Integrated Laboratory of Power Electronics, Adjustable Speed Drives and Harmonic Filter & Compensator Design

工程-电气（55）该项目正在开发一个综合实验室，以支持电力电子，可调电力驱动器，谐波滤波器和补偿器的课程，通过改编明尼苏达大学全国知名项目开发的实验室材料。 此外，研究人员正在进行新的实验，开发仪器计算机控制界面，并采用因特网工具，以便远程访问实验室的某些功能。 最后，他们正在创建一个新的课程谐波滤波器和补偿器的设计。 评估过程将使用学生产品的评估和自我评估调查，以描述学生学习成果的变化，从而为这个实验室的经验。PI计划通过广泛参与的全国电力电子和电力驱动教学讲习班传播他们的经验。

Engineering - Electrical (55)This project is developing an integrated laboratory to support courses on power electronics, adjustable electric drives, and harmonic filters and compensators by adapting laboratory material developed by a nationally prominent program at the University of Minnesota. In addition, the investigators are introducing new experiments, developing interfaces for computer control of the instruments, and introducing Internet tools for distant access to some features of the laboratory. Finally, they are creating a new course on harmonic filters and compensators design. The evaluation process will use an evaluation of student products and a self-assessment survey to characterize changes in student leaning outcomes resulting for this laboratory experience. The PIs' plan to disseminate their experiences through the widely attended, national workshop on teaching power electronics and electric drives.
