Power transmission is a key component of the electric power system.

It is the process of transferring


electrical energy from the power generation facilities to the consumers. Power transmission is typically
done using high voltage transmission lines that are supported by transmission towers or poles.

The transmission lines are usually made of conductors such as aluminum or copper and insulated to
prevent electrical losses. The distance between the transmission towers is determined by the voltage
level and the electrical load on the transmission lines.

Power transmission is an essential part of the electric power system, as it enables the transfer of
electricity from large power generation facilities to the consumers located far away. Power transmission
is also essential for the operation of interconnected power systems that share electricity across regions
and countries.

The transmission system is designed to be resilient and reliable, with redundant transmission lines and
substations to ensure that the power supply is not disrupted in case of any failure. The transmission
system is also constantly monitored and controlled to maintain the voltage and frequency of the
electricity within the specified limits. Overall, power transmission plays a critical role in providing reliable
and affordable electricity to consumers.
