The NERC team can rely on state-of-the-art equipment to support their activities in both research and specialised education. This has been made possible by consequent investments since 2017. Emphasis has been placed on Photovoltaic Solar Energy at the SOLAR Lab and Electrical Energy conversion, distribution and storage at the DES Lab.
As the new TUAS EduCity campus was completed in 2020, the NERC team now has a 300 m² laboratory space for research and development work. The main laboratory hosts the SOLAR Lab and the DES Lab. An easily accessible area in the floor under the laboratory is reserved for large energy storage and the heaviest test infrastructure. Charging stations for electric vehicles are located in the same part of the building.
The new campus also hosts laboratories dedicated to other research activities, as well as a research PV production plant, located on the roof of the building.
