Basic components of the Electric Grid
Power Plant- Electricity generationTransmission- Transmit electricity to different areasDistribution- Distribution to different loadsLoads- Industries, Residences, etc.
Electric Grid▫Converts different forms of energy to electricity
(generation) Forms of energy conversion (??)
▫Transmits electric energy from one place to another (transmission) (how??) Challenges(??)
a)Less losses b)Long distances c) No wire cut offs▫Distribute to residential and industrial loads
(Distribution) Challenges(??)

• What are renewable and non-renewable sources of energy?
Sources of Energy
U. S. Energy Consumption by Source, 2010
Transmission and DistributionTransformer:
Transmission:Step up voltage to kVDistribution:Step-down voltage to
120 VLines

A collaboration between universities, industry and national labs.
Center for Ultra wide Resilient Electric Energy Transmission Networks.Ultra wide ????A nation-wide or continent-wide transmission grid.Resilient???? Able to withstand and overcome overload or
stressful/disturbed conditions How??? Develop a system that is fully monitored
and dynamically controlled in real-time.Why?? high efficiency, high reliability, low cost.
Electric Energy - renewable energy sources, energy storageTransmission Network
CURENTWhat we do not do▫Generate, transmit or distribute energy
That is what electric grid does!!
What we do Monitor grid data, Analyse the various disturbances/overloads Develop control methods to improve and make
the transmission grid resilient
