AC transmission and Generators and alternators

Energy flows from generators and alternators to AC transmission.

AC transmission (energy) and Generators and alternators (energy): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 90% of flow · Generators and alternators → AC transmission

Power-station generators feed the transmission grid.

  • 90% of Generators and alternators's energy goes this way
