In this paper simulation of power electronics and electrical drives is discussed. First the standard demands for a simulation packaged are given and second the extra demands for educational use are discussed. Important demands for education are visualization of the simulation results as well as an open interface to exchange data from one simulation package to another simulation package.

The computer simulation and animation often enrich modern education in the field of power electronics and electrical drive systems. These modern tools can bring great benefit for fuller understanding of special effects and characteristics of power electronic circuit. Animation during the simulation opens up a new area for the power electronics design engineer. During the animation, can be seen the level of the node-voltages, the level of the branch currents or current path in the circuit. This paper brings some practical results of research devoted to the strong and weak features of education by PC.

At department of Control Technologies of KTU in order to provide the state of the art courses and laboratories in control technologies, it has been need to renovate and to modernise the Electric Drives Laboratory. This paper describes the modernisation way of the electric drive lab and compares the training potential of the new lab with former one.
