摘要：
The power system is the biggest man-made system in the world. But students' perception of power engineering is often an old technology, so that new ways to effectively enhance the students' motivations in this field are needed. This paper proposes an interactive virtual classroom by applying recently developed 3D CG technologies to the power system education, to build up the students' interest in this area. Some application examples are given to illustrate this virtual classroom. This system is suitable for the distance learning and training in the power system, and harbors the potential of arousing the students' interest in this area.
