An Advanced Laboratory for Power System Control Education

This paper describes how a power system control laboratory is utilized for education at Chalmers University of Technology. The laboratory consists of a dynamic power system model in combination with a full-scale computerized control system. The main purpose of this laboratory is for research concerning new application functions, man-machine interaction as well as other subjects in the power system control field. Using this unique combination for education has led to a real breakthrough for education in this field. The laboratory is used in several courses at the university for teaching advanced application functions as well as methods for implementing such functions in a real-time control system.
