Course Description

This course introduces the fundamental electrical principles of voltage, current, resistance, and power, and explains how these concepts apply to electricity generation. Learners will explore the function and general characteristics of different types of power plants, including thermal, nuclear, hydroelectric, and renewable facilities. The module also outlines the electrical flow path from power generation through step-up transformers and into the transmission network, establishing a foundation for understanding downstream T&D operations.
Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe how voltage, current, resistance, and power relate to electricity generation and transmission.
  2. Recognize how different types of power plants convert raw energy into electrical energy using key equipment such as turbines, generators, and cooling systems.
  3. Explain how electricity is stepped up in voltage and routed through switchyards and substations for efficient transmission.
