The experimental platforms have been developped, including a PV generation platform, a wind generation platform, and the real-time controller for implementing both the designed EMS and HMS.
The PV generation platform includes 16 PV panels installed on the roof of IUT de Thionville-Yutz, 8 self-designed high-step ratio DC/DC converters in the laboratory and a data supervision system.
The wind generation platform has been developed with the collaboration of department GIM of the IUT. The platform has received a co-financing of the department for both research and teaching uses. Besides the installed wind generator in the campus, the same type of generator was installed inside for studying the wind generation behavior and connection with the DC microgrid without the limitation of weather conditions. The platform includes a wind generator, a DC motor, a self-developed electrical box for driving the motor and imitating the real wind behavior and corresponding converters.
