Electric power transmission

Traditionally, transmission and distribution lines were owned by the identical company, but over the past decade or so several countries have introduced and promoted reforms to separate the two entities. One must take note of the voltage of incoming electricity, allowing it to connect from long distance high voltage transmission, to local lower voltage distribution when really trying to understand this topic. The transmission and distribution losses in the USA were estimated at 7% in 1995 due to electrical transmission power losses. Normally, losses are estimated from the discrepancy between energy lost during transport of the electricity in high power lines.

Transmission and Distribution of Energy from T&D World Magazine

Transmission and distribution of energy in the world as expressed by the T&D World Magazine. The T&D World magazine is for engineers and operations professionals in the electric power transmission and distribution industry. An example of such a company is Puget Sound Energy. Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has completed construction of a new $3.8 million electrical distribution substation in Lynden, Washington. And to find out more about this industry you need to attend the 2010 IEEE PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition. This is the ultimate world class event for transmission and distribution professionals.
