What is a power system?

Asked a year ago
A power system refers to a network of interconnected components that generate, transmit, and distribute electrical energy to meet the demand of consumers. It comprises power generating stations, transformers, transmission lines, distribution networks, and various equipment. A power system transforms various sources of energy, such as fossil fuels, nuclear, hydro, or renewable sources, into electricity. Power generating stations generate electricity, which is then stepped up through transformers for efficient transmission. Transmission lines transport high voltage electricity over long distances to substations, where it is stepped down and distributed through local distribution networks to homes, businesses, and industries. Power systems are essential for delivering reliable, safe, and affordable electrical energy to power our daily lives, enabling the functioning of appliances, lighting, heating, and industrial processes.
