Abstract :
A description is given of a modern laboratory for power system engineering being developed at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State Univ. Some of the considerations that have gone into designing the laboratory are summarized. These include: phenomena for simulation; simulation techniques; role of physical models; system size needed; transmission modeling techniques; transformer modeling techniques; machine modeling techniques; instrumentation, protection, and control; and scale factors.
