EUG / EUL Generator Control, Grid Synchronization, and Transmission Lines
|
|
|
|
Electrical power is mainly produced by three-phase generators. This applies to power stations as well as to standby power supplies, hydroelectric & wind generators. In addition to the basic experiments dealing with three-phase synchronous generators, the experiments involving the "EUG" modules include manual and automatic synchronizing circuits as well as experiments on the automatic power factor control (cos-phi control) and power control. Thus, the ”EUG“ modules can be used to simulate power station operation in stand-alone (isolated) or interconnected operation.
By adding the “EUL” Power Transmission Line modules, instructors can demonstrate three-phase line simulation of a high voltage overhead power line for measuring various operational states (eg. open-line, matched, short-circuit) Details...

ET 202 Solar Energy Demonstrator
|
|
|
The ET 202 is a fully-functional demonstration model of a system for heating domestic water using radiation energy. A high-power lamp simulates natural sunlight. Therefore, the unit can also be used in closed rooms. The light is converted into heat in an absorber and transferred to a heat transfer medium, in this case water. A circulating pump delivers the heat transfer medium through a warm water reservoir. In the reservoir, the heat is transferred to the stored water by a heat exchanger. Additional heat can be dissipated using 2 tap water connections. The unit is equipped with sensors to record temperatures, illumination and flow rate. The measured values are indicated on displays. Using a data acquisition card, they can be transferred to a PC for further processing. The ET 202 can be used to investigate various angles of incidence and irradiances. To do this, the flat absorber can be set to different angles and the height of the lamp is continuously adjustable. Details...

HL 313 Single Solar Collector System
|
|
|
|
In this system a flat plate collector transmits the radiated heat of the sun to a heat transfer medium. The energy is transferred to a hot water circuit in a heat exchanger. A differential temperature controller with thermostat keeps the hot water temperature in the reservoir constant. The solar circuit is protected with an expansion vessel and a safety valve. This system is built using commercially available components. For adequate performance the system should be operated with direct irradiation by the sun. Details...

CT 110 Engine Test Stand with CT 100.24 Four Stroke BioDiesel Engine
|
|
|
|
The CT 110 test stand can be used for a wide range of experiments on small internal combustion engines with a power output of up to 7.5 kW. Choose from 5 different engines, including BioDiesel, which can be mounted on the engine base plate. A test engine can be installed in just a few minutes. A load is applied to the engines by an air-cooled variable frequency asynchronous motor. The engines can be studied under full and partial load. A variable load and speed are applied to determine the characteristic diagram for each engine. The relationship between brake and engine can also be investigated. The test stand is ideal for both demonstrations and independent experiments by students. The data acquisition software displays all relevant values. The instructional material covers background theory and includes step-by-step instructions to experiments. The test stand can be operated in normal laboratory facilities. Noise emissions are within an acceptable range. The exhaust gases are vented externally via a hose. Details...
