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.

3.2 SCADA-Net
 ESN. EDIBON SADA-Net System allows 30 students to work with
Teaching Units in any laboratory, simultaneously
 This system allows to view/control the units remotely, from any computer
integrated in the local net (in the classroom), through the main computer
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
 This system allows you to safe time and cost
