in North America, directly connects many generators delivering AC power with the same relative frequency to many consumers. For example, there are four major interconnections in North America (the Western Interconnection , the Eastern Interconnection , the Quebec Interconnection ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Electricity...

    The Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) promotes Bulk Electric System (BES) reliability for the entire Western Interconnection system. WECC is the Regional Entity responsible for compliance monitoring and enforcement. In addition, WECC provides an environment for the development of Reliability Standards and the coordination of the ...

    Pacific Intertie transmission routes A dual-circuit 500 kV line forming a part of the connection between Path 66 and Path 15.. California Oregon Intertie (COI), identified as Path 66 by Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), is a corridor of three roughly parallel 500 kV alternating current power lines connecting the electric grids of Oregon and California.
