Description: The Remote Laboratory for Solar photovoltaic LED Street Lighting lets students run experiments on street lighting, focusing on energy efficiency and light distribution.

These experiments involve autonomous streetlights powered by solar panels that store energy in batteries for nightime use.

The lab allows for real-time virtual analysis of lamp performance, including efficiency and light output, without needing on-site presence. It also facilitates detailed characterization of light spread for optimal brightness and uniformity. Lastly, IoT control enables remote, automated dimming of lights based on ambient conditions or traffic, optimizing energy use and extending lamp life.

The laboratory consists of solar PV panels, battery, control devices and a load bank which follows an electricity demand profile that is remotely programmed by the user (the electricity demand data for one day is uploaded in a web-based platform).

This demand can be similar to a typical house in a rural area, for example. Then the system is working supplying the electricity demand profile which is followed by switching on different physical resistances. All the parameters are monitored.

The Pyrolytic Conversion of Biomass Remote Lab enables students to emulate experiments of pyrolysis in an AUGER type reactor using experimental data obtained in a laboratory.

The laboratory was implemented using the ultra – concurrent modality since the reactor is able to get to risky situation through a bad manipulation of the process variables, however the data that will be available for this remote lab is entirely obtained in real experiments which will be available to the students through a web interface which will associate the mass distribution of products to the operational conditions set up.

The lab offers the capability to obtain mass distribution of several set up configurations such as temperature, heating rate, process time and feed stock type.

This lab empowers students to apply their knowledge in practice and gain a deeper understanding of the theory of thermochemical processes.

In this remote laboratory practice, students will explore the flocculation process, a key technique in water treatment. Flocculation involves the formation of larger particles, known as flocs, from dissolved or suspended substances, which facilitates their subsequent removal by sedimentation or filtration.

The experiment is based on the formation of iron hydroxide flocs, generated from a mixture of iron salts, citrate, and air, which is activated by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. This photochemical reaction allows iron to precipitate in the form of oxides or hydroxides, forming visible flocs that capture various impurities present in the water.

Although in this case the experiment is applied to arsenic removal as an example, the main objective is for students to understand the operation and efficiency of the flocculation process in general, and how it can be applied in different contexts of water treatment.

This remote laboratory allows the students to study the operational parameters of a ventilation system that pollutants and ventilation parameters to ensure optimal Indoor Air Quality.

The laboratory test bench allows for the design of multiple experiments and the testing of different conditions.

The test bench contains two main ventilation options. Natural ventilation, through automatic windows and a door, and a mechanical ventilation system. This way the students can compare or combine both ventilation methods.

The bench also allows for simulation of occupation of spaces using Carbon Dioxide as a proxy for occupants. The CO₂ is injected in the space at a real-time adjustable rate. This way the students can model different scenarios such as classrooms, laboratories or theatre functions.

Lastly, IoT controls enables remote control of windows, door, ventilators, dampers and injection of CO₂. Also, the module has windspeed, CO₂, temperature and humidity sensors.
