Thesis (Masters Diploma (Technology)--Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 1993 === The research objectives were to: Formulate a training structure covering conventional power systems topics; Research existing PC based power systems software resources; Develop a structure for a PC based power systems course; Research the capabilities of the software resources chosen; Develop a structure for a modern PC based power systems course taking into account the capabilities and limitations of the selected software programs; Develop for the PC based power systems course, task orientated computer based laboratory set-ups. The set-ups provide: An introduction into the topics concerned; An explanation of the usage of each program applied, where usage means an explanation of the Input and Output Data of each program; User friendly simulation experiments. These set-ups, together with software programs and a personal computer integrate into a training programme and realize a power systems simulation course.
