Abstract :
This panel presentation will focus on our latest efforts in developing and disseminating interactive lessons for pre-university power engineering education. The focus of our most recent work has been on two concepts that are becoming increasingly important in power system operations - wind integration and time-of-use pricing - and are likely to become even more important over the next several decades. We will provide both a detailed description and a demonstration of the new materials and discuss the major concepts addressed within each. In addition, we will provide an overview of our dissemination activities and topics we would like to explore in the future.
