You are applying a job in a multinational company that is conducting experimental research to other possible applications of energy fusion in the world today. As part of the application process, you are requested to present your ideas on the said topic before they could consider your application (along with your other credentials). Difficult as it may seem,
but the HR manager, hinted that if such output passes the review committee, then you are good as hired.

Answer:
Electricity generation, transmission and distribution is a complex engineering process. The process requires huge investment and skilled manpower. The basics of generating electricity remains the same in all forms of electricity such as hydroelectricity, electricity generated using coal, nuclear electricity, renewable energy sources etc. Let us understand in detail.
After electricity is generated in power plant, it is time for transmission. This is done by using step-up transformers that increases the voltage. This high voltage electricity is transmitted through a network of electrically conductive wires of aluminum or copper. These lines are called high-voltage transmission lines that can transmit electricity over long distances.
Electricity is distributed via electric distribution substation. At the substation, the high voltage electricity from the high-voltage transmission lines is passed through step-down transformers that lower the voltage. The electricity is then transmitted to network of local electric distribution lines. Before electricity enters a home, the voltage is again lowered using step-down transformers. In most countries the voltage is 220 V AC or 110 V DC. In a home, electricity is distributed to different outlets by network of wires through electrical wiring.
