Power
From Generation to Utilisation
There are several methods that we use to generate electrical power around the world. The most significant of all of these by a long way is Coal, which accounts for over 40% of the world’s electricity production. Natural Gas is the next largest contributor at over 20%. Fossil fuels in total account for just over two-thirds of our global electricity production. Hydroelectric, Nuclear and Renewables account for the remaining third.
The Electrical Power Systems range from TecQuipment, covers the principles of electrical power; generation, transformation, transmission, distribution and protection.
View our Electrical Power Systems range on our Industrial website.
TecQuipment also provide equipment that enables students to understand the principles around the whole power industry, that allows electricity to reach our homes and factories. These areas include the structures that allow the transmission of electricity, the machine theory that supports the workings of a steam turbine or the cooling process needed in a power station.

ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM SIMULATOR
A self-contained unit that simulates all parts of electrical power systems and their protection, from generation to utilisation.
Hydro-Electric Turbine
The TecQuipment Hydro-Electric Turbine is a versatile, floor-standing, self-contained apparatus for demonstration of hydro-electricity. It is supplied with five different propellers. The product focuses on exploring the best efficiency point of different propellers and perform energy audits to analyse system performance.
Wind Turbine Dynamics
This is a versatile, compact apparatus for teaching the fundamentals of kinetic wind energy conversion into electrical power. Flexibility is at the core, it has a castor-mounted frame for mobility and functionality and allows students to 3D-print their own blades for advanced experimentation.
SUBSONIC WIND TUNNEL 305 mm
An open circuit suction subsonic wind tunnel with a working section of 300 mm by 300 mm and 600 mm long.
WATER TO AIR HEAT EXCHANGERS
An experimental unit to show how cross-flow water to air heat exchangers work.
FREE AND FORCED VIBRATIONS
Allows Students to investigate the free and forced vibration of a rigid beam and spring, and a simply supported beam.
STATIC AND DYNAMIC BALANCING
For experiments in balancing a rotating mass system, statically and dynamically
PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS
An apparatus to allow investigations and demonstrations into the operation and performance of a high efficiency photovoltaic cell array and battery storage system.
EQUILIBRIUM OF A RIGID BODY
Practical demonstration of the equilibrium of a ladder.
STATICS WORK PANEL
A vertical work panel printed with a metric grid. For use with the STF range of experiments.
BEAM APPARATUS
A bench mounted beam apparatus to allow students to investigate the deflections and reactions in simply supported and cantilevered beams.
TRANSMISSION LINE SIMULATOR
Investigates short, medium and long transmission line performance in single-phase and three-phase systems.
TURBOJET TRAINER WITH REHEAT
Based on the Turbo Jet (GT100) this product has a reheat (afterburner) section for in-depth examination of a working gas turbine.
ENGINEERING SCIENCE FULL SET
A complete set of TecQuipment’s Engineering Science kits and three Work Panels within a mobile trolley.
COOLING TOWERS
Demonstrates the operational characteristics of an evaporative cooling tower.
PROCESS TRAINER
A fully integrated and self-contained bench top process control apparatus containing valves, pumps, power supplies and ancillaries to allow flow, level, temperature and pressure control strategies to be investigated individually and in combinations.
PLC PROCESS
Provides a physical system on which students can gain experience in the programming of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The process is a model of a two-tank system typical of a chemical process in which liquids are measured before being mixed. The task for the student is to control liquid level and flow. For use with the PLC Trainer (CE123).
