A T&D infrastructure supplies electricity to power substations and then to electric utility transformers, which deliver electricity to industrial and domestic consumers.Components such as transmission lines, power substations, power cables, switchgear and control gears, and power transformers are widely used in power grids or electricity distribution systems. Therefore, they make primary building blocks in a T&D infrastructure.In Europe, the investment in T&D equipment will likely rise due to the increase in aggressive renewable energy mandates by the EU. The wind power generation,especially from offshore wind turbine installations in the North Sea, represents the

largest consumption of renewable energy. Such projects require different types of T&D equipment, including switchgear and control gears, power cables, power transformers,and distribution transformers. On the other hand, offshore wind projects are HVDC transmission lines, which use energy-efficient and specialized transformers and advanced switchgear.

Soft skills can be broadly categorized into three segments: character, interpersonal skills, and critical and creative thinking.
