The AEL-FUSG Trainer consists of three main trainers and a set of static and dynamic loads.

  • AEL-FUSG-M. Final User Smart Grid - Smart Meter Trainer.
  • AEL-FUSG-E. Final User Smart Grid - Smart Energy Trainer.
  • AEL-FUSG-N. Final User Smart Grid - Net Metering Trainer.
  • AEL-FUSG-LO. Smart Grid Loads.

The Final User Smart Grid - Smart Meter Trainer, "AEL-FUSG-M," developed by EDIBON, provides a practical introduction to the operation of modern utilities within Electrical Grids through an actual Smart Grid System. This trainer allows users to engage with a real Smart Meter, gaining insight into how utilities function in today's smart grid environments.

The AEL-FUSG-M offers a realistic simulation of Smart Grid operations, aimed at deepening user understanding of the roles and mechanisms utilities employ within smart grids. This hands-on experience is designed to facilitate comprehension of current energy distribution and management systems.

The Final User Smart Grid - Smart Energy Trainer, "AEL-FUSG-E," by EDIBON, is a comprehensive trainer simulating the real functions of Home Energy Management Systems. The AEL-FUSG-E Trainer allows users to gain hands-on experience in understanding the workings of smart devices within a smart home or industrial setup, focusing on managing and controlling essential loads.

With this trainer, users can monitor, program consumption schedules, and visualize load profiles using smart devices, all connected via ZigBee wireless communication. This design enables an intuitive learning experience in managing energy-efficient environments, emphasizing the applications of smart grids in modern energy systems.

The "AEL-FUSG-M" trainer by EDIBON enables users to simulate energy sales or consumption of generated power, supporting scenarios such as electricity sales to the grid, net metering, and measurement of power flows in and out of Renewable Energy simulators. Through this trainer, users experience realistic simulations related to net metering, self-consumption, and electricity selling.

For these purposes, the trainer includes a synchronous generator simulating a wind turbine. This simulated turbine’s output is controlled by a voltage regulator, representing generation voltage, and a prime motor that adjusts the turbine's speed to replicate wind velocity. Users control the generation frequency and active power output through a frequency controller.

To facilitate synchronization between the generator and the grid, a synchronoscope is provided, allowing users to study real-world operations, such as net metering, self-consumption, isolated grid mode, and parallel operation mode. Additionally, the trainer includes a network analyzer to monitor key parameters—energy demand by loads, energy supplied by the grid, power from the generator, and energy injected into the grid. All measurements and adjustments are managed in real time via the main module, the N-PFD (Power Flow Distribution Module).
