Information Visualization Applied In Presenting Some Fundamental Power Systems Topics

Visualization methods are widely credited for simplifying presentation of difficult subjects as well as aiding cognition. Its use in the power engineering industry and education is enjoying significant growth. However, developing visualization systems for fundamental power system topics is a time-consuming task. This paper presents a series of student-created applications of visualization concepts in teaching a number of power system topics. The simple visualization schemes emanating from students’ perspectives serve to both aid understanding of concepts as well as enable the instructor to systematically integrate the valuable inputs into instruction delivery.
