University of Bridgeport. In order to have hands-onexperience, a laboratory is necessary for our engineering students with their interest in thesustainable energy as well as smart grid. A course, Sustainable Energy Laboratory, was proposedby the school’s curriculum committed and it is offered in the Spring semester, 2011. In thiscourse, a series of experiments are designed on the operating and testing of solar panels, windturbine, fuel cell. Moreover, experiments on power electronics and data acquisition aredeveloped to optimize the utilization of different energy sources. Finally, simulation on smartgrid power system and hybrid power system will help the students understand the challenges inthe use of sustainable energy resources
