Rationale:
The majority of the diploma passouts who get employment in State Electricity Boards have to perform various activities in the field of generation, transmission & distribution of electrical power. The range of these activities vary from simple operation and maintenance of equipment, lines, fault location, planning and designing of simple distribution schemes, executive and supervisory control in power stations, transmission and distribution networks in addition to administrative jobs including public relations. They should also be made aware of recent developments, current practices in the electricity departments, corporations and boards to keep them abreast with modern techniques in transmission & distribution of electrical power.
Learning Outcomes:
After undergoing the subject, students will be able to:
- Distinguish and select suitable resource of energy required for a particular area and environment
- Calculate effective cost generation
- Explain the working of various plants for power generation

9. Non Conventional Source of Energy (5 Periods)
Introduction, Concept of Solar Energy, Bio Mass Energy, Wind Energy, Tidal Energy, Geothermal Energy, Microhydel Energy, Biodiesel Energy.
Instructional Strategy:
Since this is a descriptive and practice oriented subject, it is suggested that visits to different types of power generating stations and substations including grid stations be arranged and various equipment, accessories and components explained to the students before the actual class room teaching and make them familiar with the equipment and accessories installed over there. There should be at least 3 visits during the semester. The students may be asked to prepare notes while on visit and submit the report and give seminar. In addition, viva-voce be conducted to evaluate the knowledge gained during the field visit.
Means of Assessment:
- Assignments and quiz/class tests, mid-term and end-term written tests, model/prototype making
- Actual laboratory and practical work, model/prototype making, assembly and disassembly exercises and viva-voce
