Smart Grid Technologies Training System 8010-C

The Smart Grid Technologies Training System combines a modular design approach with computer-based data acquisition and control to provide unrivaled training in smart grid technologies. The system features the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960, and the Data Acquisition and Control Interface, Model 9063, two state-of-the-art USB peripherals that greatly enhance the learning experience of students.

Training begins with the Home Energy Production course. This course familiarizes students with the fundamentals of home energy production from renewable resources such as wind and sunlight. It covers both stand-alone home energy production and grid-tied home energy production. The course also explains and demonstrates how home energy production is an important contributor to the implementation of a smart grid. Students then continue with the following three courses dealing with smart grid technologies; Static Var Compensator (SVC), Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and High-Voltage DC (HVDC) Transmission Systems.
