Produktbeschreibung

The National Grid is the high-voltage electric power transmission network in Great Britain, connecting power stations and major substations and has a synchronized organization such that electricity generated anywhere in Great Britain can be used to satisfy demand elsewhere. There are also undersea connections to northern France (HVDC Cross-Channel), Northern Ireland (HVDC Moyle), and the Isle of Man (Isle of Man to England Interconnector). The national grid of the United Kingdom is required to provide electric power and to be able to match the supply of power to the demand which is continuously varying, sometimes gradually and sometimes quite sharply. It has to do this and to maintain stability within specified standards of frequency and voltage dealing with both sudden changes in load, and sudden changes in the available power output. Although such large grid interconnections have their own special historical and geographical peculiarities, they will all tend to use methods of control and stabilisation similar to those used by the UK National Grid, to a greater or lesser extent.
