I have the power! (Gulchers in Electrical Power Production)
In the Introductions today was a brief exchange between DaveTarver and jbrenner. As a technical writer, I have had the opportunity to work on a project for American Electric Power. To come up to speed on that, I got a college textbook on electrical power production just to get my head into the concepts and vocabulary.
It would not be surprising to find a few real electrical engineers here, plus a few with hard-won hands-on experience of their own.

I mentioned the work for American Electric Power. My tasks were more managerial, just to document accounting procedures for the regulators (governments, not components). But I found the physics of public utilities pretty interesting. I mistakenly kept it in my mind in the Thomas Edison context and was surprised at the discussions of "fields" and other topics from modern physics.
