Abstract

Experimental validation is essential in renewable energy emulators and energy storage systems to ensure reliability, accuracy, and practical implementation. However, the high cost of AC/DC converters, measurement circuits, and microcontroller-based control platforms limits access to experimental validation, particularly in developing regions. This paper proposes cost-effective hardware and software solutions for validating renewable energy systems and storage management. The proposed approach is based on affordable power converters, low-cost voltage and current measurement circuits, data acquisition tools, and open-source control platforms. The methodology includes the design, implementation, and experimental testing of these low-cost solutions under different operating conditions. The obtained results demonstrate satisfactory measurement accuracy, stable behavior, and acceptable error margins, confirming the feasibility of the proposed setup for experimental validation. These solutions provide a scalable and accessible alternative to expensive laboratory platforms, enabling researchers and institutions with limited resources to perform reliable experimental studies and contribute to the advancement of sustainable energy technologies.

Abstract

Advances in power system protection and the increasing complexity of electrical networks have created a growing need for flexible and cost-effective platforms for testing and validating protection algorithms. However, academic laboratories still face a lack of accessible experimental platforms allowing researchers to implement and evaluate new protection strategies under realistic conditions. This gap is becoming increasingly significant with the emergence of artificial intelligence and data-driven techniques, which require flexible environments for development, testing, and experimental validation. To address this limitation, this work presents the modeling and implementation of a dual-mode emulator for minimum reactance distance protection of overhead transmission lines, operating in both real-time and offline modes. The proposed system acquires and processes voltage and current signals to determine the minimum line reactance used for fault detection and distance estimation. The developed algorithm is evaluated through simulated fault scenarios under different operating conditions. Results demonstrate reliable fault detection and consistent fault-distance estimation. The dual-mode architecture enables both offline analysis of recorded signals and real-time algorithm evaluation. The proposed emulator therefore provides a practical, low-cost academic platform for research, training, and experimental validation of conventional and emerging protection strategies.
