Electricity has been chosen as the most convenient and useful form of energy, due
to its ease of transportation over large distances and easy conversion to other
energy forms. The biggest inconvenience with electricity is that it cannot be stored
and must be utilized at the moment of generation. The storage of a large amount of
electrical energy is usually connected with its conversion to other types of energy,
which significantly reduces the efficiency of such processes. The aim of the power
system, often treated as the biggest and the most complex machine ever built, is to
deliver uninterruptible electric energy of demanded quality parameters to
consumers.
