TRADITIONAL POWER GENERATION TRAINER
This option of the Traditional Power Generation Trainer can work in both off-grid and on-grid modes. It consists of a 3-phase synchronous generator moved by an asynchronous motor using a VFD. With the manually controlled excitation current and motor, it allows investigating the generator performance in different mechanical energy. In off-grid mode, it allows investigating the supply of local loads, as well as voltage and frequency regulation. In on-grid mode, it allows implementing the synchronization with the mains power grid.
The Fuel Cell Energy Trainer mainly consists of a PEM fuel cell stack with a controller, hydrogen cylinder, a hydrogen flow meter, a pressure meter, resistive load, a power supply module, and a control and measurement module programmable through LabVIEW.
