Over the years, our students have tackled some fascinating projects, from developing a smart meter measuring system [1] and implementing the RAPSim microgrid simulator [2], to designing swarm robots [3] and creating circuitry setups for teaching [4]. Each of these projects has contributed to the field of energy efficiency and smart systems in unique ways.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we\u2019re excited to share a small but meaningful improvement to our lab&#8217;s layout: new custom-designed cupboards from our university carpenter Gerhard Sprachmann! These hanging units are positioned between the desks, creating much-needed extra space. Now, students will have more room to work without sacrificing floor space in our already compact room.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-9211\" src=\"https:\/\/nes.aau.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cyber-Physical-Systems_Lab_cropped-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Cyber-Physical Systems Lab at Smart Grids Group\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nes.aau.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cyber-Physical-Systems_Lab_cropped-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nes.aau.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cyber-Physical-Systems_Lab_cropped-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nes.aau.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cyber-Physical-Systems_Lab_cropped-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nes.aau.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cyber-Physical-Systems_Lab_cropped-83x55.jpg 83w, https:\/\/nes.aau.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cyber-Physical-Systems_Lab_cropped-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nes.aau.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cyber-Physical-Systems_Lab_cropped-2048x1364.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/nes.aau.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cyber-Physical-Systems_Lab_cropped-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/nes.aau.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cyber-Physical-Systems_Lab_cropped-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It might seem like a minor change, but this added workspace will help facilitate more innovation and research once our students return from their well-deserved holidays.
