Abstract

The supply of electricity since the days of Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse has been an ever‐changing and rapid‐growth environment. One of the most significant changes came in 1964, when seven separate systems were connected to ultimately form what is known today as the Eastern Interconnection. In it, all of the generators, transmission lines, and loads operate as one very large system. The interconnections—Eastern, Western, Texas, and Quebec—operate with all generators in synchronization, making them essentially one very large machine (Exhibit 1).
