The delivery of electricity from a power station by way of high-voltage transmission lines, usually mounted on large wooden poles or steel towers, out to communities where it is used by homes, businesses, and factories.
TRANSMISSION is the transport of electricity at high voltages across long distances. The transmission system carries power from generating stations to various substations where it is transferred to a distribution system.
Sending information (carried by electrical signals) over a path to a destination.
In the power industry, transmission means the process of the supply of electricity at one or several points of supply and a corresponding withdrawal of electricity at one or several points of withdrawal at the same time.
a speed and power changing device
Mechanical or hydraulic system which transfers engine power into movement.
The process of carrying large amounts of electricity from power plants to local distribution lines over high-voltage wires.
An interconnected group of lines and equipment for transporting electric energy in bulk on a high voltage power line from a source or sources of power supply (e.g. power plant) to a point of use within a utility system or to a point of interconnection with another utility system or power grid.
In electric power systems, used to describe the highest voltages, used for transmitting power long distances
the large-scale interconnection, transformation and transmission of electricity to urban distribution centres, through the electricity grid at voltages from 115,000 V to 800,000 V.
The flow of electricity over interconnected electric lines from a generation facility to local distribution lines
Moving electricity in large volumes (i.e. at high voltage) from one place to another. Strictly speaking, in an interconnected system, it is physically impossible to trace the particular electrons along the transmission wires from a generator to the ultimate user; the "contract path" is the most direct path along the wires between a seller and a buyer, but it will not correspond to the physical path of the electrons.
Lines or pipes that carry energy from it's source to the local distribution system.
Interconnecting electric lines which move high voltage electricity from a generation facility to the distribution lines of an electric distribution company.
system An interconnected group of electric transmission lines and associated equipment for moving or transferring electric energy in bulk between points of supply and points at which it is transformed for delivery over the distribution system lines to consumers or is delivered to other electric systems.
The network of high voltage lines, transformers and switches used to move electrical power from generators to the distribution system. Also utilized to interconnect different utility systems and independent power producers together into a synchronized network. Transmission is considered to end when the energy is transformed for distribution to the consumer.
The transfer of electric current from a power plant to a destination that could be hundreds of miles away.
The bulk transport of high-voltage power, typically over longer distances, between generating plants and distribution systems.
The process of delivering electricity from generation plants to consumers' premises over the transmission system.
The process of transporting electricity on high voltage lines from the generator to the distribution system. Transmission can be over long distances, and power can be transmitted over power lines owned by more than one entity. ( Back)
The delivery of high-voltage bulk electricity from a generating facility through transmission lines to utility distribution facilities, where the voltage is reduced for customer use.
The transportation of electricity over high-voltage power lines. The definition of high-voltage varies from one utility to another. PG&E defines all power lines and substations that operate at 50,000 volts (50 kV) or higher as transmission lines. At Alameda Power & Telecom and in Southern California, only power lines and substations that operate at more than 150,000 volts (150 kV) are part of the transmission system. Power lines and substations that operate at lower voltages than transmission are part of electric distribution.
The transportation of electricity or natural gas from a generation plant or pipeline to another facility. Or, the transfer of energy between utility systems.
Interconnecting electric lines that move high voltage electricity from where it is produced to the point of distribution to customers.
The delivery of large amounts of electricity from regional power plants to local areas. The transmission system is connected to local distribution systems by substations that step down high-voltage transmission power for local distribution.
The movement or transfer of high-voltage electricity or natural gas over an interconnected group of lines or pipes and associated equipment between points of supply (generating facilities) and points at which it is transformed for delivery to consumers, or is delivered to other systems. Electric transmission is considered to end when the energy is transformed for distribution to the consumer.
The process of transporting electricity from a generation company to an electric company over high-voltage power lines.
The process of long-distance transport of electrical energy, generally accomplished by raising the electric current to high voltages.
The network of high-voltage lines that move electricity from a power plant to the point (substation) where it is distributed to homeowners, businesses and industries.
The process of transporting electric energy in bulk on high voltage lines from the generating facility to the local distribution company for delivery to retail customers.
An interconnected group of lines and associated equipment for the movement or transfer of electric energy between points of supply and points at which it is transformed for delivery to customers or is delivered to other electric systems.
Moving bulk energy products from where they are produced or generated to distribution lines that carry the energy products to consumers.
The transfer of electricity at high voltage from the power stations across the UK through wires on pylons to points where it can be distributed to users. This is known as the Grid System and is owned and operated by the National Grid Company (NGC).
The transfer of electric energy from one location to another through conductors or by radiation or induction fields.
The process of moving electric power at high voltages from the generation facility to local communities
Transporting bulk power over long distances.
The system that transfers the motors power to the drive train.
electric lines which move high voltage electricity from its production site to the point of distribution to customers.
The delivery of large amounts of electricity (often over very long distances) from power plants to substations over high-voltage wires.
The movement or transfer of electricity from one point to another in a power system. Also used to refer to the movement of natural gas through a trunk pipeline system.
The transmission system carries electric power at very high voltages, generally between 60,000 and 500,000 volts. It provides bulk transportation of electricity over long distances, usually from generating sources to substations for voltage reduction.
The system of lines that carries electricity from generators to distribution companies.
The act or process of transporting electric energy in bulk.
