Electric Lab
Electric Lab is one of a handful of dedicated laboratory facilities at the DTU campus in Lyngby related to the field of electric power engineering.
The Electric Lab consists of:
The purpose of Electric Lab is to offer a flexible and reconfigurable test bed for fundamental study, development and testing of component and systems relevant to the future electric power system anticipating a market based power system relying increasingly on distributed and intermittent resources.
Electric Lab constitutes a flexible and reconfigurable triple bus dedicated grid structure rated at up to 400V/200A per bus. The dedicated grid connects a number of resources with 15 lab cells suited for testing individual components or concerted testing of several components/units against each other. Each lab cell is fitted with a standard panel offering the following: access to the three buses including monitoring of basic in/out of 3-phase voltage/current and power for relevant connection; access to other basic resources such as water, natural gas, hydrogen, liquid nitrogen, forced cooling and pressurized air; access to high speed (Gbit/s) wired communication lines as well as wire less coverage.
Resources that may be connected to each lab cell are: a unique 600kVA 50/60Hz rotating generator; a 100kVA rotating generator; a variable frequency 150kVA 4-quadrant electronic power supply; a real time digital system (RTDS) with the option of connecting this with hardware in the loop and a powerful blade server configured with a platform for testing control architecture as well as control strategies.
The configuration of a particular experiment in Electric Lab can be overviewed from a single local computer and from a central SCADA system wherein personal safety as well as data security is an integrated part.
From a dedicated SCADA system in the Control Lab Electric Lab may be accessed and reconfigured along side Student Lab.
Experiments in Electric Lab may through Control Lab be strongly linked to experiments at SYSLAB and Østkraft.
