PE Research Infrastructure: Power Electronics Innovation Lab (PEIL)
In our Power Electronics Innovation Lab (PEIL) we test stationary and automotive power electronics modules, subsystems and converters and electrical machines.
We have a fully equipped (power, control, data management, cooling) in-wheel-motor test rig connected to a load machine (motor-generator setup), with the capability and plans to extend it to a full vehicle synchronized multi-actuator in-wheel motors test bed.
Modern DC and AC Microgrid Lab
Our lab enables to build a DC and AC microgrid which can be controlled by a fully digitized smart energy management IoT system. Up to 12 sources and loads can be connected with each other via 18 DC busbars (0-600V) and 12 three-phase AC busbars (0-400V) to emulate both standard IEEE AC and DC networks. It supports a system power flow up to 800kVA. Moreover, it allows to include a programmable battery emulator (160kW, 0-1000V), solar panels (0-250V), V2X capable charging infrastructure (150kW) and multiple electrical machines (up to 350kW).
