EtherCAT enabled micro grid: an
evolution to smart energy control
|
|
Abstract |
Renewable
energies are making significant
advances. Due to the increasing local
generation of electrical energy, an
intelligent electricity network - a
Smart Grid - is frequently demanded for
an efficient and reliable energy supply.
Several studies have indicated
fundamental differences between
simulation and actual implementation of
micro grids. Lemcko, center of expertise
at Howest has built a test platform to
monitor and study actual grid behavior.
This brief presentation shows you the
use of EtherCAT communication as
backbone of the test platform. |
