One of the main objectives of the SEL to strengthen the department energy option courses by providing the lab components and the requirements of the project. The lab provides the facilities and solutions for the following energy courses: EEEE221 (Renewable Energy Sources and Systems), EEEE321 (Energy Conversion), EEEE322 (Power Electronics), EEEE522 (Power System Transmission and Distribution), EEEE489(ST: Smart Grids). Furthermore, at the undergraduate level, capstone projects may utilize the lab for energy-related topics. Such topics may include solar photovoltaic energy conversion design and testing, energy grid synchronization and protection, and building pilot microgrids.
At the graduate level, the lab serves the analysis and design projects required for the following courses: EEEE622 (Power System Transmission and Generation), EEEE789 (ST: Smart grids). Furthermore, the graduate students utilize the lab for their experimental research work in thesis and graduate papers. Such utilization may include designing pilot microgrids, testing solar panels, storage and EV components influence on stabilizing the grid, and Controlling the grid voltage and frequency variations.
