Power Transmission and Distribution (T&D) refers to the process of delivering electrical power from power generation sources such as power plants, wind farms, or solar farms to the consumers via an interconnected network of transmission lines, transformers, and distribution lines.
The main objective of power T&D is to ensure that electricity is delivered to end-users in a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective manner. Transmission lines transport high-voltage power over long distances, while distribution lines carry lower-voltage power to homes, businesses, and other end-users.
Power T&D also involves the use of various equipment, such as transformers, switchgear, and protection devices, to ensure the safety and reliability of the power grid. Power T&D networks are typically managed and operated by electric utilities, which ensure that the network is maintained, upgraded, and operated safely and efficiently.
