electric power transmission
bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site to an electrical substation
transmission tower
tall structure used to support an overhead power line
Ferranti effect
Increase in voltage at a long AC power line
synchronous condenser
machinery use to to adjust conditions on the electric power transmission grid
flexible AC transmission system
a power electronics-based system composed of static equipment used for the AC transmission of electrical energy to enhance controllability and increase power transfer capability of the network
power transmission
movement of energy from its place of generation to a location where it is applied to perform useful work
shorepower
provision of electrical power for use by a ship at berth
high-voltage cable
electric cable designed for use with high voltage (~ over 1 kV)

type of circuit inducteur
transposition tower
electricity pylon or pole, on which the relative physical positions of conductors change (left↔right and/or top↔bottom)
grid code
technical specification for an electrical grid and/or connected facilities
conductor gallop
high-amplitude, low-frequency oscillation of overhead power lines due to wind

transmission cable for carrying electric power below the surface of the water
ancillary services
services necessary to support the transmission of electric power to maintain reliable operations of the interconnected transmission system
cascading failure
process in a system of interconnected parts in which the failure of one or few parts can trigger the failure of other parts and so on
