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.
