| electrical grid | электросеть (An electrical grid is an interconnected network for delivering electricity from suppliers to consumers. It consists of three main components: 1) power stations that produce electricity from combustible fuels (coal, natural gas, biomass) or non-combustible fuels (wind, solar, nuclear, hydro power); 2) transmission lines that carry electricity from power plants to demand centers; and 3) transformers that reduce voltage so distribution lines carry power for final delivery.[1] In the power industry, electrical grid is a term used for an electricity network which includes the following three distinct operations: 1) Electricity generation; 2) Electric power transmission; 3) Electricity distribution.
