Electrical Engineering: Review

The electrical engineering field emerged in the late 19th century with the commercialization of the electric telegraph, telephone, and electric power distribution. Since then, it has branched out to include electronics, digital computers, power plant engineering, RF engineering, control systems, signal processing, and telecommunications. Electrical engineers work with electricity to transmit power while electronic engineers process information using electricity. Key historical figures who advanced the field include Gilbert, Faraday, Edison, Tesla, Ohm, and Faraday through discoveries like electromagnetic induction and inventions like the battery, alternating current, and more.

CHANGES OCCURRED IN THE
FIELD OF ELECTRICITY :

In the beginning of 1830s, efforts were made to


apply electricity in the practices of telegraph.

By the end of the 19th century the world had


been forever changed by the rapid
communication made possible, by engineering
developments of land-lines, submarine cables,
and wireless telegraphy.
STANDARDISATION OF UNITS:
Practical applications and advances in the field
created an increasing need for standardized units
to measure.
It led to the international standardization of
the units volt, ampere, coulomb, ohm, farad,
and Henry.
This was achieved at an international
conference in Chicago 1893.
During these decades the use of electrical
engineering increased dramatically.

In 1882, Thomas Edison switched on the


world's first large-scale electric power network
that provided 110 volts — direct current (DC) —
to 59 customers on Manhattan Island in New
York City.
THOMAS EDISON
Thomas Edison builds world’s large-
scale electric supply network.

• Incandescent light bulb


• Phonograph
• Mimeograph
• Electricity distribution
• Carbon microphone
• Quadruplex telegraph
• Phonograph cylinder
• Movie camera
For AC systems, however, the transmitted power
limited by reliability and voltage stability requirements.
Today, the normal capacity is 600 megawatts(MW)
for 400 KV links and 2000 MW for 765 KV systems.
During these years, the study of electricity
was largely considered to be a subfield of physics.
It was not until about 1885 that
universities and institutes of technology
such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) and Cornell University started to offer
bachelor's degrees in electrical engineering.
The Darmstadt University of
Technology founded the first department of
electrical engineering in the world in 1882.
HVDC

The development of HVDC for transmission


purposes began in the mid of 1920s.
The first commercial HVDC link, delivered
by ASEA (Swedish electrical company) in 1954,
carried power between the mainland of Sweeden
and the island of Gotland.
