has only been one knownshock incident and that occurred in 1989 before all of the authors, except Robertson, were on thefaculty and staff. Part of this success is attributed to devoting the first laboratory session eachsemester to electrical safety. Using a presentation developed by author DeWitt, the students areshown both real and dramatized electrical accidents, and aspects of electrical hazards and safetyare discussed in detail. Despite the emphasis on safety, however, there have been a number ofarcing incidents (probably once every three semesters on average) during the years. In Figure 1,there are two circles marked “a” and “b,” which resulted from energized leads contacting thegrounded cabinet. Close-ups of these are shown in Figure 3

The version 1 clicker has two LEDs(the two white dots above the A/1 key) thatindicate when the device is connected andsending. One issue that students complainedabout with these clickers was that they could hitthe wrong key and unknowingly send a wronganswer. That problem was addressed with theversion 2.0 clicker, shown at the right side ofFigure 2.

Perhaps the most important requirements of arenewable energy conversion laboratory are the following: a) comprehensive in scope butuncompromising in meeting educational needs; b) practical in emphasis and relevant toindustry; c) attractive to students and able to enhance their experiences in energyconversion; and d) flexible and modular in structure.2. System Configurations and OptimizationA single energy source system, e.g., a standalone solar energy system, or wind generatorcannot provide a continuous source of energy due to low availability during the no-sunperiod or lack of adequate wind. This implies that in order to achieve the high-energyavailability required in some applications

asynchronous squirrel-cage induction generator directly connected to the grid via a transformer. Since the squirrel-cage induction generator always draws reactive power from the grid, this configuration uses a capacitor bank for reactive power compensation. Type B: Limited variable speed wind turbine. This one uses a wound rotor generator with variable generator rotor resistance and pitch control, which allows for a speed range of up to 10% above the synchronous speed. Type C: Variable speed wind turbine with a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) and pitch control. This concept allows a wider range of dynamic speed control compared to Type B, depending on the size of the frequency converter. Type D: Variable speed and

In increasing orderof sophistication they are: a. Model as incompressible flow in a pipe, using steam density determined from turbine exhaust conditions b. Model as incompressible pipe flow, but account for compressibility by using steam density averaged between tube inlet (turbine exhaust) and tube exhaust conditions. This requires using the energy equation to determine the steam exhaust temperature, use of the steam tables, and a few cycles of iteration. c.
