A training laboratory about bifurcations and chaos in electrical power systems
An introductory laboratory about bifurcations and chaos in electrical power systems is proposed to students in final year of electrical engineering. They learn the basic principles of the related new theories on stability and realise simple circuits that exhibit puzzling effects like ferroresonance, subharmonics and chaos.
