2. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

   Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity. Electricity is carried from the transmission system to individual consumers. Distribution substations connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage ranging between 2 kV and 33 kV with the use of transformers. [1]

3. Electrical grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

   An electrical grid (or electricity network) is an interconnected network for electricity delivery from producers to consumers. Electrical grids consist of power stations, electrical substations to step voltage up or down, electric power transmission to carry power over long distances, and finally electric power distribution to customers.

4. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

   The combined transmission and distribution network is part of electricity delivery, known as the electrical grid. Efficient long-distance transmission of electric power requires high voltages. This reduces the losses produced by strong currents. Transmission lines use either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).

5. History of electric power transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_electric_power...

   History of electric power transmission. Electric power transmission, the tools and means of moving electricity far from where it is generated, date back to the late 19th century. They include the movement of electricity in bulk (formally called "transmission") and the delivery of electricity to individual customers ("distribution").

6. North American power transmission grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_power...

   The electric power transmission grid of the contiguous United States consists of 120,000 miles (190,000 km) of lines operated by 500 companies. The electrical power grid that powers Northern America is not a single grid, but is instead divided into multiple wide area synchronous grids. [1] The Eastern Interconnection and the Western ...

7. Distribution network operator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_network_operator

   Distribution network operator. A distribution network operator (DNO), also known as a distribution system operator (DSO), is the operator of the electric power distribution system which delivers electricity to most end users. Each country may have many local distribution network operators, which are separate from the transmission system ...
