“…The strategy that we propose in this work is to use the kit to help guide the The use of hands-on kits and platforms on which educational experiments are conducted has been continually evolving over the recent years [28,29,30,31,32,33]. Examples vary from a buck converter to drive an electric motor of a solar model car [30], to a reconfigurable educational platform for fast experimentation with different power converter topologies [29], to an educational system for controlling power electronics systems with digital signal controllers (DSCs) [34], among others.…”

Power monitoring is needed in most electrical systems, and is crucial for ensuring reliability in everything from industrial and telecom applications, to automotive and consumer electronics. Power monitoring of integrated circuits (ICs) is also essential, as today ICs exist in most electrical and electronic systems, in a vast range of applications. Many ICs, including power ICs, have functional blocks across the chip that are used for different purposes. Measuring circuit block currents in both analog and digital ICs is important in a wide range of applications, including power management as well as IC testing and fault detection and analysis. For example, the presence of different kinds of faults in IC circuit blocks during IC fabrication causes the currents flowing through these circuit blocks to change from the expected values. There has been general interest in monitoring currents through different circuit blocks in an attempt to identify the location and type of the faults. Previous works on nonintrusive load monitoring as well as on power-line communications (PLCs) provide motivation for the work presented here. The techniques are extended and used to develop a new method for power monitoring in ICs. Most solutions to the challenge of measuring currents in different circuit blocks of the IC involve adding circuitry that is both costly and power consuming. In this work, a new method is proposed to enable individual measurement of current consumed in each circuit block within an IC while adding negligible area and power overhead. This method works by encoding the individual current signatures in the main supply current of the IC, which can then be sensed and sampled off-chip, and then disaggregated through signal processing. A demonstration of this power monitoring scheme is given on a modular discrete platform that is implemented based on the UC3842 current-mode controller IC, which can also be used for educational purposes.

“…A System on Programmable Chip (SoPC) arquitecture based on the softcore processor MicroBlaze (MB) from Xilinx has been implemented [18], [19]. The control system consist therefore of the processor system plus a set of peripherals which are connected to MB through the Processor Local Bus (PLB) [20]. The control system is therefore divided into two platforms: Hardware platform, and Software platform.…”

The adaptation of the Spanish university system to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) demands a methodological transformation. The classical Spanish system has to move away from teacher-focused methodology towards student-focused learning, in which students adopt an active role in their education, making emphasis on hands-on experiences. In order to meet the EHEA guidelines, an educational innovation project has been started in the Master in Electronic Engineering offered at the University of Zaragoza. The aim of this project is to reinforce the coordination and collaboration between the Master subjects by means of a multidisciplinary practical work based on a real system. The educational innovation project proposes a hands-on test bench based in a domestic induction heating cooker, which can be implemented in modular form. Each course focuses on the design of a specific part of the whole system, taking into account that in a final project, all the modules have to operate together to implement the complete system.

“…The traditional training platforms usually focus on the improvement in processor , peripheral circuits , towing test, multi-function and so on. However, few on-site training platforms for power system workers are developed [1][2][3][4][5][6]. In this paper, a dynamic reactive power compensation training system is established to help power grid employee learn the operation merits of STATCOM devices.Via the training course,the trainee begin to be familiar with the principle and manipulation methods of STATCOM ,as well as other typical power electronics devices used in compensation occasions.…”

This paper presents a training system based on low-voltage cascaded PWM STATCOM.It is intended to train the employee in power grid companies.The system is characterized by load disturbance in 380-V power grid and imaginary power compensation of transformerless cascade PWM STATCOM with star-configuration. A two-hierarchy DC voltage balance strategy is adopted to stabilize the H-bridge capacitors in the compensation procedure. Simulation and experimental waveform indicate that a 380V-20kvar cascade STATCOM with star-configuration compensate the the imaginary power shortage within 20ms.
