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. Distributed generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_generation

   Distributed energy resource ( DER) systems are small-scale power generation or storage technologies (typically in the range of 1 kW to 10,000 kW) [18] used to provide an alternative to or an enhancement of the traditional electric power system. DER systems typically are characterized by high initial capital costs per kilowatt. [19]

4. Smart grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_grid

   The smart grid is an enhancement of the 20th century electrical grid, using two-way communications and distributed so-called intelligent devices. [1] Two-way flows of electricity and information could improve the delivery network. Research is mainly focused on three systems of a smart grid – the infrastructure system, the management system ...

5. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

   The system proved the feasibility of AC electric power transmission over long distances. The first commercial AC distribution system entered service in 1885 in via dei Cerchi, Rome, Italy, for public lighting. It was powered by two Siemens & Halske alternators rated 30 hp (22 kW), 2 kV at 120 Hz and used 19 km of cables and 200 parallel ...

6. Distribution management system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_management_system

   A distribution management system ( DMS) is a collection of applications designed to monitor and control the electric power distribution networks efficiently and reliably. It acts as a decision support system to assist the control room and field operating personnel with the monitoring and control of the electric distribution system.

7. 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.
