“…These can even be students from another university, once proper arrangements and agreements are in place between the universities. Since protection relays can be tested remotely [12], a few remote PSP laboratories have been set up, such as those at the University of Adelaide, Australia [13], the Technical University of Catalonia, Spain [14] and the Polytechnic Institute of Setubal, Portugal [15]. Although students' learning experience with remote-access laboratories is educationally equivalent to that obtained in traditional laboratory activities, being physically present in the PSP laboratory to carry out experiments, discuss these with other students and with the laboratory supervisors is very important to students' learning experience [16].…”

Abstract-This paper presents several methods for motivating students taking a power system protection (PSP) course. The paper reviews the laboratory activities developed for the PSP course at Curtin University, Australia; these methods are applicable and can be used for PSP course instruction at any institution. These activities were developed to improve the learning experience of the electrical engineering undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled in this course. Initially, the PSP course at Curtin University consisted of lectures and tutorials accompanied by two sessions of software-based simulations and one session of laboratory demonstration. To motivate the students, several computer-based simulations and practical laboratory experiments were developed. PSCAD and ETAP power system analysis software tools are introduced and used to demonstrate the performance and coordination of different protection relays from steady-state and dynamic points of view. Also, a practical setup composed of a LabVolt power system simulator and industrial relays is used to carry out several practical experiments. The experiments help students observe the performance of protection systems for transformers and induction motors during faults and abnormal operating conditions. Finally, the concept of relay testing and commissioning is introduced by relay stand-alone experiments using a secondary injection relay test set. The results of these activities were evaluated according to the students' satisfaction, comments, total scores and interest in PSP.

“…Other hybrid systems tend to use software systems to simulate instruments, for visualization and animation and as interface to actual relaying equipment for testing. 6,7 Although it is well recognized that a hardware-based laboratory is most appropriate for educating future protection engineers, cost puts this out of reach for many EE programs. Where they exist they have substantially enhanced students' learning experience and better prepared them for industry.…”

At the 2007 National Science Foundation workshop on 'The Future Power Engineering Workforce' participants from US government, academia, and the private sector discussed the looming shortage of power engineering graduates to replace large numbers of projected retirees in the power engineering sector. The group identified the key drivers of this shortage and suggested a series of measures which, if implemented, would add to the ongoing renaissance in power engineering. Some of these measures have been adopted and reflected in the development of a power system protection lab at Penn State Harrisburg. With the support of local utility industry a new lab has been developed that integrates the latest devices and software in the electric utility industry into power systems courses. Instructional modules on key aspects of the new lab are developed to assist both the course instructor and future students enrolled in Power Systems Analysis courses. This paper outlines the facilitation and design process in the development of a modern power engineering laboratory.

“…Due to the internet-based platform, the students at almost all over the country can utilize the laboratory facilities in a university after proper arrangements and agreements are carried out among the universities. Since the protection relays can be tested remotely [7], a few remote PSP laboratories have been developed around the world such as the ones in University of Adelaide, Australia [8], Technical University of Catalonia, Spain [9] and Polytechnic Institute of Setubal, Portugal [10]. Although for some laboratories, the learning experience gained by the students is educationally equivalent to that obtained in traditional laboratory activities, presence of the students in the PSP lab and carrying out the experiments along with the relevant discussions among the students as well as between the students and the laboratory supervisors are highly important to improve the learning experience of the students [11].…”

Abstract-This paper presents a survey on the activities carried out to improve the learning experience of electrical engineering undergraduate students in power system protection unit in Curtin University, Australia. The unit was conducted initially based on lectures and tutorials where only two sessions on computer simulation and one session of laboratory demonstration were conducted. In academic year of 2013, to improve the learning experience of students, several computer-based simulations and laboratory experiments were prepared. The students are introduced with two power system analysis software, namely ETAP and PSCAD/EMTDC which are used to demonstrate the overcurrent relays performance and their coordination as well as the time transient analysis of different faults in an electric network where some protection relays are applied. A practical setup composed of LabVolt electrical modules and SEL relays is used to simulate an electric network. Several tests are built up to simulate fault and protection layout for transformer and induction motor. Finally, a secondary injection test set is used to introduce the concepts of relay testing and commissioning.
