Summary: The learning of Electrical Power Systems (EPS) is mandatory for technical and college students in the electrical area. Their study is directly related to the students experience with the technologies used in this area, an understanding that requires practical classes. However, due to cost, size and/or system access, it is difficult to provide this field experience. This understanding can be obtained through the use of computer simulators. Tools that allow the creation of various operating conditions of a real system. Unfortunately, when
these platforms are open-source, they have no user-friendly interface and freedom of assembly. While private platforms have a high acquisition cost and focus on application rather than teaching. In this scenario, the Knowledge Virtual Academy (KVA) has been developed to allow adequate simulation of these electrical systems. In order to meet the easily accessible proposal, the tool operates online, in a teaching-oriented interface and allows the recursive calculation of the Power Flow (PF), by optimization, and the Short Circuit (SC). The developed platform uses the mathematical modeling tool AMPL, with
IPOPT solver, to solve the FP and iteration in C ++ for the CC; while the virtual interface was implemented in Python, but it is not the focus of this work. The assertiveness of the values obtained by the platform occurs through the simulation of examples present in textbooks. These are available in the tool and will be evaluation parameters with the adherence report, which users can fill out to give their opinion about the program. The virtual access occurs at www.kvaflow.com, WHERE the evolution of the tool can be monitored. The platform can be used in the disciplines involving SEP, by students and
teachers and as a basis for undergraduate projects.
