400W Smart Grid Experimental Setup

This consists of 2 Microgrid, one 400 watts & 200 watts of power generation connected to a main Power Grid with all the components needed to convert a traditional Grid to a Smart Grid so that many experiments can be conducted on this “Smart Grid”. 3Φ, 1KW isolation transformer with power input from utility grid will act as main grid to which 2 Microgrid will be connected through synchronizing panel. Optionally a commercial 1KVA Grid Connected Solar Power Inverter can be added to this experimental setup. By adding 1KVA commercial solar inverter, when the experimental setup is not used by student, it could be used to generate power and save EB bill.
