An educational simulation tool for power system control and stability

This paper presents a Simulink-based educational tool developed for the purpose of illustrating power system control and stability notions as well as introducing students to realistic, though tractable in size, design problems. Relevant courses are taught to last-year undergraduate as well as graduate students at the University of Lie`ge, Belgium, and the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. After a brief description of the corresponding curricula, the paper describes the simulation tool and gives examples of problems and assignments given to the students.
