Abstract
The transmission and distribution network performs three main functions:
-
a)
The transmission of electric power from generating stations (or other networks) to load centers
-
b)
The interconnection function, which improves security of supply and allows a reduction in generation costs
-
c)
The supply function, which consists of supplying the electric power to subtransmission or distribution transformers and in some cases to customers directly, connected to the transmission and distribution network
