The success of a sustainable energy supply in a free energy market depends on proper management of the energy flows. For control and management, power electronics are indispensable. The knowledge about electromagnetic power technology and the development of components are about to undergo explosive growth. In consultation with the universities of Delft and Eindhoven, KEMA and ECN are therefore building a laboratory for electromagnetic power technology (EMPT).

Medium Voltage Power Electronics Lab is the ideal test environment
How do you know for sure whether very high-power electrictronic components can safely be integrated into the electricity grid and function properly? No one has so far been able to give a satisfactory answer to this question. From 2008, however, power electronics anufacturers and researchers will be able to turn to the innovative Power Electronics Laboratory, which is currently nearing completion.

Uniek laboratorium in Arnhem
Dit lab is echter uniek omdat we onderzoek kunnen doen bij grote vermogens en hoge spanning op de schaal van bijvoorbeeld een hele woonwijk. We bieden de mogelijkheid
om verstoringen op elektriciteitsnetwerken na te bootsen en effecten te onderzoeken op zowel elektriciteitsopwekkers als op installaties die elektriciteit verbruiken. We kunnen verstoringen zoals dips in de spanning en harmonische vervuiling of verstoring van de wisselstroomsinus creëren.”
