I think power engineers use a great deal of [[control theory].-- Light current 23:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Motor Drive directs to a wrong subject
This section needs some serious work; we can have a See Also section, but it needs to be much smaller that that list; less important things need to be referred to in passing in the text, or removed completely, as a list this big is just a mess. We also need external references for the article – Gurch 13:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I made some correction for the component section for generation, transmission and distribution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001beibei ( talk • contribs) 13:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I think the title "Power engineering" is too wide. How about changing the title to "Power system network". 2001beibei ( talk) 21:02, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I don't know about anyone else here, but I myself am a Power Engineer in Canada. The scope of my job is the safe and efficient design, operation and maintenance of power generation and power transmission. Power being defined as mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, hydraulic, pneumatic power. There are four classes competance certifications 4th being entry level, 1st Class being top of the heap. Perhaps a subsection or a "see also" section titled the same? I've used Wikipedia lots, just haven't contributed much. I'm not much for writing encyclopedia quality entries, but if someone needed info, I can ramble on for a while if you can make sense and put it to print? Contact me if you wish smorgie77 at hotmail dot com - title it WIKIPEDIA INFO REQUIRED! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandman76 ( talk • contribs) 13:51, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
This is my first participation in editing Wikipedia, so not too sure on protocol. I believe I have discovered a discrepancy between the History segment of this page and that of the Power station article regarding the World's first power station. The Power engineering article states, "In 1881 two electricians built the world's first power station at Godalming in England.", whilst the Power station article claims, "The world's first power station was built by Sigmund Schuckert in the Bavaria town of Ettal and went into operation in 1878." Furthermore, the latter also goes on to say, "The first public power station was the Edison Electric Light Station, built in London at 57, Holborn Viaduct, which started operation in January 1882."
I've only just discovered this and have not looked into which page is correct and I am unsure on the proper procedure for editing articles, though i would be happy to do so. Leroy is brown ( talk) 01:42, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
I suspect that most people who click on this article title (people like me), are looking for information about being a Power Engineer (or a related discipline). Instead I got an article describing what a power plant is, and how electricity is moved around. Nothing about the discipline, just a bunch of {{ citation needed}} factoids about power generation and distribution. What do power engineers do? No idea, because that isn't what the article is about right now.
This article is too broad. It's like having an article titled "horned toad", and making the whole article variations on "this is what an animal is". No specific information, just super broad generalizations. This article needs to be heavily reworked. Right now it's almost unusable for the end reader.
A few useless - though not necessarily incorrect - factoids from the article:
Ok, that's enough. Almost every sentence in the article is pointless and could be removed. Those are just a few randomly chosen examples. As I said: needs a rework, badly. (Also, the introduction is ridiculously long!) — Gopher65 talk 02:53, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
