  • Abstract
    The article deals with the design and implementation of a reduced scale laboratory platform consisting of a number of programmable emulators. By connecting these devices into the same grid, different micro-grid configurations can be emulated, allowing to perform many experiments related to its management, control and protection. Here, the proposed platform layout is described and its performance is shown through experimental results.
