How Power Grids Succeed in the Distributin of Electricity

Yesterday's large power failure illustrated a serious drawback inherent in the standard electricity distribution method. You see, power travels from the facility plant to your house through an incredible process known as the ability distribution grid. We can observe each of the tools that brings electrical power to your home. Things like the power plant, to substations, to home outlets. The nation's electric distribution systems deliver power along scores of miles of lines to neighborhoods, businesses, and consumers. When electricity is generated and transmitted, step-down transformers located in distribution substations reduce the voltage thus it can be used to travel longer distances.
