Development Of An E Learning System And A Virtual Laboratory For Renewable Energy Sources

“…Students should be motivated to study and analyze these systems in more detail so as to become skilled in designing and component layout of such systems. Thereby, the interactive applets show real time simulations for several basic topologies with the flexibility to change the input system parameters and observe the real output waveforms correspondingly [7][8][9][10] .…”

“…This course is different from other renewable energy courses recently developed at other universities 2,3 , in that it is more broad based and covers the principle of operation of fuel cells and design principles of hybrid power systems. The topics covered include the need and benefits of AEDG, modeling of wind and PV power generation, energy storage devices, power electronic interfacing, and principle of operation of fuel cells as well as hydrogen production [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . The benefit of such broad coverage is to give the students a broad view of the various components of AEDG.…”

“…opportunities and interactive services in order for the visitors to remain close to new products and processes [4][5][6][7][8] . Information and communication technologies have had rapid development and thus they have opened up new opportunities for education including the setting and using of virtual laboratories 1-5, 21-24. Figure 1: Proposed wind/PV/fuel cell system…”

“…Our long term goal is to develop an integrated research facility in the area of renewable energy, RENSym platform [24][25][26][27][28]30,31 E-learning has the potential to attract anyone who is eager to remain close to new products and processes [1][2][3][5][6][7][8][9][10] . Virtual lab technology may also be used in a system aiming to replace physical machines with virtual machines on one host server.…”

“…Virtual lab technology may also be used in a system aiming to replace physical machines with virtual machines on one host server. They eliminate the limitation of physical appearance so that users are able to complete security exercises on the local operating system utilizing the client/server architecture [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]16 .…”
