How Does the Power Grid Work?
The modern world depends on electricity. It’s a crucial resource, especially in urban areas, but electricity can’t be created, stored, and provided at a later time. The instant it’s produced, it’s used no matter how far apart the producer is from the user. And the infrastructure that makes all this possible is one of humanity’s most important and fascinating engineering achievements: the power grid.

Electrical Grid 101 : All you need to know ! (With Quiz)
An electrical grid is an interconnected network for delivering electricity from producers to consumers for example to run your electric griddle and other home appliances. It consists of generating stations that produce electrical power, high voltage transmission lines that carry power from distant sources to demand centers, and distribution lines that connect individual customers
Power stations may be located near a fuel source, at a dam site, or to take advantage of renewable energy sources, and are often located away from heavily populated areas. They are usually quite large to take advantage of economies of scale. The electric power which is generated is stepped up to a higher voltage at which it connects to the electric power transmission network.
The bulk power transmission network...

Renewable energy: What’s going on with the electrical grid? | Dr. Rob Maher | TEDxBozeman
Dr. Rob Maher, professor of engineering, explains that the Electric Grid functions only when energy production exactly matches energy consumption in that moment. The problem with renewable energy (photovoltaic, wind, hydroelectric, etc.) is that we do not currently have an efficient way to store that energy. Professor Rob Maher joined the MSU Electrical and Computer Engineering Department in 2002. A steadfast educator, inventor, and licensed Professional Engineer, his passions include audio engineering, audio forensics, and music. He has been a leader in the audio industry for many years as an entrepreneur, consultant, and a VP of engineering.

How to fix our unreliable power grid
Our electrical grid can be taken down by storms, fires, and squirrels. But there’s a better way to power the world.
A microgrid is a decentralized power system that doesn’t have a single point of failure. That means one squirrel can’t cause a massive blackout, and it also protects against the increasing number of severe weather events, storms, and wildfires.
Read more on the power of microgrids in David Roberts’ and Alvin Chang’s explainer on the topic: https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/12/15/16714146/greener-more-reliable-more-resilient-grid-microgrids

Explaining how the national grid works
In the UK there are over 4,474 miles of overhead electricity lines providing power to Britain's homes. Using a model I demonstrate how the National grid works.
National Grid Web site https://www.nationalgridet.com/
The Power station generates AC electricity. If this low voltage is put over the grid much of the energy is lost, but if the electricity is converted by a step-up transformer then sent across the grid and then put into a step-down transformer then little electricity is wasted.
This is based on a kit by Irwin Science Education
https://www.irwinscienceeducation.com/search/products?keywords=national+grid
And using Hornby Pylons to improve the look.
We purchased this product and use it in our teaching.

An electrical grid is an interconnected network for delivering electricity from producers to consumers for example to run your electric griddle and other home appliances. It consists of generating stations that produce electrical power, high voltage transmission lines that carry power from distant sources to demand centers, and distribution lines that connect individual customers
Power stations may be located near a fuel source, at a dam site, or to take advantage of renewable energy sources, and are often located away from heavily populated areas. They are usually quite large to take advantage of economies of scale. The electric power which is generated is stepped up to a higher voltage at which it connects to the electric power transmission network.
The bulk power transmission network will move the power long distances, sometimes across international boundaries, until it reaches its wholesale customer (usually the company that owns the local electric power distribution network).
On arrival at a substation, the power will be stepped down from a transmission level voltage to a distribution level voltage. As it exits the substation, it enters the distribution wiring. Finally, upon arrival at the service location, the power is stepped down again from the distribution voltage to the required service voltage(s).

▶️How Electrical Grids Work
Electrical power is predominantly generated in power stations although smaller generation sites now exist (solar panel installations etc.). More than 95% of the world’s electrical power is generated from turbines. Turbines act as prime movers and cause rotors within generators to rotate.
Once electrical power has been generated, it is distributed through a series of conductors (think of copper or aluminium cables) to an electrical transformer.
Electrical transformers increase voltage and consequently reduce the current (Ohms law), but the power remains roughly the same. It is necessary to increase the voltage to reduce power losses (P=I^2R), but it also allows for the use of smaller conductors to be used. Transformers that increase voltage are referred to as ‘step-up’ transformers.
Conductors then feed from the transformer to a series of transmission towers (electrical pylons). Power reaches the area where it will be consumed and is reduced in voltage by a step-down transformer (voltage reducing transformer).
The equipment necessary to increase and reduce voltage (transformers, breakers, surge arresters etc.) are housed within structures known as ‘substations’ (normally open air switchyards).
It may be necessary to reduce the voltage several times until it reaches a level that is suitable for consumers (10 kV, 6 kV, 3 kV, 380 V etc.). The voltage required by consumers depends upon how the electrical power is utilised. Industrial plants require 3 phase medium voltage power whilst residential areas require single phase (1 phase) 220 V or 110 V. The power grid is split into generation, transmission and distribution sections.

This February of 2021, a major winter storm made its way through the U.S. central plains, setting all-time records for low temperatures across the country. One of the biggest impacts of the storm happened here in Texas where people across the state suffered extended outages of electricity and water. It was one of the worst winter weather events in history, creating loss-of-life and economic impacts that will take years to unfold. Many are still recovering from the storm and will be for years to come.

Our electrical grid can be taken down by storms, fires, and squirrels. But there’s a better way to power the world.
A microgrid is a decentralized power system that doesn’t have a single point of failure. That means one squirrel can’t cause a massive blackout, and it also protects against the increasing number of severe weather events, storms, and wildfires.
Read more on the power of microgrids in David Roberts’ and Alvin Chang’s explainer on the topic: https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/12/15/16714146/greener-more-reliable-more-resilient-grid-microgrids

Explaining how the national grid works

In the UK there are over 4,474 miles of overhead electricity lines providing power to Britain's homes. Using a model I demonstrate how the National grid works.
National Grid Web site https://www.nationalgridet.com/
The Power station generates AC electricity. If this low voltage is put over the grid much of the energy is lost, but if the electricity is converted by a step-up transformer then sent across the grid and then put into a step-down transformer then little electricity is wasted.
This is based on a kit by Irwin Science Education

And using Hornby Pylons to improve the look.
We purchased this product and use it in our teaching.
