For a successful research in the technical science a modern basic laboratory structure is necessary. In the scope of the Mega Grant 220 № 11.G34.31.0044 (Project Baikal) the authors have developed and set into the operation a modern laboratory complex at the National Research Irkutsk State Technical University working in close cooperation with RAS and Siemens for investigation of Smart Grid Technology. Following research is possible in the founded labs:
Lab A Fuel Cell – investigation of PEM FC Membranes – material research
Lab B Multimedia & Simulation – planning of optimal power system including the 3D option, forecasting of renewable generation - operation research
Lab C Modern, Synchronised Measurements and Protection – planning of adaptive protection and testing of high resolution devices – research on ICT technologies
[1]This paper describes selected research results of the project Baikal supported by the decree No 220, «Measures to Attract Leading Scientists to Russian Educational Institutions» (Grant No № 11.G34.31.0044). The detailed description is presented in annual reports and more than 100 scientific papers published in the scope of 7 international conferences and some scientific journals.
