The Electric Delivery System
Length: About 30 minutes
Subscription: 15 days
Cost: $59.00
Prerequisites: None
This course focuses on the three parts of the physical electrical system: generation, transmission and distribution. The course begins with a look how utilities develop an integrated resource plan to predict future supply needs on their systems. The focus then turns to the physical characteristics of the delivery system: generation types and the characteristics and costs of the various generation sources; transmission, its characteristics and costs; and finally details on the distribution system. This module is also included in the full-length course, Electric Industry Overview.
