This paper proposes an enhanced approach for the power engineering course, as part of the undergraduate electrical engineering curriculum, using the PowerWorld power system simulator. In order to assist students' better understanding of complex phenomena in power systems, steady-state power system analysis using the advanced visualization techniques was performed. The visualization techniques helped students better understand the power system analysis problems as a supplement to traditional lectures. This paper introduces such advanced power system visualization techniques as animation, 3-D display, contouring of power flows and map data projections. Those techniques were applied in the power system course (ELEG 3163) of the electrical engineering department at Arkansas Tech University. Students' outcomes and evaluation of this class supported the learning effectiveness of this course.
