and longer time since such power engineering courses were offered [36-48].We have also have to keep in mind that an upgrading of a power engineering laboratory is anexpensive enterprise and requires adequate laboratory facility, space and support. Recent powerindustry developments demonstrate that technical understanding of power systems, underscoredby hands-on laboratory experience, is even more important than some might have previouslythought. A versatile laboratory, providing coverage separately or in combination, became avaluable asset, which can be used for various experiments, while emphasizing on different facetsof power systems analysis, power electronics and control, machine characteristics or energyconversion concepts. While most of
