The laboratory provides students with the opportunity to simulate various operating conditions on the power plant model, such as, phasing the generator to the network, speed control, excitation control and more. The model provides a realistic overview of electrical quantities in the power system. The physical model allows students to verify their theoretical knowledge and gain experience approaching the real situation in the network.
The power plant model can be controlled manually or remotely from a PC using a SCADA system. The model consists of a motor-driven generator with measurement of voltage, current, frequency and delivered power. The panel contains synchronization for the possibility of phasing to the network. The model further consists of a substation with one busbar system. The model allows the connection and disconnection of various types of loads as well as the regulation of generator excitation.
The laboratory is also equipped with a functional 22 kV switchboard with disconnector, circuit breaker and ABB REF 543 protection. The switchboard elements can be controlled manually from the switchboard panel or via the protection interface.
