Home›Grid Equipment›All Grid EquipmentBrowse ByAll Grid EquipmentReference and ClassificationDevelopingThe electrical transformer, the technology that steps electrical voltage up or down for efficient transmission and safe distribution. Belongs here: hardware that moves or conditions electricity across the grid rather than generating or storing it. Does not belong here: the electric generator, which produces the current in the first place, grouped under Electrical Machine.FactsAll Grid EquipmentSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1876 1All Grid EquipmentFilter Results59 entriesTechnology TypeAllGrid Monitoring, Metering and Control (14)HVDC and Power Converters (2)Reactive Power and Voltage Control (11)Switchgear and Circuit Protection (15)Transformers (9)Vehicle Charging and Grid Interface (3)Invented EraAll1879 (1)1882 (1)1885 (2)1895 (1)1930 (1)1940 (1)1954 (1)1957 (1)1972 (2)1988 (1)1995 (2)1997 (1)2003 (1)DeveloperAllElihu Thomson (1)George Westinghouse (1)John Dixon Gibbs (1)John Hopkinson (1)Lucien Gaulard (1)Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky (1)Thomas Edison (1)William Stanley Jr. (1)MaturityAllTRL 7: System Prototype Demonstration in Operational Environment (6)TRL 9: Actual System Proven in Operational Environment (51)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 59Arc-Fault Circuit InterrupterGrid EquipmentAutomatic Generation ControlGrid EquipmentAutomatic Meter ReadingGrid EquipmentAutomatic Transfer SwitchGrid EquipmentBooster (electric power)Grid EquipmentBusbarGrid EquipmentCable Fault LocationGrid EquipmentCapacitor BankGrid EquipmentCharging StationGrid EquipmentCircuit BreakerGrid EquipmentConductive ChargingGrid EquipmentCurrent TransformerGrid EquipmentCycloconverterGrid EquipmentDistribution Management SystemGrid EquipmentDistribution TransformerGrid EquipmentDynamic Line RatingGrid EquipmentElectrical DisconnectorGrid EquipmentElectrical TransformerGrid EquipmentEnergy Management System (Electrical Grid)Grid EquipmentFault Current LimiterGrid EquipmentFlexible AC Transmission SystemGrid EquipmentGrid-Forming InverterGrid EquipmentGrounding TransformerGrid EquipmentHigh-Voltage Direct CurrentGrid EquipmentHVDC Converter StationGrid EquipmentInduction RegulatorGrid EquipmentLoad Break SwitchGrid EquipmentMicrogridGrid EquipmentNetwork ProtectorGrid EquipmentOutage Management SystemGrid EquipmentPhasor Measurement UnitGrid EquipmentPower InverterGrid EquipmentPower TransformerGrid EquipmentPower-Line CommunicationGrid EquipmentProtective RelayGrid EquipmentQuadrature BoosterGrid EquipmentRecloserGrid EquipmentResidual-Current DeviceGrid EquipmentRing Main UnitGrid EquipmentSCADAGrid EquipmentSectionalizerGrid EquipmentShunt ReactorGrid EquipmentSmart GridGrid EquipmentSmart MeterGrid EquipmentSolid-State TransformerGrid EquipmentStatic Synchronous CompensatorGrid EquipmentStatic Synchronous Series CompensatorGrid EquipmentStatic VAR CompensatorGrid EquipmentSurge ArresterGrid EquipmentSwitchgearGrid EquipmentSynchronous CondenserGrid EquipmentTap ChangerGrid EquipmentThyristor-Controlled Series CapacitorGrid EquipmentUnified Power Flow ControllerGrid EquipmentVacuum InterrupterGrid EquipmentVehicle-to-GridGrid EquipmentVirtual Power PlantGrid EquipmentVoltage RegulatorGrid EquipmentVoltage TransformerGrid EquipmentSources1.
