Individualexercises typically incorporate either software or hardware, sometimes both in tandem. Thispaper presents an analog power system emulator as a new tool to enhance traditionalhardware/software power system laboratories. This emulator exhibits some advantages whencompared to conventional hardware/software tools.Hardware laboratories are expensive and time consuming to operate as compared to softwareexercises. As a result, hardware laboratories are usually relegated to studying individualcomponents
