grid

Network by which electricity is generated and distributed over a region or country. It contains many power stations and switching centres and allows, for example, high demand in one area to be met by surplus power generated in another.

The term is also used for any grating system, as in a cattle grid for controlling the movement of livestock across roads, and a conductor in a storage battery or electron gun.

grid

Network of crossing parallel lines. Rectangular grids are used for drawing graphs. Isometric grids are used for drawing representations of solids in two dimensions in which lengths in the drawing match the lengths of the object.
