middenspanningsnet
Middenspanningsnet, often abbreviated MV-net, is the portion of an electric power distribution network that operates at medium voltage. It typically covers voltages from about 1 kV up to 35 kV and serves to transport electricity from substations fed by the high-voltage transmission grid to the low-voltage networks that deliver power to homes and businesses. The MV-net forms the regional backbone of the distribution system, connecting generation sources, feed-in points, and distribution substations.
The network consists of a mix of overhead lines and underground cables, substations, transformers, switchgear and
Operators of MV networks are usually distribution system operators. They plan, build and maintain the network,
Key challenges include aging infrastructure, capacity limitations in dense urban areas, the integration of decentralised generation,
