Module 1 : Introduction
Lecture 1 : Modern Power Systems
 
   Recap
   In this lecture you have learnt the following
Power systems have evolved from being DC systems to highly interconnected three phase AC systems


Bulk power systems consist of a backbone of a extra high voltage transmission grid with generators pooling their generation into it. The pooled power is withdrawn by loads at lower voltage levels.

AC interconnected power systems have an important property: frequency all over the grid is the same in steady state.
