System
The increasing share of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics and wind turbines in power generation in combination with conventional power plants requires a completely new (intelligent or "smart") grid management.
The LEYBOLD STE "Smart Grid" provides demonstrative experiments on this topic:
Operation of the conventional power grid, problems with the integration of renewable energies and the operation of "smart" solutions.
Selected experiments:
- Power output of a photovoltaic system at different levels of cloud cover during the day
- Powering a building with a fast-reacting power plant and a distributed photovoltaic system
- Simulation of an off-grid system with energy storage
- Smart Grid one day simulation
The WinFACT software combined with a CASSY measurement interface provides a SCADA environment.
