On December 2nd, the kick-off event for the “Microgrid Laboratory” project took place at Paderborn University. The Department of Power Electronics and Electrical Drives (LEA) and KET in cooperation with Energie Impuls OWL invited participants from industry, research and politics to the lecture hall L. Project goals and opportunities for participation were presented. The participants also discussed the potential that the Microgrid Laboratory offers for intelligent energy systems of the future.
Under the leadership of the LEA department, KET develops the infrastructure which can be used to simulate the behavior of battery storage, wind turbines or combined heat and power plants in the laboratory. The Microgrid Laboratory in Paderborn creates a platform for future research and development projects to test and verify new innovative concepts under realistic conditions. This also strengthens the competitive position of the local industry.
