ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, and DISTRIBUTION

ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, and DISTRIBUTION

Introduction

    The generation, delivery, and utilization of electric power and energy remain one of the most challenging and exciting fields of electrical engineering. The astounding technological developments of our age are highly dependent upon a safe, reliable, and economic supply of electric power. The objective of Electric Power Engineering Handbook, 2nd Edition is to provide a contemporary overview of this far reaching field as well as to be a useful guide and educational resource for its study. It is intended to define electric power engineering by bringing together the core of knowledge from all of the many topics encompassed by the field. The chapters are written primarily for the electric power engineering professional who is seeking factual information, and secondarily for the professional from other engineering disciplines who wants an overview of the entire field or specific information on one aspect of it.

Power Generation

Non conventional methods

    The traditional energy sources, which have been in use for a while, are often nonrenewable sources of energy. These energy sources are being exploited in such a way that their known supplies have been greatly depleted. Nonconventional energy (or renewable sources of energy) refers to energy sources that are continuously created by nature and are not exhaustible.

Conventional methods

    We refer to energy sources as "conventional sources of energy" or "non-renewable energy resources" when we can't utilize them again after the first time. They are the most significant conventional energy sources. Coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear power are a few of these. The most popular energy source is oil.
