Might as well learn these if you want to start your own cult/army in the post apocalypse.

This looks super old school. I'm sure a modern plant would have a lot of automation steps controlled by computer so that this wouldn't have to be done manually.

I had to take a power engineering class in undergrad as part of my EE degree. In one of the labs, we generated power with a motor driven from the university grid, coupled that to a generator, and plugged our power into the city grid.

We manually synchronized them, and even if you had it what looked like totally perfect, there was still a very loud THUMP as the city grid forced our generator into sync.

All of the labs in that class were terrifying, haha.
