A Study on the Educational Utilization of Power System Analysis Programs

The purpose of this study was to explore strategies for the educational use of power system analysis programs. To this end, major power system analysis programs (such as PSS/E, ETAP, PowerWorld, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSCAD, and Matpower) were compared and analyzed based on key content required in power system education. Based on this analysis, the study proposed learner-centered educational strategies, including the applicability of these programs to curriculum design, instructional approaches tailored to learners, and effective evaluation and feedback methods. The main conclusions are as follows: First, power system analysis programs vary in their features, user-friendliness, educational suitability, applicability to industry and research, and accessibility. Second, these diverse programs support a shift away from theory-centered education by enabling hands-on and simulation-based learning, which in turn enhances students' conceptual understanding, problem-solving abilities, and practical adaptability. Third, effective power system education can be achieved by applying these programs in a phased manner according to learners’ levels and by diversifying evaluation and feedback systems during curriculum design.
