SESlab - Smart Energy Systems Laboratory
DESCRIPTION
The SESLab is a testbed to develop and test Smart Energy Systems (SES), a coordinated combination of distributed renewable generators, responsive loads, power processors, energy storage systems, information and communication systems, and hierarchical controllers based on advanced computational techniques. The SESLab is integrated into a modern university campus, where classrooms, labs, offices, and other facilities (library, cafeterias, restaurants, gym, EV chargers, …) are used by a living university community and fully monitored through a widely distributed SCADA system, which is accessible and interactive with the SESLab. Moreover, an on-roof PV plant (70 kWp) and other energy facilities can be accessed and controlled from the SESLab, where storage systems, active loads, and intelligent controllers interact with the gird according to the living university community needs.
