Using Python programming to automate power system studies(load case, modify case, impose disturbances, run simulations, clear disturbances, runsimulations, write results to a file, etc.) is illustrated. PSS/E provides a comprehensive set ofprogramming interfaces between Python environment and PSS/E functions. Selected sets ofessential functions for case preparation, power flow, fault analysis, stability analysis, and resultsretrieval are covered, such as psspy.fnsl, fdns, natono, case, seqd, scmu, scinit, scdone, abusreal,busdat, scbus2, scbrn2, etc 3.

Mannequin wasdesigned to be completely compatible with any CAD packages that can read or write DXF files. Ourresearch showed that the problem of incompatibility between systems, as indicated by manyresearchers earlier, existed between these two as well. However, we were able to solve most of theproblems, and effectively integrate these two. This integrated ergonomic CAD system will providea powerful tool for the designer to test the functionality of the design for almost anything destined tobe used by humans.

An interesting observation is that severalstudents originally thought that incorporation of DAQ techniques would make their laboratoryexperience easier, but were quickly reminded by their peer team members that there was plenty ofwork to do.There are numerous positive aspects to inclusion of DAQ in lower division laboratory courses.From the students’ perspective, the greatest benefit is the redirecting of their time from relativelymindless data collection and hand recording followed by data entry (with the possibility of typingerrors generating invalid data/results) to focusing on understanding the experimental setup andmechanics concepts
