transmission capacity
Transmission capacity refers to the maximum amount of electrical power that can be safely and reliably transmitted through a power line or network at a given time. It depends on factors like the line’s physical design, voltage levels, and safety standards. Higher transmission capacity allows more electricity to flow from power plants to homes and businesses, ensuring a stable supply. Proper management of this capacity helps prevent overloads, power outages, and maintains the efficiency of the energy delivery system. Essentially, it's about how much electricity the transmission infrastructure can handle safely and effectively.
