AC Power Flow

AC power flow refers to the process of transmitting alternating current (AC) electrical energy through a power grid from generators to consumers. It involves understanding how voltage, current, and power move through complex network pathways, balancing supply and demand. Engineers analyze these flows to ensure the system operates efficiently, reliably, and within safety limits. Key variables include voltage levels, phase angles, and power quantities. By modeling AC power flow, utilities can optimize energy distribution, detect issues, and plan expansions, maintaining a stable and stable electricity supply for homes and industries.
