Power Distribution

Power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity from power plants to end-users. Once electricity has been transmitted over long distances through high-voltage transmission lines, it reaches substations where the voltage is reduced to levels suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial use.

From these substations, electricity is distributed through a network of lower-voltage distribution lines. This network includes transformers, circuit breakers, and other equipment to ensure safe and reliable delivery. Power distribution systems are designed to handle varying demand, address faults, and maintain stability in the grid.

Innovations like smart grids and automated distribution systems help optimize performance, minimize outages, and integrate renewable energy sources. Effective power distribution is essential for ensuring consistent, efficient, and safe electricity supply, playing a crucial role in supporting daily activities and powering modern infrastructure.
