Rationale The generating stations are located at remote areas since power distribution process is complicated. The energy supply system includes different Levels of voltages, which will provide different stages of the conversion of voltages in power system .This subject helps the students to analyse the behaviour of different type of substations and transmission & distribution lines .The knowledge gained in this subject is help full to the students in future.
