Roadmap For Power Engineering

As we all know that electricity plays a very important role in our daily life. Nowadays, electricity is like a part of our life without electricity we can not live for 30 minutes. If there will be a power cut for 4 hours then many people will suffer especially youth who want to charge their mobile and laptop regularly. Even I will face a problem if there will be a power cut for one day. Ok, let’s come to the topic of power engineering.

What is power engineering?

Power engineering is the field of electrical engineering and it deals with the electrical energy generation, the transmission of energy, distribution, and utilization of energy. In power engineering, the engineers are responsible for designing, controlling, and monitoring the electrical system.

Scope of power engineering

Nowadays, the population of all countries is increasing day by day, the industries are growing day by day and more technological development is happening, due to this, the demand for electricity is also increasing. The electricity demand is increasing because all industries and modern devices need smooth electricity, so to meet the demand and proper energy, we need to install more power plants, transmission lines, and distribution lines.

So, to design and maintain the power plants, transmission, and distribution lines power engineers are required. Therefore, the demand for power engineers is also high and it will increase more as the population and industries grow more.

Companies for power engineers

To get a job in power engineering, we should have a degree in electrical engg. The companies which are hiring power engineers are:

NPTC (National Power Thermal Corporation)
Power Grid Corporation
Tata Power
