General Description
The Solar Power Training System uses a modular design approach to introduce students to the production of
electrical energy from solar power, with emphasis on the use and operation of photovoltaic panels. The Solar
Power Training System mainly consists of a solar panel test bench and a monocrystalline silicon solar panel. By
installing the solar panel in the solar panel test bench, students can conduct several indoor experiments on
solar panel operation and performance using the artificial light source of the test bench. Students can also
install the solar panel on a tripod to perform outdoor experiments using sunlight.
The Solar Power Training System is part of the Electric Power Technology Training Systems, Series 8010. Each
training system in Series 8010 is based on the Electric Power Technology Training Program and provides a turn-
key solution dealing with some aspects of the wide field of electrical energy. The exhaustive courseware
provided with each training system covers all the theory required to perform the laboratory exercises, while
review questions and unit tests allow students to test the knowledge they have gained.
The Electric Power Technology Training Program is highly modular in both courseware and hardware. Because
of this, courses and equipment from the program are available as required, either individually or in the context
of a specific training system. The program covers several different subjects in the field of electrical energy, such
as rotating machines, electrical power transmission, power electronics, home energy production from
renewable resources (wind and sunlight), large-scale electricity production from hydropower and wind power,
smart-grid technologies (SVC, STATCOM, HVDC transmission, etc.), storage of electrical energy in batteries, and
drive systems for small electric vehicles and cars.

Modular Design Approach

The modular approach for designing
the training program and lab
equipment enables instructors to start
building their electrical-energy
laboratory with a basic package of
courses and equipment and add new
courses and equipment over time
without needless duplication of
equipment.
All lab equipment consists of modules
that can be inserted into a
workstation. Module dimensions vary
between two standard EMS sizes: full-size and half-size. Symbols and diagrams representing the electrical
components in each module are clearly silk-screened on the front panel. Standard, color-coded safety banana
jacks are used to provide access to the various components in each module.

Features & Benefits

• The training system allows easy experimentation with the operation of solar panels and the storage of electrical
energy in batteries.
• Solar panel experiments can be performed both indoors, using the solar panel test bench as light source, or
outdoors, using sunlight.
• The course curriculum of the Electric Power Technology Training Program is highly flexible and allows a multitude of
different customized training solutions.
• The courseware includes student manuals and instructor guides with all the theory required to perform the hands-on
experiments.
• All workstations, modules, and components are very sturdy to ensure a prolonged service life in a demanding
environment such as a training laboratory.
• The modular design approach of the training equipment allows a large variety of courses to be performed using a
small number of modules, without unnecessary duplication of equipment.
• All electrical components can be interconnected without electric shock hazard since all live parts of the connection
leads are concealed and insulated.
• All electrical symbols representing the components used in a laboratory exercise are clearly silk-screened on the
front panel of the modules.

laboratory exercises. The bars can be removed and locked to the side of the workstation when the safety lock is
not necessary.

Additional Information
Six holes in the rear panel of the workstation allow connection to a power supply, as well as the connection of 2
kW machines to their interconnection modules. Assembly of the workstation before painting ensures that each
EMS module in the workstation is correctly grounded.

Workstation (Optional)
579484 (8134-20)
The Workstation is a fully assembled
workstation that serves the same
purpose as the Mobile Workstation,
Model 8110-2, but has no storage
cabinet or pull-out work surface. This
workstation is intended for use on a
bench (not supplied) and is fitted with
rubber feet to protect the bench top.
Alternatively, this workstation can be
mounted on either a Mobile Storage
Cabinet, Model 89117-1, to make a
Mobile Workstation, Model 8110-2, or
on a Mobile Base, Model 88863, to
make a mobile workstation without
storage cabinet. In that case, it is
possible to mount and lock a second
Workstation, Model 8134-2, on top of the first Workstation to double the space available for EMS modules.
The Workstation consists of three rows of compartments designed to house EMS modules. Two of these rows
have full-height compartments while the other row has half-height compartments. Each row of full-height
compartments can accommodate up to three full-size EMS modules or six half-size EMS modules whereas the
row of half-height compartments can accommodate up to three half-size EMS modules.

7 This add-on workstation allows modules from the Industrial Controls Training Systems, Models 8036, to be installed in the EMS workstation. Refer

to the 8036 datasheet for more information.

Module Installation
The EMS modules are guided into position along stainless steel guide rails. Separators between each bay of the
workstation ensure perfect alignment of the EMS modules and allow their easy insertion in the workstation. A
holding mechanism ensures that each EMS module stays in place once it is installed in a compartment of the
workstation. Front-mounted push levers allow all EMS modules on a single row to be released for easy removal.

Safety Padlock Bars

Two safety padlock bars on the front of the workstation prevent students from removing EMS modules during
laboratory exercises. The bars can be removed and locked to the side of the workstation when the safety lock is
not necessary.
