INTRODUCTION Teaching of power elecronics is commonly accomplished by means of lecures, problem solving, circui simulaion, and laboraory aciviies [1]. Thus, he mehodology for eaching power elecronics is no differen han he widespread analog elecronics eaching approaches [2, 3]. In boh conexs, some phenomena concerning he operaion of power elecronics componens are discerned only by means of laboraory experimens, which reinforce he imporance of hands-on aciviies for elecronics learning [1 5]. Throughou he world, effors have been made in order o spark he ineres of sudens o hemes relaed o power elecronics. Problem based approaches allow he inegraion of inerdisciplinary knowledge and learning of differen skills, and consiue an ineresing alernaive as discussed in [1 3, 6 8]. Besides problem based learning PBL), he use of remoe laboraories seems o sreamline he learning process of sudens, accompanied or no wih hands-on aciviies and circui simulaion [9 16]. Comparaive sudies beween remoe, virual, and hands-on laboraories applied in echnical areas are presened in [9 10]. In he same way, professors of he Deparmen of Elecronics a he Federal Insiue of Sana Caarina have been assessing sraegies o make educaion more aracive and dynamic. Some of he iniiaives o urn power elecronics more aracive o sudens are discussed in his work. Therefore, his work inends o inroduce he use of remoe laboraories for power elecronics eaching wih he aid of a ool called Virual Insrumen Sysem in Realiy VISIR) [12]. In our sudy, we show he assessmen of wo circuis wih small degree of difficuly eiher by sudens and by professors. Gusavo Ribeiro Alves, Manuel Carlos Felgueiras Deparmen of Elecrical Engineering Polyechnic of Poro School of Engineering Rua Dr. Anónio Bernardino de Almeida, Poro, Porugal This paper is organized as follows. We presen he challenges in eaching power elecronics in Secion II. In Secion III, we presen our proposal o inroduce VISIR in power elecronics classes. Secion IV describes he assessmen of VISIR by sudens and professors. Conclusions and suggesions for fuure work are presened in Secion V. II. TEACHING POWER ELECTRONICS Power elecronics is a mulidisciplinary area inside he elecrical engineering domain. Thus, eaching of power elecronics implies, for he eacher, knowledge of diverse fields, among which elecrical circuis, magneic elemens, power sysems, signal processing, and conrol sysems [19, 20]. On his basis, disciplines relaed o power elecronics are placed a he end of elecronics courses. In his conex, he eaching of power elecronics is a he same ime rewarding and challenging, since he sudens have already accumulaed knowledge o develop more comprehensive and deeper sudies. On he oher hand, a he end of a four or five-year course, sudens have acquired mauriy o discern beween convenional sraegies and inspiring eaching approaches. Many research groups in power elecronics have conduced sudies and aemps o make he eaching of his subjec more aracive and dynamic for sudens a he end of he course or even for freshmen [1 3, 8, 17]. Over he years, we carried ou various aemps o improve he eaching of power elecronics for elecronics echnicians. Noe ha, in his level of formal educaion, sudens are eenagers and power elecronics is a he final phase of he course. Our firs inspiraion was he solar climber [3], projec carried ou in he Power Elecronic Sysems Laboraory of ETH Zurich Fig. 1). Their plan comprises a phoovolaic panel, power saic converers, and moors, allowing he inegraion beween he energy source, he load, and he processing circuiry. In his regard, our firs aemp o he final erm projec of power elecronics was an elecric car, based on a oy vehicle plaform Fig. 2), commercially available. This projec was carried ou in The main goal was o apply phoovolaic cells o sore energy in ulra capaciors, emulaing a recharge saion, and hen perform a race wih he cars, emphasizing he opimizaion of energy processing circuis saic converers). Over he following semesers, he proposals were modified o ease he developmen of he projecs by sudens. Fig. 3 shows one projec using he Arduino plaform [21] conneced
2 o elecronic circuis for energy processing and o drive a DC moor. Fig. 4 shows anoher projec wih Arduino, o conrol he brighness of a ligh bulb. Fig. 1. Solar Climber of ETH Zurich [3]. Fig. 2. Final erm projec employing oy cars. Fig. 5. Sudens using componens of he final erm projec for aciviies developed during he classes. Over he semesers in which he final erm projecs were carried ou from 2010 unil 2013), we noiced a higher degree of involvemen from sudens, and greaer inegraion of differen subjecs learned hroughou he semeser. Our conclusion is ha he use of a plaform like Arduino allowed faser and easier work by sudens, increasing moivaion, as well as enabled flexibiliy o applicaions in command and conrol of power elecronics circuis. The biannual organizaion of he projec aciviies allows he diluion of heoreical classes, simulaion aciviies, and hands-on experimens hroughou he semeser. Pracical aciviies, as shown in Fig. 5, le sudens increase heir problem solving experience. Afer our experience wih final erm projecs, we began o discuss how sudens could use es equipmens ouside he labs. Some research works [9 10, 24] discuss key poins regarding eaching of elecronics or oher echnical areas using compuer simulaions, on-sie lab aciviies, and remoe laboraories. Currenly, here is no consensus abou wha form is beer for eaching opics relaed o engineering. Fig. 3. Final erm projec wih Arduino and DC moor drive. The use of remoe laboraories are usually associaed o cos reducions of laboraories faciliies [17] or o make he experimens available a any ime and a any place [11 16]. This way, remoe labs become anoher ool o sreamline power elecronics eaching, joining o he lis of resources: heoreical classes, resoluion of exercises, simulaion of circuis, and on-sie laboraory aciviies. Virual Insrumen Sysem in Realiy VISIR) is discussed in [11 16] as a resource for carrying ou differen aciviies of a elecronics laboraory. These research works focus on general elecronics, addressing aciviies relaed o circui analysis, filers, and operaional amplifiers, among ohers. In [18], he use of VISIR is exended for differen applicaions, including circuis for power elecronics, as shown in Fig. 6. These circuis were implemened as par of he main plaform, i.e., hey are currenly no available for parner insiuions hrough sandard modules. Fig. 4. Final erm projec in which Arduino conrols he brighness of ligh bulbs. The circuis shown in Fig. 6 are: a) and b) second order filer; c) full wave recifier wih capaciive filer; d) linear
3 volage regulaor, and e) swiched regulaor. These circuis cover a broad range of opics sudied in power elecronics, from AC-DC converers o DC-DC converers, passive filers, and pulse-widh modulaion PWM), among ohers. Oher research works [22 24] also discuss power elecronics eaching, wih a focus on online simulaions and apples. An imporan comparaive sudy beween he main eaching echniques for power elecronics is shown in [24]. A ha ime 2002), auhors classified eaching ools ino he following ypes: Slideshow A sandard ool for eaching, in he mos diverse areas of knowledge and also in indusry. A pracical, easy, and flexible sysem. The passiveness of he suden is poined ou as a disadvanage as well as he fac ha usually slides are no prepared for selfsudy. Slideshows are adequae for presening conen quickly and in a focused manner. Slideshow wih movies, ex and audio The inclusion of mulimedia conen increases he possibiliy of using slideshows for self-sudy. Numerical Simulaion Compuer simulaions for circui design are commonplace boh in academia or in indusry. Numerical simulaions enable cos reducion, increase flexibiliy, and preven he risk of misakes made by sudens in real experimens. However, simulaions only become effecive ools for learning when associaed wih he familiariy wih physical elemens obained in lab aciviies. Web-Based Simulaion For an adminisraive poin of view, i is beer han convenional simulaion packages, since i dispenses he purchase of sofware, and usually permis operaion under differen operaing sysems. The dependency on a reliable inerne connecion, and he difficuly simulaion resuls are poined ou as disadvanages. Simulaion combined wih ex Here, i presens he conen direcly on he websie, incorporaing simulaions in Java, videos, exercises, among oher resources. Ineracive Animaions wih he ipes Auhors discuss a sysem developed and used a ETH Zurich, which has an emphasis on conen ineraciviy, reducing he focus on simulaion. I has as a main advanage he quick response, since sudens can change any parameer and examine he resul immediaely, because i operaes as an animaion and no as a simulaion. Flexibiliy is no a key poin; sudens mus follow exacly wha is expeced in a se of predeermined circuis. As a conclusion, any ool has advanages and disadvanages, and none of he previously shown can replace compleely he ohers. I is he main responsibiliy of professors and adminisraive saff ake ino accoun he characerisics of he conen, analyze he previous experience of sudens, and he environmen in which he suden is, o selec he bes opion. Especially in power elecronics, some opics are beer undersood during he experimenaion in he laboraory; for example, semiconducors under swiching operaion, he performance of elemens wih hea sinks, and he analysis of speed variaion of an engine. Oher conens may be exploied by numerical simulaion; for insance, modulaion circuis, signal filering and condiioning. Some issues require repeiion of exercises and circui modificaions o assure sudens undersand how elemens work. As an example, driver circuis for power ransisors. Finally, learning wih error is imporan in some opics, where sudens should hink how o obain he expeced resuls. For example, he generaion of command signals for ransisors from sinusoidal PWM modulaion requires his king of hinking. Thereby, his work proposes he inclusion of remoe lab aciviies o he usual oolbox for power elecronics eaching. This way, opics are inroduced wih heoreical lessons, and are advanced hrough exercises for fixing he conen, numerical simulaion of circuis, on-sie laboraory experimenaion and aciviies in remoe labs. Fig. 7 shows briefly hese differen seps for eaching elecronics and power elecronics. III. PROPOSAL OF A NEW METHODOLOGY Power elecronics circuis usually exhibi wo sages: energy processing, and signal processing. The energy processing sage consiss of passive componens and high volage and/or high curren power semiconducors. Signal processing circuis drive such power semiconducors, apply a closed-loop conrol for power converers, are responsible for sysem proecion, and operaion supervision [1]. Among signal processing circuis, circuis for measuring elecrical quaniies are usual in power elecronics applicaions. Moreover, passive filers and resisive neworks are commonly employed o reduce he ampliude of he signals under analysis [19 20]. Power circuis, on he oher hand, are usually classified in he following caegories: AC-DC, AC-AC, DC- DC, and DC-AC converers [19]. Among AC-DC converers, i is common pracice o begin he sudy by simpler circuis wih diodes and sinusoidal signals [19]. Afer a firs conac wih power semiconducor devices, sudens are inroduced o recifiers and filers by lecures. Pen and pencil exercises and sofware simulaions are he nex aciviies. The las sage is he pracical implemenaion, where sudens assemble he circuis on a breadboard and perform he measuremens. Remoe laboraories are a complemen here, giving he opporuniy o sudens repea he laboraory aciviies, reinforcing he knowledge acquired and exploring some advanced opics beer. The main conceps of he subjec being sudied will be addressed boh in he lecures, during he simulaions, and wih he laboraory classes. This way, sudens have hree disinc momens o absorb and o undersand he conens. The eaching mehodology for power elecronics proposed in his work have been implemened in hree sages. In he firs one, professors evaluae he mehodology, making some
4 experimens wih he remoe lab plaform VISIR. In he second sage, all proposed seps are developed, checking for improvemen poins and rying o predic some difficulies ha sudens could find in heir developmen. This validaion phase was implemened wih a pilo group of sudens in he beginning of This paper repors resuls from his wo phases, collecing opinions from professors and sudens. The final sage is he applicaion of his mehodology for differen classes of elecronics echnician sudens, hrough a cooperaive projec beween IFSC and he Poro Superior Insiue of Engineering ISEP).

EXPERIMENTS USING VISIR In his pilo sudy, he proposed experimens wih VISIR Virual Insrumen Sysem in Realiy) comprise wo simple circuis wih passive elemens resisors and capaciors). These circuis can be implemened using a gues accoun in he virual experimenaion environmen. Boh experimens require o measure an oupu volage considering a variaion of frequency in he inpu signal.

As he firs general conclusion, he inroducion of he remoe lab wih VISIR had a posiive effec. From professors' answers, we can infer ha: Users considered he implemenaion wih VISIR easy, wha is also expeced from sudens; Oherwise, from sudens' answers, we can infer ha: VISIR is an adequae choice for circui verificaion. However, sudens consider on-sie laboraory experimens indispensable; Sudens also poined ou he agreemen in resuls from VISIR and on-sie experimens. However, hey again sressed he imporance of hands-on experience; VISIR user inerface is considered enjoyable and easy o use. I is a good complemen o classes, and o reinforce some opics, mainly because one can access from home; As a general opinion, sudens hink remoe labs conribue o learning, bu canno subsiue on-sie laboraories. In shor, we can conclude ha VISIR has a good poenial of applicaion in some opics of elecronics, especially in power elecronics when combined wih radiional eaching.
8 V. CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORK The use of remoe laboraories o eaching has been promising, and seems o be an effecive way o spark suden's ineres. From our firs experience and from he lieraure, we can conclude ha remoe experimenaion plaforms like VISIR are very promising for elecronics eaching. Two simple experimens were done in his work using he gues accoun, wihou any modificaion in VISIR hardware. This way, he hree professors could be in he role of sudens, giving heir opinion abou he use of he plaform, as well as eigh sudens evaluaed he use of his new ool. Our users in his work professors and sudens) judged he poenial of remoe laboraories for elecronics as very high, combining differen sraegies like lecures, problem solving, simulaion, and experimens in sandard laboraories. This way, he effecive use of VISIR, even for simple circuis, allows sudens o reproduce experimens many imes, giving confidence and improving he success rae. Moreover, VISIR gives flexibiliy regarding he ime schedule and number of simulaneous users. Finally, we can conclude ha VISIR is appropriae for power elecronics eaching, firsly wih simple circuis like he ones presened here. Thus, sudens and professors can learn how o use he plaform, and, afer some ime, hey can develop more complex aciviies. In a fuure work, we plan o exend hese aciviies o a larger group of sudens and also o inroduce new circui opologies like modulaion circuis.
