Electric Power Transmission




Electric-power transmission is the bulk transfer of electrical energy, from generating power plants to electrical substations located near demand centers.
Electricity is transmitted at high voltages (110 kV or above) to reduce the energy lost in long-distance transmission. Power is usually transmitted through overhead power lines. Underground power transmission has a significantly higher cost and greater operational limitations but is sometimes used in urban areas or sensitive locations.
