Features & Benefits

• The training system teaches the principles of electricity generation from renewable energy sources (solar power and wind power), as well as its subsequent storage in lead-acid batteries.
• The course curriculum of the Electric Power Technology Training Program is highly flexible and allows a multitude of different customized training solutions.
• The courseware includes student manuals and instructor guides with all the theory required to perform the hands-on experiments.
• All workstations, modules, and components are very sturdy to ensure a prolonged service life in a demanding environment such as a training laboratory.
• The modular design approach of the training equipment allows a large variety of courses to be performed using a small number of modules, without unnecessary duplication of equipment.
• All electrical components can be interconnected without electric shock hazard since all live parts of the connection leads are concealed and insulated.
• All electrical symbols representing the components used in a laboratory exercise are clearly silk-screened on the front panel of the modules.
• The training system includes a highly versatile USB peripheral:
  • Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960-2. This module is used as a dc power source and a battery charger/discharger with a large variety of configurable parameters. It is also used to simulate different wind conditions through a large variety of configurable parameters.
• Firmware upgrades for the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply are available for download free of charge on the Festo Didactic website.
