With the Photovoltaic Hybrid System with Battery, learners develop practical skills for planning, commissioning and operating modern photovoltaic hybrid systems. They investigate the interaction between photovoltaic generation, battery storage, the grid and loads, and learn how to handle different operating modes safely.

The integrated solar array emulation enables weather-independent and reproducible experiments. Learners investigate different irradiation conditions, solar profiles and partial shading and directly observe how these factors affect energy generation and system behaviour.

From System Understanding to Practical Application

An industrial hybrid inverter is at the heart of the system. Learners configure the device for different application scenarios, including self-consumption optimisation, stand-alone operation and uninterruptible power supply. By working with real industrial components, they apply theoretical knowledge directly to typical tasks in energy technology.

Using the SCADA software for PowerLab, learners record and visualise energy flows, voltages, currents and device states. They analyse charging characteristics, efficiencies and dynamic processes and systematically evaluate deviations. This makes complex interactions between the solar array, battery storage, grid and loads clearly understandable.

Dimension, Measure and Evaluate in Practice

In addition to commissioning, learners learn how to dimension stand-alone photovoltaic systems based on defined load profiles. They determine suitable sizes for the PV generator and battery storage, linking the physical principles of solar energy with practical planning tasks.

Real measuring instruments, safe connections and the clearly structured PanelTrain environment support a transparent learning process. Step by step, learners develop the practical competence to plan, configure, analyse and commission photovoltaic hybrid systems.

This is Real Experience Learning: understanding complex energy systems by experiencing, measuring and applying them in practice.
