JNTUK B.Tech Utilization of Electrical Energy for R13 Batch.

JNTUK B.Tech Utilization of Electrical Energy R13 Syllabus for Engineering it gives you detail information about Utilization of Electrical Energy syllabus.

Preamble

This course primarily deals with utilization of electrical energy generated from various sources. It is important to understand the technical reasons behind selection of motors for electric drives based on the characteristics of loads. Electric heating, welding and illumination are some important loads in the industry in addition to motor/drives. Another major share of loads is taken by Electric Traction. Utilization of electrical energy in all the above loads is discussed in detail in this course. Demand side management concepts are also introduced as a part of this course.
