• Electrical gridRelated: Distribution networks connect the grid’s bulk power system to end users.

• Incandescent light bulbRelated: Widespread bulb use depended on dependable systems that brought power into buildings.

• Natural monopolyBroader topic: Duplicating neighborhood wires is usually costlier than sharing one regulated network.

• Overhead power lineNarrower topic: Lower-voltage overhead lines branch through communities to serve homes and businesses.

• War of the currentsRelated: Local distribution networks had to make either system usable in homes and businesses.

• Smart gridRelated: Smart-grid monitoring and automation increasingly extend into distribution networks.

• Transmission lineCompared with: Distribution serves neighborhoods and individual customers, unlike bulk transmission between regions and major grid nodes.

• Mains electricityBroader topic: This final grid stage brings mains electricity from substations to buildings.

• SubstationRelated: Distribution substations feed the lower-voltage circuits serving towns and neighborhoods.

• SupergridCompared with: Distribution serves nearby consumers, while supergrids operate at bulk-transmission scale.

• Utility poleNarrower topic: Distribution networks use poles to route electricity through streets and rural areas.

• Overhead cableRelated: Utility poles carry overhead cables through local distribution networks.
