Ülekandvõrk

Ülekandevõrk, often translated as transmission network or transfer network, refers to the interconnected system used for the transmission of electricity from power generation facilities to substations and ultimately to consumers. These networks are crucial for maintaining a stable and reliable supply of electricity across a wide geographical area. They consist of high-voltage transmission lines, which carry large amounts of power over long distances with minimal loss, and associated infrastructure such as towers, insulators, and substations. Substations play a vital role in stepping down the voltage from transmission levels to distribution levels, making it suitable for use by residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The design and maintenance of ülekandevõrk are complex, involving sophisticated engineering and ongoing monitoring to prevent outages and ensure efficiency. Factors such as weather conditions, equipment failures, and demand fluctuations are constantly managed to keep the network operational. Modern ülekandevõrk systems often incorporate advanced technologies like smart grid components and renewable energy integration to enhance their flexibility and sustainability. The security and resilience of the transmission network are also paramount, requiring robust protection measures against physical and cyber threats.
