A Distribution Power Flow Experiment for Outreach Education

This paper presents a distribution power flow experiment for use in outreach education. The work was adapted from an existing power flow experiment by Yang et al. to target non-engineers with diverse educational backgrounds. Critical educational outcomes were identified. An iterative design process was developed to build the experiment. Subsequently, new laboratory activities and interactive manuals were created. Assessment surveys were designed for evaluation purposes. Feedback results from 26 participants are presented.
