Integration of Measurement and Simulation in Power Electronics Laboratory

The paper presents integrative approach for educational power electronics laboratory, where measurements and simulations are equally used in laboratory exercises. Hardware and software part of laboratory are described, with typical examples deeply explained. Te best properties of measurement and simulation are used to reach final goal - better understanding of power electronic circuit behavior. Proper balance between measurement and simulation is the key for interesting and useful laboratory exercises. First results are promising, students evaluation of described laboratory is very good.
