Overview

• The Lab-Volt Electric Power Transmission Training System consists of modular hardware and corresponding software that enables students to observe voltage regulation, real and reactive power flow control, and system stability.

  This system also makes it possible for students to observe electrical phenomena through the effects of voltage transients and power oscillations.
