1. Remote control of electrical network installations
1.1 Power grid: role and complexity
The role of the grid is to deliver non-storable electrical energy to where it's needed, when it's needed.
A large number of structures are required to maintain a high quality of service at all times, and at the lowest overall cost. In France, there are three main types of network.
-
A powerful interconnection network serves :
on the one hand, to transport large quantities of energy over long distances, from producing areas to consuming areas;
