   Distance Laboratory for Programming Maximum Power Point Tracking of a Photovoltaic Module
By Pavol BAUER, Andreja ROJKO [View]
[Download]

Abstract: Due to the demand on trained professionals there are many initiatives and programs pursuing continuing, lifelong renewable energy education. In this paper presented approach is built on providing web based education resources for self-education or on-the-job training from renewable energy. Nine comprehensive online learning modules have been developed, including the learning module on Solar Electricity, which is presented in details. An innovative element in Solar Electricity module is remotely accessible photovoltaic system, which allows execution of set of experiments, from measuring of electrical characteristics of solar cell to the deployment of users’ algorithms for optimum power point tracking. Design and realisation of remotely accessible photovoltaic system, possible remote experiments and their integration into the online learning module Solar Electricity are described.

   Fail-safe Modular Control Platform for Power Electronic Applications in R&D Environments
By Nicolas CHERIX, Philippe BARRADE, Alfred RUFER, Simon DELALAY [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper presents a modular control platform which is tailored for teaching and research applications.It aims at being entirely “student-proof” and features software-independent safety mechanisms,extensive signal conditioning and easy-to-use interfaces, dedicated to power electronics. A practicalexample with various HIL simulation results illustrates the attractiveness of the presented platform.

   Low Power Laboratory Setup for Education in Power Electronic Based Microgrids
By Bjarte HOFF, Waldemar SULKOWSKI [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper presents a compact low-cost modular laboratory setup based on three-phase voltage source inverters for use in microgrid teaching. Such setups are important to give students practical knowledge in addition to theory and simulations. Often, laboratory setups are built with high voltage and/or current where supervision is required during lab exercises. This setup enables students performing microgrid experiments with safe voltage and current levels, where the modular setup enables easy replacement for faulty converters. A prototype converter has been built to verify the setup with experiments.
