Power engineering

Power engineering is also known as power systems engineering and it deals with generating, transmitting, delivering and using electrical power and the devices connected to this system, for example, generators and motors. Electrical power is sub-divided into two sections – AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current). AC controlled appliances are items like refrigerators, air conditioners whereas DC controlled items are computers and digital equipment. These DC items normally have an adapter that you plug in and this converts AC power to DC power. AC power is easy to transform between voltages whereas DC power is more economical to transmit over long distance and at a higher voltage. Power engineering is commonplace in the home and business environment. Power engineering provides electricity to our appliances, and engineers maintain the system and process to ensure there is no failure. The electrical supply is provided via a wide range of generators that are connected to the electrical network known as the power grid or national grid.
