Jaotvõrgu

Jaotvõrgu, often translated as distribution network, refers to the system responsible for delivering electricity from the transmission grid to individual consumers. This network typically operates at lower voltages than the high-voltage transmission lines. It comprises various components including substations, which step down the voltage, and a complex web of overhead power lines and underground cables that extend to homes, businesses, and industries. The primary function of a jaotvõrgu is to ensure a reliable and stable supply of electricity, meeting the fluctuating demands of end-users. Maintenance and upgrades of these networks are crucial for preventing outages and maintaining power quality. They are also increasingly being adapted to integrate renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, which often have intermittent generation patterns. The efficiency and resilience of the jaotvõrgu are key factors in the overall performance of an electricity supply system.
