transmission to consumers click to hear

The electricity is carried to areas of consumption by low-voltage distribution lines.

voltage decrease click to hear

Before integrating the electricity into the home network, the voltage is progressively decreased to 240 V.

high-tension electricity transmission click to hear

Using high-voltage lines to transmit electricity over long distances reduces the strength of the current and, as a result, energy losses.

energy integration to the transmission network click to hear

The electricity produced is integrated into the network.

second voltage increase click to hear

first voltage increase click to hear

Increase in voltage: transformers carry high-voltage electricity produced by the alternator to reduce loss during transport.

horizontal-axis wind turbine click to hear

The most common type of wind turbine whose axis is parallel to the direction of the wind.
