Here we will share with you the basic ideas, concepts and knowledge about electrical power engineering(from generation to distribution of electrical power).
Electrical Power System:
Electrical Power System:
Electrical power system includes power generation, electrical power transmission & distribution, control & power system protection, electrical switchgear, power transformers, control & protection relays, transmission & distribution substations, and all switch yard equipment. Electric power has become increasingly important as a way of transmitting and transforming energy in industrial, military and transportation uses. Electric power systems are also at the heart of alternative energy systems, including wind and solar electric, geothermal and small scale hydroelectric generation.
Power/power system Engineering:
Power engineering is a nework of interconnected components which convert different forms of energy to electrical energy.Power engineering or power systems engineering, is a subfield of electrical engineering that deals with four subsystems_the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electric power as well as the design of a range of electrical devices connected to such systems including transformers, electric generators, electric motors, high voltage engineering, and power electronics.In the generation subsystem, the power plant produces the electricity. The transmission subsystem transmits the electricity to the load centers. The distribution subsystem continues to transmit the power to the customers/consumers. The utilization system is concerned with the different uses of electrical energy like illumination, refrigeration, traction, electric drives, etc. Utilization is a very recent concept in Power engineering.
In many regions of the world, governments maintain an electrical network called a power grid that connects a variety of generators together with users of their energy. Users purchase electrical energy from the grid, avoiding the costly exercise of having to generate their own. Power engineers may work on the design and maintenance of the power grid as well as the power systems that connect to it. Such systems are called on-grid power systems and may supply the grid with additional power, draw power from the grid or do both.
The grid is designed and managed using software that performs simulations of power flows. Power engineers may also work on systems that do not connect to the grid, called off-grid power systems, which in some cases are preferable to on-grid systems.
