How Electricity Flows
The electricity that flows to our homes is generated in power stations. It flows through large transmission lines that transmit electricity from generating power plants to various substations. Transmission voltages in the Phil grid range from 115kV to 500kV.Finally, distribution lines carry electricity from substations to different types of consumers (houses, businesses, and schools).
System Loss Factors
The amount of power lost depends on: the distance of the generator from customers – more power is lost the further it travels. the voltage and resistance of the transmission lines – the “quality” of the line. how much power is flowing through the line – a more heavily loaded line means more heat and […]
