Introducing the EMEC Grid Simulator
The transition to decentralized, renewable energy is pushing existing power networks to their limits. For researchers and industrial engineers, developing the next generation of resilient energy systems means navigating unprecedented complexity.
How do you test innovative grid topologies and smart setups safely, before they hit the real world?
At EMEC-Prototyping, we believe that shaping the future of energy requires the right testing environment today. That is why we engineered our new Grid Simulator (20–150 kVA, 690 V) — a highly versatile platform designed specifically to support forward-looking university research and the industrial exploration of tomorrow's power systems.
Seamless Hardware Integration
A test environment is only as good as its ability to communicate with other components. We built the Grid Simulator to act as an adaptable hub for your experimental setups. It integrates seamlessly with a wide range of input and output hardware to mirror realistic energy ecosystems:
- Renewable Energy Sources: Easily connect wind turbines and dynamic PV simulators to test fluctuating power generation.
- Alternative Generation & Storage: Integrate hydrogen fuel cells and battery storage systems to validate modern sector-coupling concepts.
- Programmable Loads: Connect advanced electronic loads to accurately mimic shifting consumer behavior and complex industrial power demands.
Technical Highlights at a Glance
From decentralized microgrids to resilient, intelligent power networks, the EMEC Grid Simulator empowers you to prototype, validate, and completely rethink energy operations.
Our core capabilities are tailored to the needs of modern labs and pilot environments:
- Scalable Power Range: 20–150 kVA – delivering the exact scale required for advanced lab testing.
- High Voltage Level: Up to 690 V to ensure realistic, industrial-grade grid emulation.
- Flexible Topology: Fully dynamic emulation capabilities to model complex, evolving, and decentralized grids in real-time.
- Sector Coupling Ready: Fully equipped for the integration of smart grids, Power-to-X technologies, and alternative energy networks.
