In this country, as well as in most other developed countries, we have gotten used to the conveniences and comforts that electricity provides. Much, if not most, of our modern technology is heavily, or totally dependent on electricity as its energy source. This interactive online course covers the basics of Standby Electrical Power Systems. These are power systems which remain in a standby mode (meaning “ready to go”) just-in-case the utility-supplied electricity to a campus, a building, or an individual room fails, for whatever reason.
