Abstract :
This paper presents a unique facility capable of exhibiting the operation of modern day power system energy management systems (EMS). The purpose is educational with possible research applications. We present the design and construction of the laboratory facility. Key elements of the facility include a real-life, flexible power system network, signal conditioning hardware, data acquisition (DAQ) equipment, and client/server industry standard computer networking technology. The designed EMS system will allow students to get experience on the realistic operation and control of power systems and expose students to modern supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) equipment and procedures used by the power industry
