The package includes industrial-standard SCADA software, a computer and communications hardware.
It will also connect to optional Second Generator for supervision and control of embedded and central generation.
Supplies the software already installed on the high-specification computer.
The software does several jobs, including remote control and data display and logging.
All of the SCADA screens were designed by to augment the experiments provided.
The user interface shows real-time data from the hardware including: circuit breaker states, fault conditions and generator speeds, as well as the voltage, current and power at points throughout the system.
Students select the correct screen for the experiment they want to perform. The user is then able to use the software to close circuit-breakers and connect the grid supply.
Students can use the software to log data from the simulator and analyze it.
They can then compare conditions before and after faults, and see the effects of faults.
They can use this information to predict power system problems and change the power system protection to prevent future problems.
