Abstract

The primary goal of the project is to develop a fault analysis experiment which allows students to examine the effect of fault conditions on a power system in a realistic manner. This experiment is the first in a series of experiments to be implemented in Drexel University´s Interconnected Power Systems Laboratory (IPSL). The IPSL provides a real-life power system network and a computer interface to the system in order to provide control and data capturing. The computer interface utilizes client/server and industry standard networking technology to help students visualize power system phenomena as seen by the system operator via an energy management system (EMS)
