A real time ac power system simulation laboratory has been developed. The laboratory gives students the opportunity to witness first hand how a large power system behaves. It can simulate scenarios to demonstrate system disturbances of various types, and proper recovery actions. Researchers also use the laboratory to study power system control methods, effects of various models and algorithms in the simulation, the effectiveness of full graphic displays and computer communication methods. This article provides an overview of the laboratory. The computational environment is presented. A demonstration of this system follows, including relieving an overloaded transformer or line.
