PELE 4.0 - Power Electronics Experiments: Towards Laboratory Tools for Teaching-Learning Improvement

Abstract

This works aims to introduce the Education 4.0 concept within real-time power electronics experiments. Indeed, the emergence of Industry 4.0 requires that laboratory education also boost up the current education approach to the so called education 4.0. In this way, the authors try to associate new features in the laboratory experiments. Among them: i) Internet of things (IoT) based unit, ii) Augmented reality unit, and iii) real-time oscilloscope (remote/local) unit. Additionally, the reuse of electronic junk provide the possibility for limited universities or technical institutes to save the cost to acquire new educational kits in power electronics. Some experiments with those features are presented and briefly discussed.
