Generally in Electrical Engineering, "GRID" means network of power circuits spread acroos a large area. Involves huge lengths of transmission and distribution lines, generating stations, receving stations across the area. Such grids facilitate the proper power flow between generating station and the end user sub stations.

Imagine a many different types of generating stations, located gew hundred KM away in all directionsin a country, connected through network of power cables and Transformers.

Why does a smart grid help in the everyday life of people?

A smart grid is an electrical device that uses technology to gain information about the electrical usage patterns of consumers. Essentially, it enables the grid to distribute the available electricity to people when they need it.

What is grid resistance?

Grid resistance refers to the opposition that electrical components and systems encounter when connected to an electrical grid. It can affect the flow of electricity, impacting voltage levels and overall system stability. High grid resistance can lead to energy losses and reduced efficiency in power delivery. Understanding grid resistance is essential for optimizing the performance of electrical networks and ensuring reliable electricity supply.

What is the difference between a transmission grid and an electricity grid?

The terms transmission grid and electrical grid are somewhat interchangeable. The electrical grid, or power grid, is the network used to get electric power from where it is generated to all the places that use it. The one difference might be that a transmission line or grid might be thought of as the network of high voltage long distance lines. These are used to move large amounts of power with minimal loss through the use of extremely high voltages. These long distance lines connect generation facilities with substations, and it is at the substation that the voltages are stepped down, and that power is then put on the electrical grid.


How does national grid transform energy to electrical energy?

I don't think it does. The purpose of a national grid is to transfer the electrical energy from one place to another, not to generate it. Any power station that generates electricity would not be considered part of a national grid.

Why do electrical appliances need to be plugged into the wall?

Because the power needed to make them work is delivered by a national 'grid' of electrical cables. There is no way to actually transmit power to an appliance through the air. It must be deilvered by cables.
