Video Clips for the Laboratory in First Course on Power Systems

back


Purpose: The purpose of these video clips is to show the usage of various software programs in the laboratory for First Course on Power Systems.

 

Software: The software programs used are as follows:

1.      MATLAB/Simulink®: Many universities have a site license for this widely program; otherwise it can be acquired from www.mathworks.com.

2.      PowerWorld®: The educational version of PowerWorld can be downloaded free-of-charge from www.powerworld.com.

3.      PSCAD-EMTDC: The educational version of PSCAD-EMTDC can be downloaded free-of-charge from  http://pscad.com/.

 

Textbook: These video clips are based on the following Textbook: First Course on Power Systems by Ned Mohan, year 2006 edition, published by MNPERE (www.mnpere.com).

 

          Lab Manual: A revised pdf copy of the Power Systems Laboratory Manual can be downloaded here. The revised simulation files can also be downloaded here.
