The research project is based on a real-time simulation environment in which actual systemsare connected to a simulated power grid. The parameters of the simulated grid can be varied in a very short time, with the use of real hardware ensuring a high degree of accuracy in the tests. The reason for this effort is the interactions between loads, which behave in a much more complex manner than the systems in residential units. For example, machines use different communication protocols, which lead to latency when they are connected. This requires high-resolution measurement data that can be accessed by several systems at the same time. In Karlsruhe, these are the power grid monitoring software GridVis® and the open-source application Grafana, which is designed to meet the specific requirements of research operations. GridVis® also serves as a backup to ensure the highest possible availability of measurement data. The feed-in points, i.e. transformers, were equipped with UMG 512-PRO Class A power quality analysers. UMG 801 devices were chosen for the output points. Special measurements, such as those on an inverter or an electrolyser, are performed by UMG 605-PRO power quality analysers. The connection to the installation was made using split-core current transformers from Janitza.
