Wide area synchronous grid

Topic

A wide area synchronous grid, also known as a grid interconnection or synchronous zone, is a regional-scale three-phase electric power grid that operates at a synchronized utility frequency and is electrically tied together during normal system conditions. These interconnected grids allow for the sharing of generation resources, enhancing reliability and efficiency across vast geographical areas. Examples include the Eastern and Western Interconnections in North America and the synchronous grid of Continental Europe.
