- In-depth coverage of basic renewable energy systems, while also covering the prerequisites for this field using the same equipment
- 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
- Realistic indoor experiment with flexible solar panel emulator and wind turbine emulator
- Live parts of electrical connection leads are concealed and insulated allowing interconnection without electric shock hazard
- System includes highly versatile USB peripheral, four-quadrant dynamometer/power supply
- A Siemens PLC controls the different functions of the hubs and is located in a transparent electrical enclosure, with all the other electrical components
