Power Generation/Introduction/Intro 5

Electrical energy is the most used form of energy everywhere. As seen in part 3, electrical energy is a result of conversion from other forms of energy that are abundant in nature. Those other forms of energy are usually generated and utilised at will.

Unfortunately, bulk storage of electrical energy for a long duration is not possible yet. This is the fundamental problem in electrical energy generation. Electrical energy must be generated and transmitted to the point of consumption at the instant of demand. this instant is usually less than a second.
