DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE LABORATORY: |

The Study , Teaching, Research and Extension Group in Advanced Power Technologies and Innovations in Intelligent Electric Systems and Networks (aPTIs-SG²) has as its main general objectives: To research relevant topics in the context of smart grids, considering principles of integrity, interoperability and sustainability; To develop advanced methodologies and technologies for analysis, modelling and computational digital simulation that represents the complexity of the phenomena inherent in smart grids; To build professionals who have technical and human skills, and who are capable of planning, analyzing and operating the power grids of the future. Smart Grids are a set of multidisciplinary concepts and applications integrating renewable energy sources into distribution and transmission grids and advanced technologies in energy storage, supervision, control, automation, telecommunication, protection, marketing, etc., to optimize the safe and sustainable operation of agents in this complex system. Focusing on studies, research, teaching and extension in the area of smart grids, the aPTIs SG2 – Advanced Power Technologies and Innovations in Systems and Smart Grids Group- was structured and then duly registered with UNIFEI’s CNPq and PRPPG. SG2 members have achieved a significant academic output, with the publication on topics related to smart grids of over 100 technical-scientific papers in the last three years. Topics related to smart grids are also being addressed by the group’s teachers in the subjects: ELE101 – Introduction to Electrical Engineering ELE935 – Special Topics V – Smart Grids Since 2017, due to the partial support of CGLAB, practical classes were inserted in the educational activities of the mentioned courses, and these subjects have been taught using modern approaches to education through PBL – Project Based Learning (with an estimated 50% course load) and use of ICTs – Information and Communication Technologies. Therefore, CGLAB’s support for the initial structuring of SMART GRIDS LABORATORY will certainly contribute to greater learning effectiveness, as well as stimulating the development of “entrepreneurial learning-by-doing skills” in the group’s students and researchers. The availability of a new laboratory space for the aPTIs SG2 group at ISEE – Institute of Electrical Systems and Energy, enabled the beginning of the structuring of SMART GRIDS LABORATORY, to attend undergraduate and graduate courses for specific training (professional stage) . Regarding the University Extension, aPTIs SG² will be coordinating the Specialization Course in Smart Electric Networks (CEREI_SG) with partial use of the Smart Grids Laboratory. There are projects for structuring a Smart Grids Laboratory under the coordination of Prof. Benedito Donizeti Bonatto from aPTIs SG² from ISEE / UNIFEI |
