Detailed Description

The electricity grid encompasses generation stations, transmission lines, substations, and distribution lines. It converts energy produced by power plants into electricity that can be delivered across great distances. The grid operates on various voltages to facilitate efficient transport and consumption, and includes both high-voltage transmission lines that transport electricity over long distances and low-voltage distribution lines that deliver electricity to homes and businesses.
