The Renewable Energy Lab commissioned
by Ecosense at IET Lucknow features an integrated hybrid microgrid with solar,
wind, battery storage, a smart house simulator, and an advanced AEM
electrolyzer and fuel cell system. This future-ready lab enables students and
researchers to explore green hydrogen, energy conversion, smart metering, and
distributed power management—all in one platform.
Ecosense Sustainable
Solutions has successfully implemented a Smart Renewable Energy-Based Energy
Management System (REMS) at the Institute of Engineering and Technology
(IET), Lucknow, with integrated Green Hydrogen production and
utilization capabilities. Designed to function as a live hybrid microgrid,
this advanced academic lab allows students, researchers, and faculty to conduct
hands-on experiments, visualize renewable energy systems in action, and
understand the interconnectivity between various sources, storage mechanisms,
and loads.
The lab not only supports
academic training but is a powerful tool for applied research in energy
transition technologies such as Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyzers,
PEM fuel cells, and smart distributed control systems. This
initiative positions IET Lucknow at the forefront of India's clean energy
education and research movement.
At the heart of the lab
lies a hybrid microgrid architecture that mirrors real-world sustainable
power systems. This includes a seamless integration of:
Each subsystem is
individually operable but also interconnected for hybrid experimentation. The
system allows learners to perform energy balancing, load prioritization, peak
shaving, and fault simulations in real time—functions critical to designing
resilient renewable-powered infrastructure.
All components are
controlled and visualized through a Centralized Control Unit and
associated energy management software:
Cloud connectivity (Enapter
Cloud) further enables remote access, performance optimization, and system
diagnostics.
India’s National Hydrogen
Mission and renewable integration goals demand a workforce trained in green
energy, hydrogen economy, and smart grid technologies. This lab addresses
that need by:
