RELab - virtual laboratory of the renewable energy

The paper presents a very useful, innovative, compact laboratory, which is simple and complex at the same time. This virtual laboratory covers an important part of the renewable energy: photovoltaic energy, wind energy and solar thermal energy. The SolarLab board and the educational platform NI ELVIS II are the “heart” of the RELab laboratory. The complex software developed in LabVIEW is also presented. ReLAB allows the realization of over thirty lab experiments.
