सवाल

Are power plant economics numericals included?

Yes. Load factor, plant capacity factor, cost and hydro / wind power problems are solved.

Is renewable energy covered?

Yes. Solar, wind, biomass and other renewable plants form a full 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.
