Facilities & Laboratories

High Voltage Laboratory

Provides capabilities for high-voltage equipment testing, insulation and cable diagnostics, partial discharge analysis, and research related to electrical infrastructure reliability.

Real-Time Simulation Facilities

Includes hardware-in-the-loop environments, real-time grid simulation and smart-grid simulation platforms. These facilities enable researchers and industry partners to model and validate power system technologies before field deployment.

Smart Grid Demonstration Facilities

Includes testbeds, microgrid systems, smart-metering platforms and communication infrastructure, complemented by artificial intelligence platforms for predictive analytics, digital-twin technologies and energy analytics.

Smart Metering & Communication Testing Facility

Supports Advanced Metering Infrastructure validation through a laboratory-scale Head-End System for data and OBIS-code testing, a private LTE network comprising core and Radio Access Network components for 3GPP-compliant communication trials, and meter-to-modem pin-assignment standardisation and testing across approximately 20–30 meter models from different manufacturers. It also supports antenna design, fabrication and testing, computer-aided design modelling of meters, cybersecurity penetration testing, and training on 450 MHz private LTE networks.
