Electrical power systems

Electrical power systems are networks that generate, transmit, and distribute electricity to homes, businesses, and industries. They start at power plants that produce electricity using various sources like coal, natural gas, nuclear, or renewables such as wind and solar. The electricity then travels through high-voltage transmission lines to substations, where voltage is lowered for safe distribution. Finally, it flows through local distribution lines to end-users, powering lights, appliances, and machinery. The system includes protective devices and controls to ensure reliable, safe, and efficient delivery of electricity, adapting to fluctuating demand and preventing outages.
