Questions
Are tariff and load factor numericals included?
Yes. Demand factor, load factor, two-part tariff and solar / hydro output problems are solved.
Is solar rooftop covered?
Yes. PV plants, inverters and net metering are explained in the renewable unit.
Is this course based on the BTEUP syllabus?
Yes. The units follow the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus. If your polytechnic follows a different board or a revised scheme, the centre teaches your own syllabus.
