Power engineering is the subfield of electrical engineering that deals with power systems, specifically electric power generation, electric power transmission and electric power distribution, power conversion, and electromechanical devices. Out of necessity, power engineers also rely heavily on the theory of control systems. A power engineer supervises, operates, and maintains machinery and boilers that provide heat, power, refrigeration, and other utility services to heavy industry and large building complexes. Also it deals with the conception of new power sources.
