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 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.
