group due to the low materials cost of the activity. This meant building eight kits perclassroom set. The team at Southern Illinois University chose a group size of 5 middle or highschool students per group due to the larger physical dimensions of their activity, which meantthat 4 kits were constructed per classroom set with an expected enrollment of approximately 20students per class. The size of the classroom set also reflected the need for the kits to be portable.Both sets of kits were sized to fit neatly into one or two large plastic totes. Each team created two classroom sets of equipment necessary to perform the labs. In lateApril, three weeks before the end of the semester, the full group held a second in-personmeeting. At this

inherent challenges must be explored. Meanwhile,renewable generation is typically placed in rural areas and the consumption, which is predictedto increase in the coming years, is concentrated in and around urban areas. The objective of thisproblem is to solve the challenges of renewables, namely the variability and their remotelocation. While improving the infrastructure might be necessary, it might not always beeconomically feasible or sufficient.Solution Requirements: • Safe and reliable • Economically feasible • Integrate an aggregation of distributed energy resources at a common coupling point in the transmission system • Reflect on the operation of a power system with high shares of variable and
