Microgrid laboratory facilities

Within the frame of the European project "Microgrids" several test set-ups have been installed or enlarged at different laboratories. Three of them are presented in this contribution: a specially designed single phase system of the NTUA with agent control software, the DeMoTec at ISET, which is a general test site for DER and the flywheel test rig, designed by the University of Manchester. These three sites allow the tests of different components, control strategies and different storage technologies. Though this contribution is aimed at the presentation of the facilities themselves, some test results are included
