This lab provides students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with power equipment such as rotating electrical machinery (DC and three phase AC generators and motors) and power transformers. In this lab, students learn how to use detailed wiring diagrams to connect electric machines with power sources, loads, and meters to perform many different types of tests and experiments that demonstrate the operational and loading characteristics of electric machine systems.

 The Lab is based on a FPGA based Processor from Opal-RT Techonolgy integrated to the National Instrument Hardware platform, NI cRIO-9068 and miRIO for real-time HIL simulation and testing of Power Electronic Converters. The lab provides students out of the box courseware on power electronics circuits. Students are able to simulate in real time basic DC-DC, DC-AC converters, AC-DC rectifiers, using National Instruments hardware platform (compactRIO and MyRIO), National Instruments LabView software and the adds-on Power Electronics Software provided by OPAL-RT. It also includes an external controller, inside MyRIO for Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation.

Variable Speed Drives Laboratory
