  2. Power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_transmission

    Power transmission is usually performed with overhead lines as this is the most economical way to do so. Underground transmission by high-voltage cables is chosen in crowded urban areas and in high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) submarine connections.

  3. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

    Electric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, such as a power plant, to an electrical substation. The interconnected lines that facilitate this movement form a transmission network .

  4. History of electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_electric_power...

    Electric power transmission, the tools and means of moving electricity far from where it is generated, date back to the late 19th century.They include the movement of electricity in bulk (formally called "transmission") and the delivery of electricity to individual customers ("distribution").

  5. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

    Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.

  6. North American power transmission grid - Wikipedia

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

    The transmission grids are operated by transmission system operators (TSOs), not-for profit companies that are typically owned by the utilities in their respective service areas, where they coordinate, control and monitor the operation of the electrical power system. TSOs are obliged to provide nondiscriminatory transmission access to ...

  7. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

    Electric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, via a web of interconnected lines, to an electrical substation, from which is connected to the distribution system. This networked system of connections is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers.

  8. Electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power

    Electric power, produced from central generating stations and distributed over an electrical transmission grid, is widely used in industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. A country's per capita electric power consumption correlates with its industrial development.

  9. Power engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_engineering

    Power engineering, also called power systems engineering, is a subfield of electrical engineering that deals with the generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power, and the electrical apparatus connected to such systems.
