This course explores the production of electricity from natural energy sources, examining how different methods are used based on production scales and the evolving shift toward low-carbon solutions to combat climate change. Students will gain an understanding of two primary types of electricity production:
Centralized Production: Electricity is generated in large quantities at centralized power plants using a variety of energy sources (fossil, fissile, and renewable). This electricity is then distributed to consumers across the country through extensive transmission and distribution networks.
Decentralized Production: Electricity is produced locally, often at or near the point of consumption, in smaller quantities. This method primarily utilizes renewable energy sources and promotes self-consumption, reducing dependence on large-scale power infrastructure.
This course is prepared for first-year master students in Industrial Electrical Engineering.

The content of these notes is divided into the following chapters:
1- General techniques of electricity production
2- Decentralized electricity production
3- A Strategic Roadmap for the Transition to Decentralized Electricity
-
This chapter explores general techniques to produce electricity which can be generated by an energy source provided by nature. This operation is carried out using different means of production, depending on the quantities produced and on the essential evolution of the current mode of production and energy consumption towards low carbon solutions to fight climate change.
-
Decentralized electricity production represents a significant shift from traditional, large-scale power generation methods. In this chapter, we explore how electricity can be generated closer to the point of consumption, often using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and biomass. Decentralized systems offer greater energy independence, reduce transmission losses, and contribute to sustainability by promoting low-carbon energy solutions.

The transition to decentralized electricity production marks a pivotal shift in how energy is generated, distributed, and consumed. This chapter outlines a strategic roadmap for navigating this transformation, focusing on the technical, regulatory, and societal changes required to achieve a decentralized energy model. Decentralized systems promote localized generation, often utilizing renewable resources, reducing transmission losses, and increasing energy independence. As climate change accelerates the need for cleaner energy solutions, this roadmap provides a comprehensive guide to overcoming the challenges of decentralization, integrating new technologies, and ensuring a sustainable, resilient energy future.
