TASK 1

Read the following passage and answer the questions below

POWER ELECTRONICS
Power electronics is a critical field in electrical engineering, involving the conversion and
control of electrical power. It encompasses the design and implementation of circuits and
systems that efficiently handle the conversion of electrical energy from one form to another.
Power electronic devices, such as rectifiers, inverters, and converters, play a vital role in
various applications, including power supplies, electric vehicles, renewable energy systems,
and motor drives.
Power converters, for instance, enable the conversion of AC (alternating current) to DC
(direct current) and vice versa, allowing efficient transfer of power between different sources
and loads. In motor drives, power electronic circuits control the speed and torque of electric
motors, enabling precise control and energy efficiency. Additionally, power electronics
technology is crucial for renewable energy systems, where it facilitates the integration of
renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, into the electrical grid.
The advancements in power electronics have revolutionized multiple industries by enabling
energy-efficient systems, reducing energy consumption, and improving overall system
performance. As the demand for cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions continues to
grow, power electronics plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of electrical engineering.

TASK 2

Read the following passage and answer the questions below

ELECTRICAL POWER DISTRIBUTION


Electrical power distribution is a crucial aspect of the modern electrical grid. It involves the
efficient transmission and delivery of electrical energy from power generation plants to end
consumers. The power distribution system consists of various components, including
transformers, distribution lines, substations, and protective devices.
Transformers play a significant role in the power distribution network by stepping up or
stepping down the voltage levels as required.
They facilitate the long-distance transmission of electricity by converting high-voltage power
generated at the power plants to lower voltages suitable for local distribution. Distribution
lines, such as overhead lines and underground cables, transport the electricity to residential,
commercial, and industrial areas.
Substations are important elements in the distribution system that enable voltage regulation,
fault protection, and monitoring. They act as intermediaries between the high-voltage
transmission lines and low-voltage distribution lines, ensuring safe and reliable power supply
to end users. Protective devices, such as circuit breakers and fuses, are implemented to
safeguard the system from overloads, short circuits, and other electrical faults.
Efficient and reliable power distribution is essential to meet the growing energy demands and
ensure uninterrupted electricity supply. Advances in technology, including smart grids and
digital monitoring systems, have improved the management and control of the distribution
network, enabling efficient load balancing, fault detection, and power quality management.
Questions:
1. What is the main focus of the passage?
2. Name three components of the power distribution system.
3. Explain the role of transformers in the power distribution network.
4. What are the functions of substations in the distribution system?
5. How have technological advancements improved power distribution systems?
