Experimental analysis under laboratory conditions of the parallel connection of any local power station to an infinite bus can be expensive and complicated. In this study, such a connection has been modelled and simulated using the DELPHI packet program. The study focuses on immediately finding and solving problems which occur before and after connection. The visualisation capability of DELPHI makes the program useful for teaching at undergraduate level.
