Finally, to facilitate the dissemination of information to other universities and institutions a page “For Professors” has been created. This page allows individuals to gather information directly from the team of faculty and students at MSOE that have been working on this project. Progress on Pedagogical Goals Student Involvement From the outset of the project an effort has been made to involve students in all aspects of the design and implementation of the microturbine. Three students, two mechanical and one electrical, coordinated activities for instrumentation and Website development in the first year. In the second year, one of these students has carried over, but two new students have been added. The transition from one team to the next has been smooth. Weekly meetings have kept all participants alert and up to date. The student teams have been invaluable in troubleshooting the project. They interface with all of the vendors, as well as the project stakeholders. The students in the first year of the project were undergraduates. The current year students are enrolled in the Masters in Engineering Program. The students are paid an hourly rate for time spent on the project. Although the work that they are doing is relevant to their graduate programs, to this point they have not received academic credit for their work on the project. They will be responsible for reporting the results of the project upon its completion. Electrical Engineering Goals Via the web, Electrical Engineering courses are now able to view power quality data for the interconnection of the microturbine to the building electrical system (from the Power Monitor II). Power Electronics classes can now view selected current and voltage waveforms for the high-speed ac bus and the dc bus. Power on the high-speed ac and dc bus is also available (all from the Yokogawa Power Meter). With these data available on- line, this facility is a great supplement to textbooks and computer simulations in the areas of power electronics and power system design and analysis. Recent world events have made the distributed generation of electricity one of the most important topics in the power system area. While traveling through Ohio in August of last year, one of the authors experienced first-hand the importance of back-up or auxiliary power generators. The cities along the turnpike were all without power, but the service centers had their own generators. While not as large as those units, this facility offers educators and students a detailed view of the workings of one of the most promising forms of distributed generation: a microturbine with a waste heat recover system. The microturbine in this system is equipped to operate in stand-alone mode. Stand-alone mode allows power generation when no power is available from the electric utility.
