USE OF VIRTUAL MEASURING DEVICES IN METROLOGY, ELECTRONICS AND ELECTRICAL MACHINES FOR THE TRAINING OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING SPECIALISTS

Abstract

The work shows that a promising direction for the modernization of the educational laboratory base is the use of open systems methods together with the introduction of technologies for the use of virtual devices, based on the use of computer measurement methods. The purpose of the work is to analyze the possibilities of creating virtual laboratory work in various disciplines and their use in professional training of specialists in electrical engineering in higher educational institutions. As a result of the analysis of the most well-known application computer packages intended for the design of electronic units, the authors found that the ability to model both the simplest electrical circuits and power electronics circuits and rather complex control circuits for them, as well as various electrical machines is the main advantage of the Simulink package of the MATLAB environment in comparison with other software tools. Examples of constructing circuits for virtual laboratory work in the metrology course are given. It is shown that virtual laboratory work increases students' interest in the learning process, as well as the level of their skills and abilities.
