| Abstract |
The paper presents the concept of virtual laboratory for power electronics. Virtuality of presented laboratory consists of integration of measured results on real power electronic circuit with virtual experiments based on SIMPLORER simulation models. Measured results are stored in data base to be retrieved as requested. Virtual laboratory uses video equipment, hardware and software. On selected examples (SCR line converter, H-bridge universal converter) some most interesting possibilities of virtual laboratory are illustrated. In virtual experiments all parameters of power electronics circuit and components are easily changed, as opposed to real circuit. If simulated results are fulfilled with measured results, virtual experiment is closer to real experiment. Powerful possibility of virtual laboratory is also capability of real-time streaming of laboratory experiments, useful for institution with undeveloped laboratory facilities. |
