Power Grid

This edition was published in 2007 as a promotional tie-in with EnBW, a power company in the German state of Baden-Württemberg.


Emergence BioEnergy

Founded by Iqbal Quadir, of GrameenPhone fame, Emergence BioEnergy plans on using a specially designed Stirling engine, in order to create small 1 kW power stations to serve individual villages rather than relying on a traditional centralized power grid.

Nuclear power plant

On June 27, 1954, the world's first nuclear power plant to generate electricity for a power grid started operations at the Soviet city of Obninsk.

Outlive

Transmission Substation - Due to Human faction's structure must rely on power grid in limited areas, players can build Transmission Substations to extend power grid to your faraway base.

Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande

The Sistema Interconectado del Norte Grande (Spanish for Interconnected System of Norte Grande) or SING is an alternating current power grid serving the Norte Grande zone of Chile, it produces 19% of the national power generation.

Small-world experiment

They showed that networks from both the natural and man-made world, such as the neural network of C. elegans and power grids, exhibit the small-world phenomenon.

Atlantropa

The publicity material produced for Atlantropa by Sörgel and his supporters contain plans, maps, and scale models of several dams and new ports on the Mediterranean, views of the Gibraltar dam crowned by a 400-metre tower designed by Peter Behrens, projections of the growth of agricultural production, sketches for a pan-Atlantropan power grid, and even provision for the protection of Venice as a cultural landmark.

Berlin 380-kV electric line

The city was finally relinked to the western German power grid via a new 170-km transmission line to Helmstedt, just behind the former inner-German border.

Bornholm Cable

The power grid of Bornholm consists of a 60 kV-ring line connecting the substations Hasle, Olsker, Østerlars, Dalslunde, Bodilsker, Aakirkeby, Rønne-Syd, Rønne Power Station, Viadukten, Snorrebakken.

Broadcast transmitter

For example, the Allouis, Konstantynow and Roumoules transmitters are fed from the high-voltage network (110 kV in Alouis and Konstantynow, 150 kV in Roumoules) even though a power supply from the medium-voltage level of the power grid (about 20 kV) would be able to deliver enough power.

Watts and Strogatz model

Consequently, the model is able to at least partially explain the "small-world" phenomena in a variety of networks, such as the power grid, neural network of C. elegans, and a network of movie actors.
