jaotuvvõrk

A jaotuvvõrk, or distribution network, refers to the system responsible for delivering electricity from transmission networks to individual consumers. These networks are typically characterized by lower voltage levels compared to the high-voltage transmission lines. They consist of a complex arrangement of substations, distribution lines (overhead and underground), transformers, and protective devices. The primary function of a jaotuvvõrk is to step down the voltage from transmission levels to safe and usable voltages for homes, businesses, and industries.

The design and operation of a jaotuvvõrk are crucial for reliable power supply. They must be capable of handling fluctuations in demand and ensuring power quality. Factors such as network topology, load balancing, and fault management are key considerations. Modern jaotuvvõrgud are increasingly incorporating smart grid technologies, allowing for remote monitoring, automated control, and better integration of distributed energy resources like solar panels and wind turbines. These advancements aim to improve efficiency, resilience, and the ability to respond to changing energy landscapes. The ongoing evolution of jaotuvvõrk is driven by the need to meet growing energy demands while also addressing environmental concerns and fostering a more sustainable energy future.
