Abstract :
This paper presents virtual Power Electronics laboratory based new approach for power electronics education with special attention to drives. This approach is based on computer modeling and simulation. MATLAB/Simulink is used in this paper to illustrate the application of computer modeling and simulation in power electronics education. This approach is student centered. Therefore, there will be active participation of students in the teaching-learning process. If this approach is used along with the traditional classroom teaching and laboratory work, it will create interest among the students and even complex topics can be effectively and efficiently learned by the students.
