“…In the present curricula, various numerical techniques have been introduced for students to comprehend the subject matter of electromagnetics [33]. Educational approaches utilizing various software [5,6,11,11,19] to simulate the practical industry scenarios are potentially effective to educate engineering students [24]. Simulations are able to provide a risk‐free learning and training environment for students to encounter a power system in which they make meaningful artefacts following guidance, or even trial‐and‐error by themselves.…”

An innovative current measurement method in power systems has attracted more attention from both the industry and academia. Nevertheless, students can feel challenged when assigned to learn new concepts with the currently already difficult engineering courses. Therefore, in this paper, a training platform is designed based on finite element analysis simulation and laboratory experiments. With this training platform, simple and effective simulations and experiments can be performed. In addition, extended applications of this training platform are presented such as design of the magnetic shielding structure, magnetic flux density visualization and calculation of overhead power lines. This design can help engineering students to better understand the application of electromagnetics and the novel current measurement research field.

“…When the three-phase alternating current system was found in 1895, general developments regarding the electric power system were completed [8][9][10]. In the following years, the development of electrical power system components and intermediate elements was to ensure a better quality transmission of energy [11][12][13]. Electric power systems captured their next biggest development with renewable energy sources and smart grid approach [14].…”

Python, which is widely used today, is one of the open-source programming languages. In the Python program, its interface is done through the PyQt5 library. With PyQt5, it is possible to develop object-based software that takes up less space on the disk and runs faster. In this study, an educational calculation and analysis program (ITUPSA) was designed for the Electric power systems course using the Python interface. Electric power systems are one of the fundamental courses in electrical engineering. This main course is taught in three sub-course groups as energy transmission-distribution, energy flow and energy economy. The energy transmission-distribution course package constitutes the first and most comprehensive part of the electric power systems group. In the energy transmission-distribution, the creation of the transmission line model and the calculation of the line parameters form an important part of the training. This section contains very detailed mathematical calculations and it is very important that students get the correct result as a result of these calculations. This can be possible with a lot of practice. The interface design was made by students and faculty to teach practical examples correctly. This developed (ITUPSA) python-based interface program is very suitable for calculation and analysis exercises in both undergraduate and graduate courses in the Electrical Engineering department. The purpose of this study is to create a python-based interface in order to solve the problems related to these lines, to make the types of short, medium and long power transmission lines correct and understandable. In the study, after selecting the type of energy transmission line and all parameters related to the line, the necessary mathematical analysis can be made and also the analysis results can be plotted. The analysis program is available in two languages, English and Turkish.

Current power systems are undergoing a rapid and complex transformation due to the integration of distributed generation. Load flow analysis is increasingly necessary to evaluate not only the operating point of the existing power system but also the design of future expansions. There are a wide variety of power system analysis packages used for load flow analysis. Of these, PowerFactory, one of the tools most widely used by network operators, is implemented for the present learning approach. In fact, one of the challenges for electric utility companies is the lack of experts who are familiar with this type of commercial tool. In the present work, several scenarios were defined and implemented using PowerFactory, covering common real‐life situations in power systems, such as the connection of a new line or a capacitor bank, or the installation of a renewable energy power plant. In this regard, the goal of the present teaching method was to complement the educational competences of power system engineers. As such, the proposed method was implemented in both an Electrical Engineering Degree course and a Master's Degree course in Industrial Engineering, where useful application feedback from students was obtained. Furthermore, the proposed approach is easily replicable for teaching/learning activities at other academic institutions.
