Design of Real-Time Power System Simulator for Education using LabVIEW

As the technology is developing, the power system is also developing. Nowaday the power system operation has been complicated because of new technology development, new electric equipments and new operation method of the power system. As the electric equipments performance developing, the fault ratio of power system has been decreased. Therefore, new operation method is needed. More complicated the power system operation method, we need more the power system simulator to train and educate the novice power system operators. In this paper, we made real-time power system simulator using LabVIEW through the TCP/IP communication. With this simulator the instructor can simulate the trainee within various unpredicted cases that real power system could happen.
