From generator to grid
SYSTEM 01
Generator step-up
Net output steps up to transmission voltage at the fence. The interface has to satisfy the interconnect study before it satisfies anyone else.
345 kV
Grid tie
SYSTEM 02
Auxiliary distribution
Cryoplant, pumps, vacuum, and I&C all draw from house power. Aux load is a real fraction of gross and has to be engineered, not estimated.
120 MW

SYSTEM 03
Ride through the transient
Pulsed magnet and heating loads plus grid disturbances mean the electrical system must ride through events that would trip a conventional plant.

Electrical supervision is part of the same operating layer — not a separate island of automation.
