What is the National Grid?
A National Grid is a power or energy supply system for a nation. They are called this because the network of supply lines from various generating or storage sources forms a grid in a mathematical sense, as there is usually more than one supply line to most points (or grid nodes). This allows some redundancy in the system, to allow continuous supply despite temporary breakdowns on some parts of the grid. National grids do not necessarily cover the entire country, especially in poorer or less populated areas. The United Kingdom has a grid for the supply of gas and a grid for the supply of electricity. The United States has three separate electricity grids, however they are not interconnected. Australia has a National Electricity Market (NEM) based on a transmission grid connecting the eastern states of Queensland, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia, however the distance to Western Australia means that it operates its own South West Interconnected System (SWIS).
Why the ac supply is used in India not dc supply?
AC is pretty much the standard anywhere, not just in India. For distribution of electric power, AC has a clear advantage over DC in that it can easily be transformed to higher or lower voltages, and can be generated easily (since most generators lend themselves more directly to the generation of AC).In electricity distribution, DC plays a growing role in the past few decades because electronic circuitry can now support high-energy DC systems. These are sometimes used for very long haul electricity distribution (famously in South Africa and Russia); their advantage is that DC makes better use of the cable diameter (no skin effect).
