BRG316 - Power Systems Teaching Lab

Overview

The Power Systems Teaching Laboratory (PSTL) in the Bergeron Centre for Engineering Excellence building serves as a unique educational laboratory space with experiments ranging from the principles of electro-mechanical energy conversion to the integration of renewable power systems into the power grid. This laboratory provides a great learning environment for the Lassonde School of Engineering undergraduate students to develop hands-on skills and practical experience in various aspects related to power systems engineering.  

The PSTL laboratory is dedicated to the essential preparations of the workstations with the specified power circuit modules for the laboratory sessions. The PSTL lab workstations include test modules to teach fundamentals of power systems, electric machines, electric power transmission systems, power system protection, and real-time simulation of power systems. These workstations are easy to interconnect which enables to configure complete power system models with the generation, transmission, and distribution. The modular design approach of the PSTL equipment allows to design, implement and test different types of electric machines, power electronic circuits, and to study the behavior of distributed power networks for renewable energy applications.
