Praktikum 13: Smart Grids Lab (SGL)
This laboratory course offers hands-on experience with the testing and evaluation of modern electrical technologies, including regulating transformers, battery energy storage systems, electric vehicle charging stations, inverters and further electrical resources of modern power systems. By completing this module, students will gain practical skills in component- and system-level testing, measurement, data acquisition and component interoperability. Emphasis is placed on understanding physical behavior under real-world operating conditions, using modern tools for data acquisition and visualization, and conducting comprehensive performance assessments of integrated power systems.
Content
Through a series of guided experiments and project-based testing scenarios, students will:
- Design and implement test setups for component- and system-level validation
- Deploy advanced testing methods based on hardware-in-the-loop
- Use of modern instrumentation for accurate measurement of electrical parameters
- Apply software tools for real-time data acquisition, signal analysis and visualization
- Conduct testing and validation aligned with specific use cases and operational scenarios
- Analyze the dynamic performance and control characteristics of electrical apparatus
- Integrate electrical assets to enable coordinated operation and flexible management
- Implement automated control systems driven by real-time data and performance metrics
