Computer-Aided Instruction Laboratory for Power System Engineering Education

Power engineering students in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Wyoming are using a graphics- oriented software tool for education, research, and training in a new 486-based personal computer laboratory. The tool called COPERITE has all user interfaces, menus and windows, resident on the computers in the laboratory. The application programs are executed on a faster DEC 3100 workstation networked with the PCs through an ethernet transparent to the users of the graphical front-end. Students using this laboratory learn about power flow, power flow control, contingency analysis, economic dispatch, security-constrained dispatch, stability analysis, fault analysis, and electromagnetic transients analysis. The new facility: 1) allows learning network modeling through per unit representation on one-line diagrams; (2) provides a framework for studying the behavior of sample networks under steady state and transient conditions; (3) allows for control of a power system network for economy/security conditions; and (4) provides a means for applications of artificial intelligence to improve power system operations.
