Energy and Power Engineering
Sub-disciplines
Energy and Power Engineering developed within Electrical Engineering to enhance sustainable development. This branch of knowledge deals with natural resources to generate energy and distribute power efficiently. This distribution of energy and power includes fossil fuels or petroleum through solar and wave power, wind, nuclear power, or hydroelectricity. Energy and Power Engineering educate students with the art of transforming power from one form into another. It is associated with the fundamentals of electromechanical or electrochemical processes. Under this domain, students grasp the skill of building, maintaining, and developing large power grid networks. The study program usually combines science and engineering, whereby students have access to theoretical lectures as well as practical experience in the lab.
Engineers with a degree in Energy and Power Engineering, work for power utility sectors. Energy and Power Engineers formulate and organise the components of generation, transmission, and distribution. The devices used by them to emit and radiate power are motors, batteries, and capacitors. These devices are required in the process of estimation and stability of power networks. In their attempt to stabilise energy and power, they strive to maximize renewable energy and environmentally friendly power systems. Energy and Power Engineers roll out giant systems that are developed with new techniques, machines, and integrated systems that are reliable in functionality.
