25Flex Power <strong>Grid</strong> LaboratoryInnovative testing and model validation of DER equipmentThe Flex Power <strong>Grid</strong> Lab (FPG Lab) in Arnhem is an independent, medium-voltage laboratoryequipped for testing and researching innovative control and (grid-connected) powerelectronics under complex realistic conditions. The FPG Lab is capable of supplying industrialmedium-voltages (400 V – 24 kV) at a continuous high-power rating (1 MVA), in combinationwith complex realistic ‘bad grid’ conditions, including pre-programmable distortion(harmonics or dynamic network phenomena up to 2.4 kHz). This facility is one of the fewcapable of ascertaining whether distributed energy resource (DER) units function correctlyunder realistic system conditions. It verifies the hardware (power components) and thecontrols (ICT) simultaneously to validate that a DER unit is ready to be integrated into a largersystem (e.g., the energy grid). The FPG Lab is the only facility able to test such combinationsat medium-voltage and high-power levels.
