ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Electrical Engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of electrical energy for the benefit of mankind.

Electrical Energy is the only form of energy, which can be easily converted to any another form of energy. Electrical energy is basically very clean, environmental friendly and economical to transport. We can setup generating stations where resources are available. Also, this generated energy can be transmitted to the desired load present at any locations economically as compared to other sources of energy. For this reason, electrical energy has a great significance in the modern world.

Now, there are many ways for generating electrical energy. Around 70 to 75% of electrical energy is produced from fossil fuels. Rest of the energy is produced from hydel energy, wind energy, tidal energy, nuclear energy and solar energy. Although major portion of energy is produced from fossil fuels like coal, we are more interested in renewable sources.
