1. Motivation Smart-Grid solves one of the biggest Problems of the Future: The

supply with fluctuating Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources

As the grid can’t store Energy, the Electricity Supply should always be as high as the Consumption

A regulative Connection between both ends of the Electrical Energy System

is necessary: Smart-Grid Our Teaching Units demonstrate the functions and necessity of Smart-

Grid, specialized on the whole Electrical Energy System or on each part of it.

Is based on the APS12-Unit and allows the control of a complete power plant with 12 different types of power generation

Simulation of the whole electric Power System with different types of supply and consumption

Flexible power monitoring possibilities. Add of different elements, like intelligent

protection relays, SCADA- System, or smart meters, create a Smart Grid System

Power management software allowing : comprehensive measured value detection, processing and control of the power distribution system, load management, consumption, etc

Capacity to take decisions such as make alternative connections to other parts of the grid

Possibility to teach 30 Students at the same time

We can offer as we described A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITH SMART GRID, but as the EDIBON APS12 is modular, other smaller SMART GRID options are available

3.2 SCADA-Net ESN. EDIBON SADA-Net System allows 30 students to work

with Teaching Units in any laboratory, simultaneously This system allows to view/control the units remotely, from

any computer integrated in the local net (in the classroom), through the main computer connected to the unit.

Continuous communication between the manager and all the users/students on any unit at the same time

Thanks to a computer, the Manager/Instructor Computer located "between" the units and the local net, the manager can manage the access to the different units, and the permissions to control/view all the units. The user/student can visualize the unit in his own PC during the experiment

Allows easier and quicker understanding This system allows you to safe time and cost
