Mission

New features of Siemens commercial software (MGMS, ADMS, SINCAL, etc.) are beta-tested in the lab. The packages are also used to conduct research in optimal operation of transmission and distribution systems with high penetration of renewable energies, stochastic modeling of power systems, protection of PV farms, real-time monitoring of transmission and distribution systems, distribution system automation, and power system restoration and resilience analysis. Research outcomes are then incorporated to enhance functionalities of these packages. The lab is also used for both class instructions and training activities.
