Electric power is universal: it is practical to transmit over long distances and easy to distribute among individual consumers.
These tasks are solved by a power system where power from fuel or falling water is transformed into electric power, currents and voltages are transformed, and electric power is distributed and supplied to consumers.
A part of the power system including transformer substations (TS) and electric transmission lines (ETL) is called an electric grid. Therefore, the electric grid is used for electric power transmission from the points of production to the points of consumption and for its distribution among individual consumers and consumer groups.
To decrease losses in electric transmission lines (ETL) during electric power transmission from a source to consumer, voltage is increased using step-up transformers.
Upon completion of transmission via ETL, voltage is decreased using step-down transformers. Electric power is transmitted from the main step-down substation directly to facilities where final voltage decrease is performed at transformer substations (TS). In remote areas, mobile diesel power plants are used as temporary electric power sources for a construction site.
Technological connection is a service package provided by grid companies to legal entities and individuals with the purpose of electric power output. Technological connection entails actual connection of consumer power receivers (power plants) to grid facilities.
Technological connection service is provided to newly connected consumers, as well as to consumers experiencing the need to increase the power input, and includes a broad set of activities, such as:
filing of an application by a legal entity or individual intending to make the technological connection, increase the maximum capacity limit, as well as revise the power supply reliability category, connection points, and types of production activities without the need to revise (increase) the maximum capacity value but implying the need to customize the external power supply scheme of
consumer power receivers;
conclusion of the contract;
implementation of technological connection activities by contracting parties as established in the contract;
obtaining a permission from the federal state energy supervision agency authorizing the operation of applicant's facilities (in the instances provided for by the Technological Connection Regulations);
actual connection of applicant's facilities to electric grids performed by the grid operator and actual voltage and power receipt (supply);
drawing up of a certificate of technological connection, as well as an act of coordination of technological and (or) emergency reserved quota (for applicants specified in article 14(2) of Technological Connection Regulations).
