“…Not considering teaching tools for under and graduate studies, there are several topics that are in the front line to be addressed by interactive 'on-line' long life education courses. For example, one can consider cyberphysical systems [47], grid protection [48], power quality [49][50][51], induction machine fault detection and diagnosis [52,53], industrial electronics [54][55][56], or analog electronics [57]. The later work considers mlearning combined with competitive gamification, thus increasing the attractiveness of the learning process in a long life paradigm.…”

This paper describes an innovative laboratory for students in Electrical Engineering courses, which is recently established at the Energy Department of Politecnico di Torino, Italy. The main peculiarities of the lab are the high ICT content of each test rig, the multidisciplinary experiences, and the handson teaching methodology, allowing the student to have access in overall safety to many complex electrical / electromechanical systems. Currently, eight courses of Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in electrical engineering carry out in-class exercises and hands-on experiments in the new lab, serving over 200 students in total per year. The innovative lab also allows for external collaborations with companies and institutions for specific (and in some cases permanent) training offers, like a oneday per month LabVIEW course for faculty and staff members of Politecnico di Torino.

“…Several computer‐based simulations and practical laboratory experiments were developed in ; PSCAD and ETAP power system analysis software tools were introduced to demonstrate the performance and coordination of different protection relays using a universal relay test set. Fortunato employed a laboratory using the SIEMENS–SIPROTEC 7SJ64 to motivate and improve the study of distribution networks protection with the help of Matlab® software.…”

In this work, virtual instrumentation based learning methodology is presented for teaching measurement and protection in power systems courses at the Faculty of Electromechanical Engineering of the University of Colima, Mexico. The proposed methodology uses the project‐based learning method for developing experience learning. The students develop the hardware which can be used with the conventional machinery laboratory equipment and it considers the necessary security aspects to provide students with safe studying conditions by avoiding the risk of hazards. Through the use of low‐cost voltage and current sensors, the variables of interest of the equipment under measurement and protection are reduced to suitable values for the data acquisition system (DAQ). The voltage and current signals are processed using the LabVIEW® environment and the algorithms for power metering and the most common relays are developed. Acting signals coming from the DAQ are interfaced with the electrical machines by appropriate contactors and which simulates the power switchgear. The implemented hardware and the algorithms developed, allow students to measure the power consumption of conventional loads and to reproduce the most used relays by the electrical industry. This proposal represents an alternative to the high costs of didactic equipment. Finally, a survey provides a good insight of how the application of virtual instrumentation in the teaching process impacts the development of professional skills in the ambit of measurement and protection of power systems.
