Power transformation and transmission

Power transmission involves transporting electrical energy from power plants to substations and then to consumers. This process uses various components and systems to ensure the efficient and reliable delivery of electricity. Typically, power exits the grid at a low voltage, but if it needs to travel more than approximately 30 meters, it must be transformed to medium voltage for effective transmission.

A typical power transmission and transformation installation includes:
 

• Power transformer at the grid: This transformer steps up the voltage from low to medium voltage for efficient transmission over long distances.
  
  
• Power transformer at the point of Usage: At the point of usage, another transformer steps the voltage back down to low voltage, suitable for powering electric-driven equipment.
  
  
• Equipment and cables: Proper selection of equipment and cables is crucial to ensure an efficient process without additional losses while maintain electrical safety.

Voltage transformation is important because it allows for efficient transmission of electricity over long distances. Medium or high voltage is used for transmission to reduce losses, and it is stepped down to a lower voltage closer to the point of usage.

• Extend the reach of the grid: power transformation solutions can still enable you to power electric driven equipment, even when the grid is far away from the grid connection point.
  
  
• Lower CO2 emissions: using the grid minimizes reliance on diesel driven generators to deliver the power at point of usage, thereby, lowering CO2 emissions.
  
  
• Always on solution: connecting to the grid is a reliable solution that eliminates the need of servicing or refueling diesel driven generators.
