Abstract

This paper presents the design of a curriculum and the associated hardware for the laboratory component of an introductory power engineering technology course for sophomore students. The content was developed to implement a systems approach that uses the modern electric power network as an interconnected system to be designed, analyzed, and tested. The major hardware components of the electrical power system are studied and analyzed in individual laboratory experiments. By the end of the semester, students have integrated them together to create a working micro-grid.
