Producing and supplying electricity is a complicated process, which uses sophisticated equipment. However, if this equipment is to doi its job, trained operators must run it.

When you have completed this unit, you will know what a power system is, how mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy, what the steam cycle is, what processes and components are involved in the steam cycle, and what general steps should be taken if emergency conditions arise."
