SysLab

SysLab is Risø DTU's laboratory for intelligent distributed power systems.

 

SysLab enables research and testing of control concepts and strategies for power systems with distributed control and integrating a number of decentralized production and consumption components including wind turbines and PV-plant in a systems context.

 

SysLab consists of three interconnected sites. It includes two wind turbines (11kW and 55kW), a PV-plant (7 kW), a diesel genset (48 kW / 60 kVA), an intelligent office building with controllable loads (20 kW), a 15 kW / 120 kWh vanadium redox flow battery, and a number of loads (75 kW, 3 x 36 kW). They are all connected in one distributed control and measurement system that enables very flexible setup with respect to experimental configuration. It allows grid connected operation, island operation, or operation in parallel with wind turbine or PV-plant.

 

The control system makes it possible to implement different control structures and to program complex control sequences that can be automatically executed as well as to program control algorithms to investigate the performance of components as part of the system e.g. support of the network or parallel operation of wind turbine and battery with the objective of firming wind power.

 

SysLab also provides an infrastructure for measurements and data acquisition. It can be used for testing and characterisation of equipment includes measurement devices installed in the switchboards and signals from the battery control system. SysLab can also be used as part of a Virtual Power Plant or otherwise accessed externally, which makes it possible for SysLab to part of a large experiment.
