They step it down to between 4,000 and 15,000 depending on the local system; then the transformer on the pole just before your home steps that down to 2 phases of 120 each to neutral or 240 volts from phase to phase.

Smaller grids; If you increased solar on buildings, the overproduction could be fed back onto a more LOCAL grid and used quicker and with less volume loss. The steam plants wouldn't have to run so much and you could have multiple, smaller, more efficient grids that only product when demand is higher (night or cloudy days). The current model reminds me of Dunkin (-Donuts). They make donuts all day over and over with the idea that, ideally, every donut will be purchases prior to closing/end of day (24hr stores). In reality, a lot of those donuts get thrown out. I feel the same happens to electricity produced by the steam plants running all day, regardless of demand flow equation chart. The product (coal, gas, etc) used to create the steam to electricity is destroyed. Whereas the solar rays if the sun are going to shine on Mr Johnson's house whether he has solar or not...why not use It? Invest in Solar. Kick a prius driver.

@Eblanc4 жыл бұрын
All of it goes where flow goes, like water. If a device is rated for a certain voltage and you add more you could damage the device. You can add resistors or other small components to cu down or divert the extra voltage, for example a resistor can lower the voltage and the cost of heat dissipation. You can't destroy energy but you can transform it.

Honestly, I am searching for the bare bones of what it takes to generate electricity(using a source such as a water wheel or windmill). It might seem primative by comparing and contrasting them with modern-day wind and water turbines, but their parts are also far easier(both to produce and their renewability) to replace than the current models, with wind turbines requiring rare earth materials that currently only have a life-expectency of 20 years and have a harsh impact on the environment in order to be mined.
