Smart Grid Laboratory

The smart grid lab at GJU is established in 2018 and includes a research team that focuses on smart grid topics to conduct several research topics. The research group works in three areas: energy management and renewable energy systems, storage systems and electric vehicles, smart sensors, and precision devices.
