Electricity is produced at the power station.

In some power stations, heat is produced by burning rubbish or the methane gas produced by the decomposition of waste in tips. Others use “biofuels”: waste.

When an electric current flows in a metallic conductor, the flow of particles is in one direction only, because the current is carried entirely by electrons.

Electric Power Distribution

When we generate power we ramp up the voltage for transmission (up to V) and then when it arrives at homes we ramp it back down for convenient use.

Book Reference : Pages To understand how electricity is distributed in the UK via the National Grid 2.To understand how transformers are used to minimise energy losses due to heat during electricity distribution

The UK network of cables (underground and on pylons), transformers and power stations is known as the National Grid. Power stations produce electricity at 25 kV and at 50Hz

Each power station may well produce in the order of MW of electrical power When high currents flow through wires, there is a heating effect (I 2 R). To achieve a given power distribution, there is a choice of voltage and current (P=VI). To reduce the energy lost due to heating, the electricity is distributed at a higher voltage and lower current

In particular step up transformers are used between the power station and the grid to achieve a transmission voltage of kV

Power Station : 25kV National grid : kV Industry 11-33kV (Three phase) Homes 230V (Single Phase)

Power = Current x Voltage (P=VI) Voltage = Current x Resistance (V=IR) Power lost in the cable due to heating = P = I 2 R If a transmission line has a resistance of 500  and carries 1MW of power at 25kV. Then the current will be 40A and the power loss 0.8MW However at 400kV the current reduces to 2.5A and the energy loss reduces to 3.1kW

A transformer has a primary coil with 120 turns & a secondary with 2400 turns. Calculate the required primary voltage to achieve a secondary voltage of 230V [11.5V] A 230V 60W lamp is connected to the secondary coil. Calculate the current through 1.The secondary coil [0.26A] 2.The Primary coil [5.2A]

Explain why the transmission of electrical power over long distances is more efficient at higher rather than lower voltages A power cable has a resistance of 200  is used to deliver 2.0MW of power at 120kV. Calculate : 1.The current through the cable [16.7A] 2.The power wasted in the cable [56kW]
