The electric distribution network is a power delivery system consisting of cables that deliver electric power from its point of generation to the end users. Electrical distribution systems are primarily designed to meet the consumer's demands for energy. This is achieved by taking energy from primary substations and delivering it to various customer substations through either underground cables or above ground lines. Because of the lack of space, some cities and towns primarily rely more on underground cables and rural areas lean more towards overhead lines. Choosing between underground or above grounds methods can depend on how much protection and control can be provided. When it comes to choosing which method is best for the area, there are three components of planning that are taken into consideration: long term planning, network planning, and construction planning. Long term planning refers to thinking ahead, or in other words, thinking of the future. There are some questions that should be taken into account when using this method, for instance, if there was a new establishment that needed an energy supply, would there be an easy fix to add on to the network? This also falls directly into network planning which should make the distribution easier to manage if conducted effectively. Furthermore, construction planning is all the engineering work and actual mapping that goes into electrical distribution. These distribution systems help to provide each home, business, and other organizations with electricity in order to perform daily functions. For example, some of the functions include keeping the refrigerator running to prevent spoilage of food or lighting up a room with artificial light. Having a reliable system is essential for productivity and the less mistakes that need to be fixed, the more efficient a business can run.
