About the Book: Electricity Transmission, Distribution and Storage Systems
Growing populations and industrializing countries create huge needs for
electrical energy. Unfortunately, electricity is not always used in the same
place that it is produced, meaning long-distance transmission lines and
distribution systems are necessary. But transmitting electricity over distance
and via networks involves energy loss. Distribution systems serve as the link
from the distribution substation to the customer. This system provides the safe
and reliable transfer of electric energy to various customers throughout the
service territory.
Electric energy storage is poised to become an important element of the
electricity infrastructure of the future. Proven storage technologies are
