Jointly operated by SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the new Smart Grid Laboratory in Trondheim (NO) was opened in late 2016.
The laboratory is system-oriented and provides state-of-the-art infrastructure for R&D, demonstration, verification and testing over a wide range of smart grid use cases.
A specific feature of the laboratory is the opportunity to integrate real-time simulations and physical power system assets (hardware-in-the-loop) with ratings up to 200 kVA, 400 V AC or 700 V DC.
Laboratory use comprises the following areas:
- Smart home
- Management system
- Multi-terminal HVDC grid connecting offshore wind farms
- Frequency support from wind turbines
- Product testing and verification
- Micro grid
- 200 kVA Power Hardware in the Loop (PHIL)
- Example of physical power system setup
You can find out more about the capabilities and domains supported at the Smart Grid Laboratory of SINTEF in the brochure.
