Detailed Introduction
Electricity is an energy source that uses electrical power as its driving force. Discovered in the 1870s, the discovery and application of electricity sparked a wave of industrialization, making it one of the three major technological revolutions the world has experienced since the 18th century. Since then, technology has profoundly transformed human life. The large-scale electric power systems that emerged in the 20th century represent one of the most significant achievements in the history of engineering; they constitute a comprehensive system for generating, transmitting, transforming, distributing, and consuming electricity. This system converts primary energy sources from nature into electrical energy via mechanical devices, and then delivers electricity to end users through transmission, transformation, and distribution networks.
The transmission of electrical energy, together with transformation, distribution, and end‑use, constitutes the overall functionality of the power system. Through transmission, geographically distant power plants—sometimes separated by thousands of kilometers—are linked to load centers, enabling the development and utilization of electricity to transcend regional boundaries. Compared with the transport of other energy sources (such as coal or oil), electric transmission features lower losses, higher efficiency, greater flexibility and convenience, easier control, and reduced environmental impact. Moreover, transmission can interconnect power plants located in different regions, facilitating peak‑valley load management. As a key manifestation of the advantages of electric energy use, transmission serves as an essential energy artery in modern society.
