The electric transmission grid represents a network that serves to the transmission and the interregional exchange of electric energy.

Within the transmission network is made an energy balance that takes into account the network losses.

System losses are:

• Power losses (ΔP) represent the consumption of electric power necessary for the transmission of electricity and for the distribution process;

• Energy losses (ΔW) represent the consumption of electric energy necessary for the transmission of electricity and for the distribution process;

Electrical power Transmission Line

Flip on the lights, and you’re completing a circuit that connects your light bulb to the wires that serve your house, to the larger wires that serve your neighborhood and, ultimately, to a network of high capacity wires that deliver power over great distances. This network the power transmission system is complex, costly and critical to the nation’s economy and way of life. Many of those who influence the electric industry, however, lack a good understanding of the transmission system.
