Studies on DC microgrids
SERVICE DESCRIPTION:
A DC flexible Microgrid is available for experiments in the MicroDERLab EB105 research laboratory. The rated voltage is 230 V, so that any appliance with switch mode power supply can be connected directly without the need of additional conversion.Several energy sources in the power range of 1 kW are available for testing the microgrid operation: a PV system; fuel cell; a variable DC power supply, a 250 Ah storage unit and a Triphase TM Rapid Prototyping Platform (5kVA) which can be used either as a power generator or a power electronics converter module. Additionally several power electronics converters are available for flexible configuration of the energy flow control. Lightning in the laboratory is partially supplied from the DC ring. Other loads (including the computers) can be directly connected through custom-designed plug-in boxes. Grid operation can be monitored and controlled from a central control unit (PC) via Ethernet.

Studies on synchronized measurements
SERVICE DESCRIPTION:
The mobile Synchronized Measurements laboratory is composed of 6 mobile PMU racks and a datacenter. Five racks are equipped with single channel (three currents and three voltages) 1133 Power Sentinel PMUs, and one rack is equipped with SEL 487E multichannel PMU provided with 18 current inputs (6 three-phase current channels) and 6 voltage (2 three-phase independent channels) inputs. All racks have installed a communication module enabling connections to the datacenter in Bucharest via broadband 3G modems. Datacenter consists of one PDC based on the open PDC platform and one server capable of running several applications for PMU data analyzers and processing for example parameter identification and data mining. The PMUs are usually deployed within the distribution networks of Romanian DSOs.

Studies on power system emulator
SERVICE DESCRIPTION:
A laboratory power system model consisting of one substation, one synchronous generator and grid synchronization module, transmission line, transformers and R-L variable loads is successfully used at UPB (Room EI-210) to study a large number of applications and events specific to real power systems. The model is completed with a wind generator of which operation in terms of wind speed and power output is monitored in real time; a lead acid battery is used to store the energy produced by wind generator, then to supply several variable loads. Various system configurations using the individual elements can be obtained to study either transmission system or distribution system operation issues. The model is flexible and allows testing algorithms and procedures like PMUs-based network parameters identification, protection for active distribution networks and grid-connected DG operation.

Studies on rapid prototyping platform
SERVICE DESCRIPTION:
The Rapid Prototyping platform has hardware and software building blocks allowing implementation and test of new equipment ideas and control strategies in the following areas: • Power amplifiers and waveform generators • Programmable voltage and current sources • Motor drives • Active filters • Microgrids. One unit (5 kVA) is installed in UPB - the EB105 room. A second unit (90kVA) is connected to a real distribution grid (Cheia substation, 160 km North of Bucharest), can be operated remotely and is used in collaboration with one of the Romanian DSOs. Both platforms are programmed and controlled in real time with Matlab/Simulink™. All parameters and process values are available for being changed and monitored directly from the numerical simulation environment.
