Difference between Electrical engineering and Power station

Electrical engineering vs. Power station

Electrical engineering is a professional engineering discipline that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. A power station, also referred to as a power plant or powerhouse and sometimes generating station or generating plant, is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power.

Similarities between Electrical engineering and Power station

Electrical engineering and Power station have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Electric current, Electric generator, Electric power, Electrical conductor, Electricity, Electricity generation, George Westinghouse, Steam turbine, Thomas Edison, War of the currents.
