Abstract |
E-learning with pre-solved animations can provide a
better understanding of the status and different network
options, compared to complex simulation or a set of equations.
In this paper, examples of such animations for e-learning of
different network options in a centralized or distributed power
system are presented. Power electronics based compensators are
introduced in the form of a new web-based, software learning
tool. Power flow congestion and the impact of power electronic
compensators on the system, including detailed operations of
power electronic based compensators are presented. These
compensators include SVCs, Active Filters, DVRs and electronic
tap changers. Using these animated tools, both system level and
component level operation of these devices is clearly shown. |
