Innovative laboratory

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 on electromagnetic power conversion and the development of the required components and materials are about to undergo explosive growth. In collaboration with the universities of Delft and Eindhoven, KEMA and ECN have therefore built this laboratory for electromagnetic power conversion technology.

Giant amplifier for power electronics

 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 manufacturers and researchers are able to turn to the innovative Flex Power Grid Laboratory.

Onderzoek naar verstoringsbronnen elektriciteitsnet

Uniek laboratorium in Arnhem (in Dutch)
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.”
