Power Systems Experience Center (PSEC)

Full Scale Power System Live power to show real power

system problems and solutions

Purpose: Demonstrate power quality issues

and solutions in real situations

Educate and assist end users with equipment selection

Clarify misinformation in the marketplace

R&D/Equipment testing

Fish Tank Demonstration

Open Partially Open Closed

Restrictive Flow ValvePump runs constantly at 100%

Gravity Storage TankPump at 100% for about ½ the time

VS.

VS.

Variable Frequency DrivePump at only ~50% to match flow rate

Fish Tank Demonstration

Purpose: VFD Efficiency Use water flow visualization to show

VFD efficiency

Problem: Outdated demonstration Algae build up in tubes Old version of Panelmate Touchscreen Outdated operations manual

Goal: Upgrade the demonstration Allow water drainage and tube cleaning Replace touchscreen Create new operations manual

7 7

Fish Tank Demonstration

Execution Replaced all old tubes

Added faucets for draining and tee’s for cleaning

Added new XP503 touchscreen

Created detailed operations manual including procedure and troubleshooting

Surge Generator

Background: Senior Design Senior Design project through Pitt Designed for new Pitt Power Lab

Purpose Demonstrate danger of surge events Show how surge protector will guard

loads downstream Design surge generator for fraction of

cost

Problem: No enclosure Open generator draws safety concerns Large – difficult for transportation

Surge Generator

Goal: Enclose surge generator Safe – insulated material Smaller and easier for transport Visually appealing

Execution Rebuilt generator in two-level fashion Re-wired in simpler layout Enclose in wooden box for transport

Cost Savings

Manufacturer Price$35,000 PSEC Price$5,247

Cost Saved$29,753
