Power Systems:
1. **What is a Power System?**
- A power system is a network that generates, transmits, and distributes
electrical energy.
- It ensures electricity reaches from power plants to homes, offices, and
factories.
2. **Main Components of a Power System:**
- **Generation:** Electricity is produced using sources like coal, natural
gas, solar, wind, or hydro.
- **Transmission:** High-voltage power lines carry electricity over long
distances.
- **Distribution:** Transformers and low-voltage lines deliver electricity to
consumers.
- **Load:** The end-users like homes, industries, and businesses that
consume electricity.
3. **Types of Power Generation:**
- **Thermal Power:** Uses coal, gas, or oil to produce steam and generate
electricity.
- **Renewable Energy:** Solar, wind, and hydroelectric power are eco-
friendly sources.
- **Nuclear Power:** Uses nuclear reactions to generate heat and
electricity.
4. **Transmission and Distribution:**
- **Transmission Lines:** Carry electricity at high voltages to reduce energy
loss.
