elektrivarustussüsteemis
An elektrivarustussüsteem, or electricity supply system, is a network responsible for generating, transmitting, distributing, and supplying electrical energy to consumers. This complex system ensures that homes, businesses, and industries receive a reliable and consistent flow of electricity. The process begins with electricity generation, typically through power plants utilizing various sources like fossil fuels, nuclear power, or renewable energy. The generated electricity is then stepped up to high voltages for efficient long-distance transmission over power lines. Subsequently, the voltage is reduced at substations for distribution to local areas. Finally, a distribution network delivers electricity at usable voltages to individual end-users. Key components of an elektrivarustussüsteem include generators, transformers, switchgear, transmission lines, distribution lines, and substations. Reliability and stability are paramount, with systems often incorporating redundancy and advanced monitoring to prevent and quickly resolve outages. The design and operation of these systems are crucial for modern society's functioning.
