To ensure a hands-on experience for ARCHIDES students, Dr. Salim Haddad, the instructor of Electrical Design of Buildings, planned a field trip to Hreiche power plant for students to get exposed to how low and high voltages are generated, transmitted, and distributed.
ARCHIDES fourth year students went through every detail of this process by listening to experts and understanding how electrical system works.
It all starts at the control room where all machines are controlled remotely, and ends up with the transformer that steps up the 13.8 kV coming from the generator to 66 kV so it could be transmitted by a three phase, two lines, system then distributed to cities.
