Abstract

Multi-Institutional Smart Grid LaboratoryRecent years saw an unprecedented growth of awareness in aging utilities infrastructure andworkforce. Significant Government and industry funding is being targeted towardsimplementation of Smart Grid as well as other activities to modernize existing electric powersystem. These efforts are critical to achieving renewable energy development, electric vehicleadoption, and energy efficiency improvements. Existing skills shortage and aging workforce inpower industry makes it critical to reinvent commitment to training of current workforce andeducating new cadre of power engineering professionals.Such education and training requires cooperation of constituents including academia, powerutilities, and manufacturers of electrical equipment.Smart Grid laboratory had been established at .....as a collaborative effort of two academicinstitutions (... and ...).Laboratory is equipped with state-of the art equipment and is serving as a teaching tool forundergraduates and research lab for graduate students.This paper addresses development of the lab, describes curriculum areas affected, and elaborateson multiple activities engaging students in active learning and research.
