Understanding electrical grids
Progress took a giant leap forward when our ancestors imitated lightning bolts to start the fires they used for heating, lighting, cooking and conviviality.
Electricity now powers the modern society, whether turning on and off tiny microprocessor switches millions of times a second or sending locomotives hurtling along the track at over 500 kilometres an hour.
Here we will learn more about the way today’s electricity is generated and delivered. We’ll also look at the growing need for electricity, the challenges this poses for the electrical grid and how these challenges are being addressed.
