The present paper addresses the speed control of a DC machine in the context of an advanced teaching lab consisting in setting up an islanded production unit. The different steps followed by the student to design and implement the speed control of the DC machine used in this islanded production unit are explained. A hardware specifically designed for this teaching and consisting of a DSP and an Analog to Digital (A/D) converter is presented. The major steps for the design of the PI (Proportional-Integral) regulator are recalled, whereas different improvement techniques such as the Anti-Reset Windup (ARW) or the set value corrector are presented in details. The corresponding code implemented in a DSP is given and detailed. Different tests performed on the test bench are then discussed mainly in terms of response time and overshoot.

“…There are some teaching based hardware setups described in literature but these focus primarily on renewable systems and ignore traditional generation with forms the back bone of the system [11] or have a flexible machine bed where different machines can be used but lack the number to make a representative grid system [12,13]. These may also be in a more traditional format of one machine type per experiment [14]. The setup proposed in this project can be used for both traditional taught laboratory experiments or used to within a more project based learning approach (PBL).…”

There is a growing trend within education establishments to teach electrical power system theory within lectures and back this up with software simulation laboratory sessions. This allows the courses to be taught at a lower cost than if real hardware was implemented. However, the students that are graduating from these programs are missing out on the opportunity to learn about real equipment and issues such as health and safety of voltages above 50V, mismatching component sizes and accuracy. Bespoke electrical power systems teaching equipment is expensive to buy. This paper details a low cost hardware setup that can be used to enforce electrical power system theory. The proposed equipment employs real off-the shelf equipment with some interfacing units which can be reproduced by laboratory technicians to enhance the student learning experience by offering students experience of real machines operating on an electrical power systems network.
