Why study Electrical Energy and SmartGrid?

Electric power generation, monitoring and control are important not only in large power plants and distribution systems, but also in fields such as aerospace and renewable electric energy. Skills can be applied to problems such as setting up remote power systems on temporary air bases or space stations and developing intelligent power distribution systems for the communities of today and tomorrow.
