áramhálózat

Áramhálózat, or electrical grid, is a network of electrical power lines, transformers, and other infrastructure that delivers electricity from power plants to consumers. It consists of three main components: generation, transmission, and distribution. Generation involves producing electricity from various sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, solar, and wind. Transmission involves transporting electricity over long distances using high-voltage power lines. Distribution involves delivering electricity to consumers through lower-voltage power lines. The grid operates on alternating current (AC) at a frequency of 50 or 60 Hertz, depending on the region. It is designed to be reliable, efficient, and resilient, capable of withstanding faults and maintaining power supply even during extreme weather conditions. The grid is a critical infrastructure that supports modern society, enabling the operation of essential services such as lighting, heating, cooling, and communication. However, it is also vulnerable to cyber threats, natural disasters, and human errors, which can lead to power outages and disruptions. Therefore, ongoing efforts are being made to modernize and strengthen the grid to meet the growing demand for electricity and ensure its long-term sustainability.
