Types of Equipment / Services on Offer
Very large variety of equipment (hardware and software), depending on the units of the Energy Lab: (1) Smart Energy System Simulation and Control Center, (2) Power-to-X Lab, (3) Carbon Cycle Lab; The units of the Energy Lab allows the testing of new technologies in a semi-industrial environment, supported by tools for simulation at the scale of the system and the units and subunits in stationary and dynamic operation. The Energy Lab is designed to utilize "technical" raw materials and transform them into relevant quantities of products that allow application tests.

Description
The Energy Lab 2.0 consists of various facilities that are combined to form a plant network. The majority of the labs and facilities are located on the Campus North of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).In front of the large photovoltaic field are large-scale battery storage facilities, container plants for methanation and power-to-liquid synthesis, and a gas turbine test stand. However, some facilities are located at the Jülich Research Center and the German Aerospace Center in Stuttgart - namely electrolysis and high-temperature heat storage. The Energy Smart Home Lab is located on KIT's Campus South. The data of the facilities converge in the Smart Energy System Simulation and Control Center - SEnSSiCC for short. The SEnSSiCC consists of the following laboratories: SESCL, EGSAL, CMVC and PHIL. There, data will be analyzed, evaluated and new intelligent networking strategies will be developed on this basis. The Security Lab protects the data and the energy grid of the future from hackers.
