This unit introduces learners to the fundamental concepts and components of electrical power systems. It covers the processes involved in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy, as well as the equipment used in each stage. Learners will explore different sources of power such as hydro, thermal, solar, and wind, and understand how electrical energy is delivered from power stations to consumers.
The unit also emphasizes the importance of system protection, fault detection, and safety practices in ensuring reliable and efficient power supply. Through both theoretical knowledge and practical activities, learners will develop the skills required to identify components of power systems, analyze basic operations, and apply safety measures in electrical environments.
