ABSTRACT: This paper is an extension of the authors' previous works in the area of field programmable analog arrays (FPAA). It presents the design, construction, and testing of an FPAA-based hardware prototype to emulate the dynamic behavior of a basic power system generator. The programmable nature of the FPAA is key - significantly reducing the effort and time required to develop a working prototype and VLSI design.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a distribution power flow experiment for use in outreach education. The work was adapted from an existing power flow experiment by Yang et al. to target non-engineers with diverse educational backgrounds. Critical educational outcomes were identified. An iterative design process was developed to build the experiment. Subsequently, new laboratory activities and interactive manuals were created. Assessment surveys were designed for evaluation purposes. Feedback results from 26 participants are presented.

ABSTRACT: This panel summary will discuss the integration of research on distribution automation and control techniques into power system curriculum. Specific examples of the classroom and laboratory module enhancements at Drexel University will be discussed. Lecture modules covering advanced techniques for improving distribution operating conditions will be presented. Classroom activities are coupled with hardware and software laboratory modules for students to test and validate techniques first-hand. In such a manner, research results have been channeled into educational materials and student assessment and evaluation of these materials have shown a high efficacy.

ABSTRACT: This paper examines how analog computation (emulation) may be utilized to perform dynamic power system analysis and the advantages of this method over digital - mainly solution accuracy and computation speed. Unlike the authors' previous works in this area which focus on the development of custom analog hardware prototypes and printed circuit (PC) boards, here the authors examine the utilization of field-programmable analog arrays (FPAA) for power system emulation. The programmable nature of the FPAA is key-significantly reducing the effort and time required to develop a working prototype and VLSI design.
