The Importance of Smart Grids in Engineering and Their Application in Technology

As electric power systems continue to expand, sophisticated devices are needed to ensure safe and efficient management. In today’s landscape, real-time monitoring of electrical parameters such as voltage, current, and power levels is indispensable. That’s why EDIBON has developed a range of wired and modular equipment tailored to the needs of students and researchers in the field.​

Our APS12, AEL-MPSS, AEL-TI and AEL-BSGC solutions offer real-time monitoring, providing students and researchers with essential insights into grid operations.

Each solution is designed to meet different study needs within the electrical power system grids domain.​

But first,  What are Smart Grids?

Smart Grids are modern electrical systems that leverage advanced digital and communication technologies to oversee electricity production, transmission, and distribution efficiently. Unlike traditional power grids, Smart Grids operate in two directions: they allow the flow of electricity from power plants to consumers and enable consumers to generate electricity, such as through home solar panels, and feed it back into the grid.

Additionally, these grids are equipped with intelligent sensors and devices that deliver real-time insights into energy usage and demand, facilitating rapid responses to challenges like power surges, outages, or the integration of variable energy sources like wind and solar.

How can we at EDIBON help you understand and research Smart Grids?

EDIBON, as a leader in advanced educational solutions, has developed equipment such as the Advanced Mechanical, Electrical, and Smart Grid Power Systems (APS12) and the Modular Smart Grid Power Systems Series (AEL-MPSS), which are at the forefront of training in Smart Grid technologies.

  • APS12 – Advanced Mechanical, Electrical and Smart Grid Power Systems (Utilities)

The APS12 is a natural system, not a simulator, that enables the observation and analysis of electrical phenomena in actual power grids, such as short circuits, overvoltages, overloads, and blackouts. This unit is essential for understanding how Smart Grids manage these challenges and how existing electrical infrastructures can be improved. It also provides a controlled environment to study and experiment with scenarios in natural energy systems, preparing engineers to face real-world challenges.

  • AEL-MPSS – Modular Smart Grid Power Systems Series

The AEL-MPSS series is a modular set designed to provide both theoretical and practical training in key areas of electrical systems, such as the generation, transmission, and distribution of energy, as well as the integration of renewable energies and microgrids. This series is highly customizable, allowing users to focus on specific areas according to their needs. This is crucial for the training of engineers who will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining the Smart Grids of the future.

At EDIBON, we understand the critical importance of Smart Grids in the future of energy management. Recognizing the different levels of study and perspectives, we offer a wide range of fully configurable products tailored to meet diverse needs.
