ACvõrkudes

AC võrkudes refers to alternating current (AC) electrical power grids. These grids are the backbone of modern electricity distribution, delivering power from generation sources to consumers. AC electricity is favored for its ability to be easily transformed to different voltage levels, making it efficient for long-distance transmission and safe for household use. The generation of AC power typically occurs at power plants using alternators, which produce a sinusoidal voltage waveform. This AC current then flows through a network of transmission lines, stepping up the voltage for efficient transport over long distances and then stepping it down again at substations for distribution to homes and businesses. The frequency of the AC current, such as 50 Hz or 60 Hz, is standardized within different regions to ensure compatibility of electrical appliances. The management and operation of these AC võrkudes involve complex systems for load balancing, fault detection, and protection to ensure a stable and reliable supply of electricity.
