Part of the book series: Power Systems ((POWSYS))

Abstract

Today’s grids are primarily based on large power stations connected to transmission lines which supply power to distribution systems thus the overall image is still the same: one way power flow from the power stations, via the transmission and distribution systems, to the final customer (end-user).
