elektrienergiavõrgu

Elektrienergiavõrk, often translated as electricity grid or power grid, refers to the interconnected system used to deliver electric power from producers to consumers. It is a complex network comprising generation facilities, transmission lines, substations, and distribution networks. Generation facilities, such as power plants fueled by fossil fuels, nuclear energy, or renewable sources like solar and wind, produce the electricity. This electricity is then transmitted over long distances at high voltages via transmission lines, which are typically carried on large pylons. Substations play a crucial role in stepping down the voltage for safer and more efficient distribution. The distribution network then carries electricity at lower voltages through local lines and poles to homes, businesses, and industries. Modern elektrienergia võrk systems are increasingly incorporating smart technologies, allowing for better monitoring, control, and integration of diverse energy sources, including distributed generation and energy storage. The reliability and stability of the grid are paramount to ensure a continuous and uninterrupted supply of electricity.
