Fundamentals of Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution Systems

Learn the essentials of electrical power engineering (basic concepts, electrical components and power generation, transmission, and distribution). 14 lessons in 7h 8m total course length.

Course Description

This power engineering course will teach basic concepts like current, voltage, power, energy, impedance concepts with complex numbers math, and the difference between single-phase and three-phase systems. In addition to basic concepts, you will get information about electrical components in the electrical power sector like transformers, circuit breakers, fuses, power cables, etc.

Lastly, you will have a general idea about how electricity comes to our homes from power plants and some fundamental principles in the generation, transmission, and distribution systems of electrical power.
