Elektrivõrkudesse

Elektrivõrkudesse refers to electricity grids or power networks in Estonian. These are the interconnected systems that deliver electricity from power generation sources to consumers. The primary function of an elektrivõrk is to ensure a reliable and stable supply of electricity. This involves generating electricity, transmitting it over long distances through high-voltage lines, and then distributing it to homes, businesses, and industries via lower-voltage networks.

The operation of an elektrivõrk is complex and requires constant monitoring and management to balance supply and demand. Factors like voltage, frequency, and load must be precisely controlled to prevent disruptions. Modern elektrivõrkudesse are increasingly incorporating renewable energy sources, which can present challenges due to their intermittent nature. Smart grid technologies are being developed and implemented to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and resilience of these networks, allowing for better integration of diverse energy sources and improved management of electricity flow. The maintenance and upgrade of these networks are crucial for energy security and economic development.
