1. Motivation
Smart-Grid solves one of the biggest Problems of the Future: The supply with
fluctuating Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources
As the grid can’t store Energy, the Electricity Supply should always be as high as the
Consumption
A regulative Connection between both ends of the Electrical Energy System
is necessary: Smart-Grid
Our Teaching Units demonstrate the functions and necessity of Smart-Grid, specialized
on the whole Electrical Energy System or on each part of it.

connected to the unit.
Continuous communication between the manager and all the
users/students on any unit at the same time
Thanks to a computer, the Manager/Instructor Computer located
"between" the units and the local net, the manager can manage the access
to the different units, and the permissions to control/view all the units.
The user/student can visualize the unit in his own PC during the
experiment
Allows easier and quicker understanding
