This course is designed like a field trip. Let’s travel together around the world, visiting solar farms, substations, and transformer rooms! Learn how to identify major components in electrical substations, learn about 3-phase electricity, and all about the ins and outs of electrical grids. We cover generation, transmission, and distribution. Welcome!
Offered by the National University of Singapore (NUS)
Welcome to the fascinating world of electricity infrastructure! This intermediate-level course is a comprehensive exploration of the entire electricity ecosystem. From generation to transmission, and from distribution to safe usage, this course covers it all. You'll dive deep into the practical aspects of electrical systems, gaining hands-on knowledge about real-world installations and setups.
To get the most out of this course, you should have a basic understanding of electricity. This includes familiarity with Ohm's Law and the use of phasors in AC circuits. If you need to brush up on these concepts, the courses "Circuits for Beginners" and "AC & Switching Circuits" are recommended as preparatory material.
This course is ideal for engineering students, electrical technicians, energy professionals, and anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of how our modern electrical infrastructure works. It's perfect for those looking to advance their career in the energy sector or for curious minds wanting to understand the complexities behind flipping a light switch.
This course offers a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical insights, making it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to understand or work with electrical systems. By the end of this course, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of electricity infrastructure that you can apply in various real-world scenarios.

The primary goal of the course is to enable the student to understand what semiconductors are, and why they are important to the electronics industry. Students will first learn and understand why some materials are insulators and others are conductors, and will learn how these properties can be modified. The course also explores other situations where the conductivity of an insulator can be drastically changed, such as the situation inside a bolt of lightning or inside a semiconductor.
