How is voltage loss overcome between the power station and consumer?

because the voltage decreases through the wind, and doesnt allow it to get through to the consumer

Nothing to do with the wind - apart from physical damage of course!
The losses in the line are due to low but definite electrical resistance within the cable, and inductive losses within the Transformers. So the main transmission lines work at very high voltages to reduce the current hence resistance loss, and the voltage is transformed down to industrial and domestic levels close to users.

Is it okay to use thicker cable to avoid voltage drop?
It is mandatory to use a larger wire size to overcome voltage drop at the load.
What would be the effect on the voltage level at the load if the distance between the electrical supply point and the load appliance is increased?
As the resistance in the wire increases due to the longer length the voltage drop across the wire resistance increases. This leaves less voltage across the load. To overcome this voltage drop usually a larger size wire which has less resistance is used. A safe nominal figure for voltage drop is to keep it at 3% of the line voltage.
In a power station where dc is actually converted to ac while distribution?
The generated voltage in a power station is AC voltage, not DC. So, it is never converted to AC, because it is already AC.
Definition of cut in voltage of diode in electronics?
zener cut in voltage
What is relation between voltage and conductors?
Your question is unclear. But, if you are asking what the relationship between voltage and the distance between conductors is, then the higher the voltage, the greater the distance must be.
How electrical power is transmitted from power plan to the consumer?
electrical power from the power plant to consumer goes through the transmission & distribution system, first we transmit the high voltage power from the power plant to sub station in sub station we step down the voltage according to need & distribute it to the demand.
When was Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage created?
Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage was created in 2009.
Explain the transmission and distribution of electricity from the generation station to the consumer?
transmission and distribution of electricity are the way of regulate voltage to the minimum rate in which can be benefit to the consumers. From generating station , voltage generated is up 16/25kv which step up upto 330kv this generating voltage now step down in the transmission station through the step down transformer which is 132kv this voltage now transmitting to distribution station where voltage now step down to 33kv, this 33kv now stepdown to 415v for three line and 240/220v for a line for the uses of consumers.
What is the voltage used for an iPod dock station?
The voltage use in an iPod dick station is between 5v and 12v. This is a normal voltage use for a small appliance. Saving energy is always important so all plugs should be unplugged when not in use.
What is a definition of grid station?
it is a station which reduces high voltage to low voltage and increases current.
What is The difference between the voltage going into and coming out of a Town is always how many volts?
A: The difference is none it is called transmission of power. the voltage is very hi 475 kv fed into a sub station Locally at the street level it is reduced to a lower voltage level and that is called distribution from a sub station that has transformers to do that.
Why consumer wants connect to high voltage?
that main resign is high voltage is voltage value is high that same time current value is very low. easy to transmission to long distance consumer(HT required consumer) end we have not voltage loss and current also and conductor cost is reduced that is conductor thickness low ,so current level is low
What are grid station?
Grid stations are the station which reduce the High Voltage to Low Voltage and increase the Current, the Current is Low and Voltage is High at the Generation Plant to reduce the energy losses during transmission of Electricity.
Is it okay to use thicker cable to avoid voltage drop?
It is mandatory to use a larger wire size to overcome voltage drop at the load.

What is the difference between a substation and grids tation?
SUB STATION An intermediate electricity-distributing location from which electrical energy is transformed and transmitted to users within a given geographical area. GRID STATION It is a station where multiple inputs/outputs comes and goes , where the voltage is transformed as it is required.
In a power station where dc is actually converted to ac while distribution?
The generated voltage in a power station is AC voltage, not DC. So, it is never converted to AC, because it is already AC.
