RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
The SMART GRIDS laboratory complements the simulation studies with testing and analysis of components of power systems.
The laboratory activity is supported by the most valuable specialised software library at the national level, as well as by high-performance test equipment.
This will make the power system research and education bring benefits to both the university and industry.
