Smart Grid Test-bed Brochure
Energy Systems Research Laboratory
Energy Systems Research Laboratory conducts federally funded research projects related to electrical energy systems on land, in space and at sea. Research projects related to physics-based modeling for the design and optimization of electric drives in their operating environment. Part of this work utilizes online dynamic parameter optimization for controller development in energy systems. Our research facilities include a Smart Grid test-bed for smart grid research on utility systems and movable vessels. This is a unique facility in the USA at the laboratory scale totaling a power capability of up to 72-kW in ac and dc sources. The facility also includes all types of alternate and conventional energy resources and load emulators.
