Project description
Read the articles in Readings and References. There is some repetition in the articles, so some of the articles may be skimmed. Answer the following
questions and submit them in the usual way.
1. Who runs the electric grid? The North American Electric Reliability Corporation has a role to play in the operation and reliability of the
electric grid. Write a brief description of the organization, its members and how it functions.
2. Why is long distance power transmission sent on high voltage (high tension) wires? Compare two transmission lines: one at twice the voltage of the
second. Which of the two lines is most advantageous to a utility company? How much is the advantage?
