ABB's "Layman's Guide" to power transmission and distribution

In this briefing document, ABB seeks to simplify the highly complex world of power transmission and distribution by explaining the basics in a clear way; we want to break down the barriers to understanding created, among other things, by industry-specific acronyms, like FACTS, HVDC and SCADA. The intention here is to provide the general media or other interested non-technicians with a brief guide.
