New Resources for Undergraduate Power Systems Laboratory

Development of the smart grid and renewable energy generation has been substantially changing the undergraduate education in fundamental power systems.Many new programs in power systems engineering are focused on cross-disciplinary for students not only in traditional electrical engineering, but also in non-electrical engineering, such as computer and information sciences, telecommunication and systems engineering.It is a challenge for these new programs to provide laboratory training of undergraduate students because of the restrictions of physical experimental resources in a power systems laboratory.This paper discusses the new resources for undergraduate power systems laboratories by including the big data generated from smart grids and online information and data of power grid operation.
