The Power Hardware-in-the-Loop Laboratory (PHILSLAB) is jointly operated and used by the Institute of Mechatronics in Mechanics (iMEK) and the  Institute of Electrical Power and Energy Technology (ieet). It is used to develop and test new innovative solutions for the interaction of fluctuating energy generation, consumption and storage. It allows the testing of various hardware components and control strategies in a real-time simulated test environment.
