SEIL SMART ENERGY INTEGRATION LAB

IMDEA ENERGY INSTITUTE

DESCRIPTION AND GOALS OF THE ORGANISATION

The Smart Energy Integration Lab (SEIL) is a modern laboratory for
electricity network studies. The lab approximate capacity for power
processing is 210 kVA and it consists of a set of power electronics
converters, resistive load banks, 47.5 kWh battery system, distribution
panels and monitoring and control systems. The SEIL platform allows
analysis, development and testing of realistic scenarios for energy
integration in both AC and DC networks and also operation of distribution
power networks, islanded networks and microgrids.
SEIL is included in Network of Laboratories Redlab with Reg. No 368.

AREAS OF ACTIVITY
t Emulation of power networks operation t Power electronics design & control
t Implementation of energy management scenarios t Power integration of generation systems

t Design and evaluation of control systems t Energy storage integration
t Energy efficiency studies t Electronic systems prototyping

Advantages:
* Flexible and reconfigurable system.
* Emulation of several AC and DC interconnected power networks at the same time.
* Islanded or grid-connected microgrids.
* Completely automatized.
* Simple data access by using standard communication interfaces.
* Simple integration of new energy resources.
* Modelling and emulation of generator and load dynamics.
* Rapid prototyping.

What makes SEIL a unique installation is the flexibility in implementation of control algorithms and simple access to all
test and management data from any part of the network. The lab microgrid is capable of recreating a number of
scenarios and events that occur in real power networks and, therefore, represents a useful tool when it comes to
research, development and implementation of energy management algorithms.

Control algorithms are programmed by using Matlab/Simulink® and are then executed in real time on industrial PCs.
Real-time data exchange provides access to all control variables and parameters during the test. In this way the desired
flexibility in reproducing real dynamic characteristics of any energy source, generator or load is achieved.

The monitoring and control system allows an independent, remote, real time access to SEIL resources including the
network reconfiguration, control of contactors and connection to the external power grid.
