Ilya Grinberg, Professor at the Technology Department
“The Electric Machines laboratory courses, for example, are
mandatory for all Bachelor engineering students at our
university, regardless of their particular discipline.
Here we will use the UniTrain-I courses to provide students
with a solid technical grounding. Advanced students, and in
some cases those working on projects for their graduate
thesis, will use Lucas-Nülle advanced systems for drive
technology.
The fact that the systems offer such a broad range of
applications is important to us. It allows us to carry out
experiments that tie in with theoretical instruction while also
covering more advanced research work as well – an added
value which, to my knowledge, is not offered by any other
manufacturer.“

In pumped storage power stations electric energy is stored by converting the potential energy of water and then converting this potential energy into electrical power which is then fed back into the grid.
Thanks to the growth in regenerative energy generation these so-called hydroelectric power storage stations are not only necessary but indispensible in smart power grids with high grid quality.

"Smart Grid"
The conventional power grid becomes a Smart Grid, when it is equipped with communications, instrumentation and process control and automation technology as well as IT components.
A Smart Grid leads to improved grid infrastructure utilization, which dampens the need for their expansion or can improve grid stability for the same power utilization load.

Due to the future global energy changes and demands,
I think we can all agree the only way forward is to use such training systems which prepare the student for the challenge in the future, like integratable renewable energies in a smart grid:
Renewable energies for education: Wind, Photovoltaic's and Storage
Interactive multimedia courses for training systems
Integration of renewable energies in the smart grid system with the SCADA education Software
