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Problem: Outdated demonstration Algae build up in tubes Old version of Panelmate Touchscreen Outdated operations manual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

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
![Page 9: Matthew Egan End of Assignment Presentation 3rd Rotation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58ef9dc51a28abfe668b4603/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

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
