distributionsnettet
Distributionsnettet, or the distribution network, is the part of the electrical grid that delivers electricity from regional transmission networks to end users such as homes, businesses, and public services. It typically operates at medium and low voltage levels and includes a network of distribution substations, feeders, transformers, cables and overhead lines, as well as protection, control, and monitoring equipment. The distribution network is usually owned and operated by distribution system operators (DSOs), which coordinate with the transmission system operator (TSO) to ensure safe and reliable delivery of power.
Key functions of the distribution network include voltage regulation to match customer needs, fault isolation and
Regulation and governance of the distributionsnettet are typically carried out by national or regional energy authorities
Challenges facing the distribution network include aging infrastructure, the rising share of DER, increasing peak demand,
