Editing Power Transfer Grid

Power grid or '''Power Transfer Grid'' is an informal term for a system that sends energy throughout a [[starship]], facility or even a planet. These grids can make use of electricity, [[Electro-plasma]] or any number of energy sources. The Federation makes use of a power grid known as the EPS, the primary energy distribution system on their ships and stations.

In 2369, a power transfer grid failed on Deep Space 9, and the upper docking pylons were disabled as a result. (DS9: "A Man Alone")

In 2372, Admiral Leyton had Red Squad sabotage the computers of the Division of Planetary Operations causing Earth's power grid to fail. (DS9: "Paradise Lost")

The [[Orion Syndicate]] planned to interrupt the power grid of the [[Klingon]] embassy on [[Farius Prime]] and assassinate the ambassador before the backups came online. (DS9: "Honor Among Thieves")

Upon entering an energy barrier of a planet in the Rutharian sector, the Chaffee's power grid began to fail. (DS9: "The Sound of Her Voice")

In 2375 in the [[Mirror Universe]], Rom was able to take the power grid of the Regent's flagship offline, leaving it open to attack by the Defiant. (DS9: "The Emperor's New Cloak")

:'''''According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, the power grid transfered electricity from a source (usually a power converter fed by the EPS) to areas where it was needed using electrically-conductive wires or materials. The power transfer grid was similar to a main electrical grid on 20th and 21st century Earth.'''''
