ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

Renewable energy, often referred to as clean energy, comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly replenished. For example, sunlight or wind keep shining and blowing, even if their availability depends on time and weather.

The power system is a network which consists generation, distribution and transmission system. It uses the form of energy (like coal and diesel) and converts it into electrical energy. ... The power plant generates the power which is step-up or step-down through the transformer for transmission.

High voltage electricity refers to electric potential large enough to cause injury or damage. In certain industries, high voltage refers to voltage above a certain threshold. Equipment and conductors that carry high voltage warrant special safety requirements and procedures.

An embedded system is a microprocessor-based computer hardware system with software that is designed to perform a dedicated function, either as an independent system or as a part of a large system. At the core is an integrated circuit designed to carry out computation for real-time operations.

One of the basic functions of switchgear is protection, which is interruption of short-circuit and overload fault currents while maintaining service to unaffected circuits. Switchgear also provides isolation of circuits from power supplies.

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a new generation of storage device used in computers. SSDs replace traditional mechanical hard disks by using flash-based memory, which is significantly faster. ... SSDs speed up computers significantly due to their low read-access times and fast throughputs.

Power electronics is the application of solid-state electronics to the control and conversion of electric power. ... In contrast to electronic systems concerned with transmission and processing of signals and data, in power electronics substantial amounts of electrical energy are processed.

Power system analyses are an essential part of electrical power system design. Calculations and simulations are performed to verify that the electrical system, including the system components, are correctly specified to perform as intended, withstand expected stress and be protected against failures.

A linear integrated circuit (linear IC) is a solid-state analog device characterized by a theoretically infinite number of possible operating states. It operates over a continuous range of input levels. In contrast, a digital IC has a finite number of discrete input and output states.

An electronic circuit is a group of electronic components connected for a specific purpose.

A simple electronic circuit can be designed easily because it requires few discrete electronic components and connections.

Measurement and Instrumentation introduces undergraduate engineering students to the measurement principles and the range of sensors and instruments that are used for measuring physical variables.

Digital Logic or Boolean Logic represents signals and sequences in a digital circuit through numbers. It is a system of rules that allow us to make complicated decisions based on simple yes/no questions. It becomes the foundation of digital computing and explains how circuits and hardware communicate within a computer.

Transmission and distribution refers to the different stages of carrying electricity over poles and wires from generators to a home or a business. ... Transmission lines move large amounts of power at a high voltage level – a level that is too much to be delivered directly to a home or business.

Power plant engineering or power station engineering is a division of power engineering, and is defined as "the engineering and technology required for the production of central station electric power." The field is focused on the generation of power for industries and communities, not for household power production.

Electronic devices are components for controlling the flow of electrical currents for the purpose of information processing and system control. Prominent examples include transistors and diodes. Electronic devices are usually small and can be grouped together into packages called integrated circuits.

a theory in physics: light consists of electromagnetic oscillations perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave motion.
