Abstract :
This paper introduces an unified laboratory consisting of power systems, power electronics and energy conversions at Oklahoma State University-Tulsa. It presents more on digital data acquisition (DAQ), and virtual instrumentation (VI), the base of our unified lab. The general design of lab setup is described here, and unique designs of front panels and motor mount are discussed in detail. Some features of virtual instrumentation are shown with real-time phasor display of AC data and spectral analysis. We can also implement power system experiments as an added feature. It concludes with a proposal for introducing power electronics using our lab setup.
