The Renewable Energy Laboratory is available for the training of the students of the Department of Electrical Engineering of TEIWM, as well as for the research activities of its scientific team. Two microgrids are operational inside the laboratory. The first microgrid consists of two PV-inverters of 1.1 kW each, with 6 connected PV panels each, five loads of approximately 2600 W maximum consumption, a 600 Ah-24 V battery bank with its inverter and a wind generator of 1 kWp with its rectifier-charger. The second one operates as an electric car, scooter and bicycle charging station. The microgrids are controlled by an original system developed in the laboratory. In addition, the laboratory produces, not only energy autonomous microgrids but also small energy autonomous systems, such as the lighting of the bus station of TEIWM with special anti-theft systems and an energy-independent pole. The laboratory also makes use of special energy measuring equipment for buildings. Furthermore, training benches for photovoltaic panel exercises as well as a suitable bench for the construction of photovoltaic panels enhance the educational role of the laboratory. Some of the students’ dissertations that are being carried out concern the manufacture of PV frames. Finally, within the framework of the Renewable Energy Course of the Department of Electrical Engineering, educational trips are organized in photovoltaic parks.
Time to change !!!!
The fast development of technology, the political and state changes and international redeployments have led States, International Organizations and Environmental Organizations to focus on green energy to control the dramatic environmental degradation.
