Power industry basically includes 5 production segment. ① generates electricity, include firepower to generate electricity, waterpower, nuclear energy and other energy resources generate electricity; ② transmit electricity, include to communicate transmit electricity and dc transmit electricity: ③ changes report; ④ distribution; ⑤ uses phone, include to use the installation of electric equipment, control that use and uses electric bear, and the power system that the equipment join that exists place of these 5 link rises, in addition, still include the electric power capital construction such as design of program, survey and construction, electric power science and technology studies with electric power machinery equipment is made.
Electric power technology, the definition according to the technology is the comprehensive intellectual system that forms power industry, development power industry, its along with the development of modern science and technology ceaseless and forward progress. The development of electric power technology promotes the development of power industry, the phylogeny of power industry is the phylogeny of electric power technology; The development of power industry needs more advanced technology support, promote the development of electric power technology conversely. Accordingly, power industry development must rely on technology progress, the research of electric power science and technology must face electric power construction, for power industry development serves.
