History of the electrical grid: A global perspective
Introduction to the electrical grid
The intricate network of power lines and substations that deliver electricity to our homes, industries, and cities is a marvel of modern engineering. This complex system, known as the electrical grid, has a long and fascinating history. Looking back at the origins and evolution of the electrical grid is crucial for an understanding of how the energy transition is driving the need for a more robust and intelligent power grid. High-voltage systems are the backbone of modern power grids, and as the energy transition progresses, these systems will play a critical role in integrating renewable energy sources.
