Section 1 Introduction 第一节介绍
The modern society depends on the electricity supply more heavily than ever before.现代社会比以往任何时候对电力供应的依赖更多。 It can not be imagined what the world should be if the electricity supply were interrupted all over
the world. 如果中断了世界各地的电力供应 ，无法想像世界会变成什么样子Electric power systems (or electric
energy systems), providing electricity to the modern society, have become indispensable components of the industrial
world. 电力系统（或电力能源系统），提供电力到现代社会，已成为产业界的不可缺少的组成部分。
The first complete electric power system (comprising a generator, cable, fuse, meter, and loads) was built by Thomas
Edison – the historic Pearl Street Station in New York City which began operation in September 1882. 托马斯爱迪生建立了世界上第一个完整的电力系统（包括发电机，电缆，熔断器，计量，并加载）它就是位于纽约市具有历史意义的珍珠街的发电厂 始于1882年9月运作。 This was a DC system consisting of a steam-engine-driven DC

Introduction to Electrical Engineering and Automation
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that deals with the study, design, and
application of electrical systems, devices, and equipment. It encompasses a wide range of
areas, including power generation, transmission and distribution, control systems,
electronics, telecommunications, and computer engineering. The field of electrical
engineering has played a crucial role in shaping the modern world, as it is responsible for
the development of various technologies that have revolutionized industries and everyday
life.
Automation, on the other hand, refers to the use of control systems and information
technologies to reduce human intervention and improve efficiency in various processes. It
involves the integration of electrical, mechanical, and computer engineering to create
