Testbed for virtual microgrid control strategy development

Abstract

– The Power System Department of the Budapest Tech educates power engineering students and performs research and development activities on power system control area, as well. In 2005-2006 a demonstrational energy park was set up on the roof of the building where the new types of the power generation methods can be investigated in practice. The park contains photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, heat pump, solar collectors and fuel cell. In the park the students make performance measurements on the individual units. Now we are working on the physical building of the microgrid that will be controlled from a SCADA console.
