Interactive Lab Assistant: Energy management

The experiment instructions come in the form of an Interactive Lab Assistant course. This multimedia course is a step-by-step guide through the topic of modern energy systems. The fundamentals are conveyed using easy to understand animations. The Interactive Lab Assistant in conjunction with the SCADA Viewer constitutes a comfortable experimenting environment.

Special features:

• Interactive experiment setups
• Measured values and diagrams can be stored in the experiment instructions per drag and drop
• The SCADA Viewer can be started directly from the experiment instructions
• Includes questions with feedback and evaluation logic for progress monitoring
• Documents can be printed out for hardcopy of experiment instructions including solutions
• Labsoft browser, course software and SCADA Viewer

Training contents:

Complex loads, power consumption measurement and peak load monitoring

• Three-phase consumers with star and delta connections (R, L, C, RL, RC and RLC loads)
• Measurement with active and reactive energy meters:

• For symmetric and asymmetric RL loads

  • In the event of a phase failure

  • In the event of over-compensation (RC load)

  • For active loads

  • In the event of energy-flow reversal

• Determination of the first and second power maxima
• Determination of the power maximum in the event of an asymmetric load
• Recording of load profiles 

Dynamic loads

• Dynamic, three-phase load (asynchronous motor)
• Power measurement in the case of energy-flow reversal

Manual and automatic compensation of reactive power
