The Smart Grid Power System with Power Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Loads, with SCADA, "AEL-CPSS-01S", designed by EDIBON, enables the experimental study of the overall behavior of electric power networks by reproducing, at laboratory scale, the structure and operation of a real electrical grid. Through this application, users can analyze in an integrated way the processes of generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption of electrical energy, as well as the electrical phenomena associated with their operation.
The application facilitates the understanding of fundamental concepts in electrical engineering, such as power flow, voltage and frequency regulation, network stability, load sharing, and reactive power compensation. Thanks to its didactic design based on real electrical components, users not only study these phenomena from a theoretical perspective but can also observe their behavior under practical conditions, enabling more comprehensive and industry-oriented training. This makes the application a key tool for both university education and advanced technical training, as well as applied research.
The application has been designed following the typical architecture of power systems, allowing each of its stages to be reproduced. The generation network is based on a synchronous motor-generator set (GMG4.5K3PH), whose speed and excitation control— managed through the generation substation module (N-PSUB3) enables the study of the relationship between active power and frequency, as well as between reactive power and voltage. This approach allows practical analysis of P–f and Q–V decoupling, as well as the generator’s behavior both in isolated operation and when operating in parallel with the grid.
The study of energy transmission is carried out using the line module (N-AE1CD), which incorporates configurable electrical parameters (resistance, inductance, and capacitance), allowing analysis of the influence of impedance on voltage drop, losses, and power transfer. The integration of grid, step-up, and regulation transformers (TRANS3/5KGR, TRANS3/5KSU, and TRANS3/5KRM), together with the voltage regulation module (N-REG16), makes it possible to reproduce real conditions of energy transmission and distribution, including voltage level control and compensation for voltage drops at different points in the network.
Energy distribution is structured through a busbar (N-BUS08 and N-BUS09), which allows the configuration of different network topologies and the execution of real operational maneuvers, such as opening and closing switches, busbar coupling, and load transfer. This design facilitates the study of electrical substation behavior and the influence of network configuration on power flow and operation.
Consumption analysis is carried out using configurable load banks, both passive (resistive, inductive, and capacitive) and electronic, enabling the study of different types of loads, their influence on power factor and reactive energy compensation, as well as their impact on network regulation and stability. These modules can be selected in different configurations, adapting to the educational objectives and specific needs of each installation.
The application incorporates a series of instrumentation elements based on analog measurement modules (N-PPIM2) and network analyzers with data acquisition (N-EALD), allowing monitoring of electrical variables such as voltages, currents, power, and power factor at different points in the application. This facilitates detailed analysis of energy flow, losses, and the dynamic behavior of the electrical elements.
Finally, integration with the SCADA system enables real-time monitoring, control, and data acquisition, providing advanced tools for variable visualization, time-based event analysis, and understanding network behavior under realistic operating conditions, both in isolated operation and when synchronized with the grid.
