RY AREVA POWER SYSTEMS TEACHING LABORATORY With experiments ranging from the principles of basic

electromagnetism to the integration of renewable power

systems into the grid, the AREVA Power Systems Teaching

Laboratory in the UNC Charlotte Energy Production and

Infrastructure (EPIC) building provides students hands-on

learning tools that teach the many properties of electric

generation and use.

The 17 work stations in the lab include test benches to teach

power system components, transformers, protection, control,

SCADA, electronic motor drives, power electronics and

electrical machines. The hardware in the lab is from Lucas

Nülle and Feedback Systems. The main financial supporters of

the lab are AREVA and the State of North Carolina.
